Cosmetic Surgery vs. Plastic Surgery

I'm so freaking tired of hearing haters accusing some of the KPOP idols being 'plastic' when in fact cosmetic surgery does exists. If you didn't know the difference between the two, then you better continue reading.

 

Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck and body. Because treated areas function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, cosmetic surgery is elective.

Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. Plastic surgery is intended to correct dysfunctional areas of the body and is reconstructive in nature.

Understanding the difference between “cosmetic” and “plastic” surgery.

Cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are not the same thing:

  • Cosmetic surgery procedures enhance a person's appearance toward some aesthetic ideal.
  • Cosmetic surgery is practiced by doctors from a variety of medical fields including dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, general surgeons, gynecologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, as well as doctors from other fields.
  • Unlike cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery focuses on repairing and reconstructing abnormal structures of the body caused by birth defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. (source)

 

Some idols went under the knife just to have a double eyelid and some did their nose. Seriously, in my opinion, it's not bad at all. It's just a minor change/s and if you compare the pre-debut pics, you can hardly spot the difference. If some idols didn't do surgery and they appear ugly in the public's eyes, they'll get criticisms to no end. And if they'll do surgery, they will be bashed as well. Seriously, what is wrong with you people? o.O

 

I am so done with all the narrow-minded peeps in this world /sigh

I don't get why they hate on an idol because of that.
"Oh she got surgery, I'm not her fan anymore." PS and CS doesn't change talent. Just because they get a touch up doesn't mean that they become talentless. :/
