1. korean women under the age of 25 in 2020 are pretty unlikely to have had plastic surgery, except for eyelid surgery. they spend WAY MORE time and serious dedicated effort and money than north american women on their makeup and image care. This achieves a lot of the effect that people perceive as "korean fakeness/plastic surgery".
2. Women in their late 20s as of 2020 increasingly feel pressured to get married by their parents as they approach the age of 30. Female friend-relationships are not often what I would consider healthy and more outright competitive than western female friendships. Advice can come in the form of chastising often. Plastic Surgery IS a big industry there. Adverts are everywhere in the city and on public transportation. Women try to "correct" their perceived inadequacies through plastic surgery or less common, but increasingly more common than ever - exercise and proper diet.
3. Women get married and husband usually still plays the role of seoul breadwinner, working long hours. Korean men tend to have ample opportunities to hang out and drink in "guys only" situations that can easily involve or lead to strippers/room girls and prostitutes. Women notice lack of interest in them as time goes on and do more plastic surgery (mid 30s to late 40s)
4. by 50s they realize they are officially "ajumma/ajeosshi" status and each one pretends to be together for their family but nearly hate each other and each has their own affair or two going on with which they spend a lot of their time and there is very little subtlety about. The woman gets plastic surgery further to generate interest or whatever with her new fling.
Between nos. 3. and 4 is where the michael jacksonesque disaster-noses/faces come from. Wealthier Koreans who are uneducated and unworldly are most likely to go for the plastic surgery stuff. There are cases of very well-done and subtle facial plastic surgery which can end up well, but mostly I hate it because of the plastic mask effect. For me, it seems unbelievably shameful and mentally sick to cover over the gifts of your ancestors. A lot of koreans deny the statement "koreans do plastic surgery to look white", but honestly its pretty true though not explicitly stated. the well done but extensive plastic surgery i've seen on late 20s and early 30s women, mostly makes me wonder if they are half-white, half korean, and i don't know how they can deny that that is the intended effect. I really hope and have some belief that the plastic surgery trend will die out in the future, as young koreans are more worldly and better critical thinkers with each generation.
You asked what cities have the least plastic surgery? The smaller the town, the less likely I'd say. Conversely, if you find girls in the philosophy department of a respected university, you'd probably find less plastic surgery there as well. Women in Daegu are extremely hot, though the city itself is known as extremely hot. I was there once when the temperature was about 44C. Absolutely unbearable.
