Korean people get plastic surgery to look like White people
Is that true or not?
And why are we talking about it?
Cuz I'm Heappy
Truth about Korean plastic surgery and skincare procedures in Korea
Hey guys, my name is Haeppy
H A E P P Y
Who are you?
My name is Tony
I'm CEO of Seoul Guide Medical
A medical tourism agency in Seoul, Korea
And I have gotten work done with the SGM
Like I mentioned before
One of the things was filler
And I was very happy with the way my nose look
Was I trying to look like a white people?
What's your definition of white?
I think I'm going at this from the perspective of
Comments on YouTube, westers and general thinking.
Oh these Asian people making their eyes like a bigger,
Double eyelids, a high nose bridge
Just to look like us
So what would a white person nose or white people's eyes be to you
If I have to say it big brown eyes
With the thicker double eyelids
High nose bridges that will come all the way up here
My nose dips in, I don't know
Those are like I kind of things I would attribute to as white features
But that's kind of like a
Eurocentric kind of viewpoint
Which could have been propagated by who controlled media
But if you think about it the other way
There's a huge population in India and Pakistan
Not all of them have double eyelids
They have tall noses if you look at the
Populations in Africa, they also have double eyelids
If you look at me, for example,
I'm a bit over 40% Portuguese and Spanish
Another 40% from Latin America
And I have almost 9% African. I think my DNA test said
So I'm really mixed in there
But if you look at the features
It's not just what people would consider "white"
That kind of viewpoint
You're kind of missing out on all the other
Cultures that there are in in Asia
In Africa pretty much across the planet
Would it then be
Accurate to say that they're trying to be another race?
I don't think so
I think they're just trying to be the best version of themselves that they can be
In their own perspective
So if you look at beauty
Beauty standards, we can say it's fairly
Mathematical there's trends that go in and out, but it's
It's basically meant on proportions
Your face is divided into thirds
An upper third, middle third and a lower third
And then after that it's divided into the left and
Right sides of your face.
Whoever has more balance in their face across time
Has generally been considered more attractive
So what people are normally looking for is more balance.
Bigger eyes provide better balance if your eyes are fairly small
And then your forehead is larger
Your chin is longer. It doesn't fit into balance.
So what we do we don't make people into another race
We just make your face balanced
To fit you, so you can be the best you you can be.
Why is it that Koreans like high noses so much?
Is because high noses are a better balance?
If you have a nose
That's a little bit higher
It gives you better proportions your face looks more dynamic
A higher nose isn't like
"Oh, this person who is white has the nose" because there's also
Colored people who have noses who are also high right?
It's just it provides better balance for your overall face
We're in Dubai right now. Middle Easterners also have very high noses, right?
Yeah, Middle Eastern people have super tall noses.
Again, it's not a white person thing.
It's a brown person thing.
It's a black person thing
It's a every color person which I think a kind of every single color.
It's an every color kind of person thing
I have a lot of patients who have come here from Dubai and Abu Dhabi and other parts of
United Arab Emirates
And other parts of the Middle East
So we're actually here visiting them and
Two other people came on the trip with us
MJ is a youtuber as well and also Uni Unnie
Both have been past customers of this jam, right?
Yeah
Probably the best thing that I've gotten from Toni
The hair transplant
Look at my hair line
It use to go all the way like up to here
And then back down, but now it's all like
But that's another thing, right?
In terms of beauty standards like
Like my hairline and stuff
I think the Koreas do end up getting a lot of hair line transplants
Yeah hair line transplants in Korea are
Extremely popular. There's basically two kind of places where people go in
The world. One is Turkey and one is Korea
For hair transplantation. Turkey is cheaper
But if you want the higher quality then people tend to come to Korea
We're not gonna be talking about like prices and specific surgeries in this video
I just wanted to kind of put it out there
Maybe you've got some ignorant friends or like
"Ah Asian should people all look the same"
"Ah, Asian people just want to look like White people"
"Koreans are all just fake" because you know
I've been reading like comments on YouTube and stuff
And like, "99% of Koreans get plastic surgery".
"Ah, Koreans all fake"
"Ah, I will never marry a Korean because my kid might pop out like troll."
Not gonna stay it's called Racism
I can't find another word for it.
Is it true like? that all Koreans get plastic surgery?
Before we continue check out seoulguidemedical.com after watching this video for more information
No, it's not true. Not all Koreans get plastic surgery
It's the country with the most plastic surgery cases per capita of anywhere in the world
So the number is high, right.
Some numbers put it at about 20%
For the entire population of Korea
Between the ages of 19 and 29. It's about 1 in 3
So it is a really high number and that's not counting skincare
And non-surgical procedures
For example, we did Haeppy's a filter here on the nose.
Gone now
That's not counting that
There's no taboo.
The way I kind of think about it is like
You and I are both wearing shirts
Right, we're both wearing a bit of BB cream. We're both got stuff in our hair.
What's the difference between that and
Doing something on your face.
Oh, well, you're not changing your physical self.
When I was first year of university, I was 58 kilograms
I don't remember how many pounds it is now, but it's very skinny for my height
I went to the gym for years and years and on end and I ended up at about 85 kilograms
That's a huge transformation in my physical sense.
And when I was going through it
I heard people saying "why are you working out?"
Why are you eating so much? Why are you changing your body? You're fine
The way you are, and I'm like "because it's for me"
Not really for you
It's because I want to do it
And that's the way Koreans tend to think about plastic surgery and skincare
It's for me.
And if I want to improve myself and it's not hurting anybody then what's wrong with that?
What is wrong with that?
Leave it in the comments? You might disagree.
I want to know what do you guys think?
I always want to know what you guys think even though. I might tell you that you're wrong
And I probably will that's just who I am. Well, I've always been curious, right?
So if Koreans aren't changing themselves to look like a different race
Are there any Koreans that are naturally born with the features that that people get surgery for?
Yeah Yeah, there's so the world is not
Totally homogeneous even within a society right?
There's Koreans that are born with the double eyelids
There's Koreans that are born with the tall nose
There's Koreans that are born with a V-line shape
And this happens across every culture wherever you go. There's gonna be variations
It's not like everyone's the same
And it is a kind of
I don't want to call it racism or prejudice
But basically in order to recognize a face you have to have seen about
10,000 of those faces in order to really distinguish the features
So when you and I are growing up I grew up in Canada
So I got to see lots of different faces, but one face I didn't see in my town which is London, Ontario, Canada
There were
Not many Asian people where I grew up
And when I first left
Canada and came to Korea and I started to see Asian people
Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
I could not tell them apart.
That's racist
Not because I was prejudiced or racist
I could just could not distinguish the features now
I've lived in Korea for a really long time
I can totally tell which
Part of the country they're from and I can distinguish
Of course between the different nationalities
For those of you are watching that you have never
You don't know who I am
You just click based on the title. Just know this
When people get surgery to look better
It's just to look better to what they believe
Better is
They're not trying to be
Spanish or White or Black or whatever
He's an expert in his field so he can say with confidence what he can say
Take what we've said
Which I'm telling you is true
Do your own research to confirm whether or not it's true
And then you could spread the good word amongst the people
It's kind of
Interesting because when people talk to us about beauty, they think it's all subjective and it's all opinion as well
But it's actually not it's mostly based on mathematics and proportions
What do Angelina Jolie and George Clooney have in common?
Symmetry look at what was considered beautiful from since people started building buildings
For example, it's those buildings in ancient Rome and ancient Greece that were all in proportions
The columns were all mathematically built
According to some researchers symmetry is super sexy
In Egypt in
Latin America in Cambodia
Everything was based on proportions
Most studies repeatedly show that people find symmetry attractive.
There is a subjective
View where everybody has their trends in their own culture
But most of it is based on
Objective reasoning of balance.
So why is symmetry sexy?
Well, the idea is that symmetry somehow signals genetic fitness
If you just look at your face and your like,
"You know, I want to improve this because you know
My right side is a little different from my left side"
Not wrong
Yet cemetery might mean more than just good genes
One study published in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin and Review found that
Those with symmetrical faces tended to be more
Extroverted and friendly
Character traits that a lot of us like in our potential mate
And then your subjective opinion comes into play
So in terms of the subjective opinion
That's all up to you and you talk with your doctor figure it out
And if you're happy the way you are then just be happy the way you are
If you love yourself
Love yourself
If you want to improve yourself, improve yourself
If it doesn't hurt anybody else then why not
