We’ve
all seen those “before and after” images in ads popping up online or towards
the back of magazines. Liposuction, bigger breasts, smaller nose, hair
replacement, breast reduction, wrinkle removal, neck flaps for speed
underwater; whatever the goal of the surgery more often than not the post-op
photographs are shot from much more flattering angles and under softer light in
an attempt to prove that the surgery was a complete success.
Although
one or two of the following images are guilty of similar crimes, they are
nevertheless undeniably shocking. We’d never dream of telling people what they
can and can’t do with their own bodies, but you’ll have to forgive us for
having gasped when we first laid eyes on these pre and post-op images. Some of
them are so different that we started to wonder whether we were looking at the
same people.Coming
from South Korea – a country whose fondness of plastic surgery is fast becoming
known around the globe – these images reflect just how far some people are
prepared to go in the name of what they perceive to be beauty.
