Eye of the Beholder

What does it mean to be beautiful? Who gets to define what beauty is? These are the kinds of questions we are asking after reading some fairly disturbing online attacks of a South Korean TV reporter who underwent a cosmetic surgical procedure.

The aforementioned woman, thus far unnamed by the news sources covering her story, has become an Internet sensation since plastic surgery before and after photographs of her significantly altered chin went viral. The photos indicate she had the shape of her chin narrowed to reflect contemporary sensibilities of what it means to be feminine in many east Asian cultures today. Countless verbal assaults have since cropped up, calling the reporter 'deformed', 'scary', 'ruined' and other similar epithets.

Whether you are interested in getting gummy bear breast implants or are in need of revision plastic surgery to correct a botched operation, you shouldn't feel obligated to justify your choices to anyone but yourself. The board certified plastic surgeons at We Know Beauty recognize there is no universal standard of beauty, and we are inspired daily by the dreams and determination of our patients to provide them with an extra boost of self-confidence through our craft. There is no reason you should feel ashamed for wanting to be the very best version of yourself—no matter what that looks like to anybody else. Call us today at 310-300-1500 for a complimentary consultation; it could be the best decision you'll ever make!
