Korean beauty standards significantly influence the procedures offered by plastic surgeons in Korea, shaping both the types of surgeries performed and the aesthetic outcomes pursued. These standards emphasize features such as a small, V-shaped jawline, a high, defined nose bridge, large, double-lidded eyes, and fair, flawless skin. Procedures like double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring are popular among both locals and international patients seeking to emulate the “Korean look.” Understanding these cultural ideals is essential for patients to set realistic expectations and effectively communicate their personal aesthetic goals with surgeons, ensuring that the results are both culturally informed and personally satisfying.
