Cosmetic procedures non-Koreans might find weird

misc.
We are all well aware of the nose jobs, double eyelid surgeries and the whole lot that plague Korea's beauty standards. But there are some surgeries that are even stranger and go unnoticed by many.



Although these other procedures were possibly drowned out by the constant attention drawn to eye surgeries, did you ever think of having armpit surgery or even changing the shape of your lips? If not, you're in for a treat as this list will shock you with some of these weird cosmetic procedures!


Armpit Botox



Ever wondered what it would be like to never sweat again? Well you can put the dream to rest and make it a reality in Korea. Doctors inject botox into the underarms and it clogs the cells that produce sweat. No deodorant for 2 months sounds nice.


Hybrid breast filler ("boob shots")



"If you don't want fans thinking you got surgery but really want to push out your assets during those lengthy promotions, this might be the shot for you," said the sketchy surgeon. As you expected, these shots, aka hybrid breast fillers, will pump up your melons into watermelons for a limited time.


Leg Shots



For all the Barbie girls, living in a Barbie world, this is an essential cosmetic enhancement. Doll legs, although it may sound weird, are commonly done too. It keeps the legs free of wrinkles, strong, thin and ready for the stage. Just add some oil for a little shine. �Allegedly, Girls' Generation and f(x)'s Krystal are fans of this enhancement.


Aegyo Sal



Aegyo Sal, which stands for the cute bit of baby fat under one's eyes, is a common procedure done in Korea. Doctors inject fillers under the eye in order to create that adorable, puffy look. It also prevents those nasty crows feet.


Smile Lift�



While it may come off as a bit... creepy, in Korea it is important to put a smile on that pretty face. People are cutting and lifting the corners of their mouth in order to have a more "natural" looking smile. Creepy Joker smile or just a cute addition to one's features? It is rumored that Shin Min Ah had the surgery done.


Hairline correction�



Hairline correction isn't just for balding, old ahjushis anymore. If you have a receding forehead line, want more room for your bangs, or just want a prettier hairline, you would get this simple procedure. Although this isn't plastic surgery, this is still considered cosmetic enhancement. Some people use laser to remove the hair while others, who want a smaller forehead, would even tattoo their hairline. Suzy of miss A is one of many idols accused of getting this done for that perfect hairline.


Forehead Augmentation



These are implants that are added to the forehead to either make it appear larger, smaller, rounder, and even smoother. Actresses like Kim Tae Hee were suspected of getting this done.


Rib Cage Shaving



As horrifying as it may sound, shaving your rib cage is a thing! Forget the waist corsets and slimming shirts, just go the extra mile and remove it entirely. C.I.V.A's Lee Soo Min revealed on an episode of 'Taxi' that she was accused of undergoing this surgery by many fans.


Ab Etching�




Women aren't the only one's going the distance in their cosmetic enhancements, men are right behind them. If you chocolate abs simply look like chocolate flab, there are plenty of ab etching surgeons in Korea who can make you into a ab-tastic fantasy.�


Double Jaw Surgery


Although this does not happen only in South Korea but also other countries, usually it is only allowed for medical reasons elsewhere, whereas in South Korea, this can be done for purely cosmetic reasons. It's a very dangerous procedure in which they take out your whole jaw, cut out chunks of it, then bind your jaw back together for a slimmer look.�YoonA�was suspected of getting this work done.�




One clinic collected the parts of the jaws they took out from their patients and made... a Tower of Bones... to show how many successful procedures they did. �Mind you, this is a pretty dangerous procedure, so guess it's... a way to show off...
