A Spike in South Korean Male Plastic Surgery Highlights Changing Worldwide Appearance Standards

A recent article on NextShark discusses a reported dramatic increase in the number of South Korean men obtaining plastic surgery, largely influenced by the growing popularity of “pretty boys” in both K-Pop and television K-Drama. The truth is that standards of male appearance are changing not only in the Asian nation, where plastic surgery has been generally popular for many years, but all over the world. Even here in the United States, where men once favored a more rugged look, many males are now going for a combination of a softer, even somewhat androgynous, face, and a well-toned and muscular body. The good news is that plastic surgery and cosmetic offerings can help many men to achieve their desired appearance.

While there are definitely limits to what can be achieved, within reason procedures can help a great many men get closer to their ideal with numerous procedures. In terms of facial appearance, rhinoplasty (nose jobs) has long been one of the most popular procedures for American men, but now more of them are asking for somewhat more boyish appearance by making the nose less pronounced. Also, men wishing to stave off premature wrinkles and other skin issues often opt for Botox (aka “Brotox”).

The NextShark article discusses the increasing popularity of plastic surgeries that can create a more toned and muscular look. One procedure that is apparently growing in popularity in the South Korean market is breast reduction for men. Some young men in particular may have otherwise attractive physiques that may be somewhat marred by gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Other body contouring procedures often sought by men includes liposuction, to remove stubborn pockets of fat that seem immune to vigorous exercise and a healthy diet and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) that is often chosen by men who have loose skin following a weight loss.

More and more men are learning what many women have long known: plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures are very often an outstanding solution, and there’s no shame in wanting to look your very best.
