A South Korean woman has been accused
of 'ruining her face' after 'before' and 'after' shots of her plastic
surgery procedure spread online.
The
unnamed woman, allegedly a reporter on a South Korean TV channel, has
undergone jaw surgery in order to achieve the dainty heart-shaped face
desired by many east Asian women.
The result of the procedure is an unusually pointed chin, and the reactions on a Japanese online forum did not hold back.
Before and after: The South Korean woman looks drastically different after undergoing plastic surgery
One used wrote: 'Someone
please tell me this was Photoshopped!' while another quipped that 'it
looks like you could plow a field with that chin,'reports.
Another asked: 'Is it really possible to taper someone’s chin that much?
'She really doesn’t know what true beauty is.'
South Korea is the world's largest market for plastic surgery, with one in five Seoul women having gone under the knife.
The
most popular surgical procedures include double eyelid surgery - which
reduces excess skin in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear bigger,
lipoplasty - which uses high-frequency sound waves to eliminate fat -
and nose jobs.
The young woman, allegedly a reporter on a TV channel, is one of thousands of Koreans who have had surgery
While on the nonsurgical front, Botox and laser hair removal remain firm favourites, a 2012 report said.
It
appears the woman in these pictures have undergone drastic jaw surgery,
a high-risk operation which involves re-aligning the jaw and shaving
off parts of the bone to create a 'heart shape'.
It
is usually a last resort solution to correct facial deformities where
people have been unable to chew properly due to an excessive over or
underbite, but has become popular in South Korea.
A
small face with a 'V-shaped' chin and jawline is considered a mark of
feminine beauty in much of East Asia, along with a high-bridged nose and
big eyes.
