As the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) concludes, inquiries from test-takers about cosmetic surgery are increasing significantly as their interest in appearance management increases. This is because, as there has been a long period of time when people were unable to pay attention to their appearance due to focusing on their studies, more and more people are considering changing their image ahead of a new start.Especially, most examinees are considering plastic surgery for the first time in their lives, so most do not have sufficient accurate knowledge or information about plastic surgery.
The field of greatest interest among test takers is definitely rhinoplasty. The nose is located in the center of the face, so it is an area where changes in detailed elements such as height, line, and angle can greatly change the mood. Because it can create natural and three-dimensional images, it is consistently popular among young people.
However, if you follow a trend and forcefully apply a specific shape or make it excessively large and high, the balance of the entire face will be lost and there is a high risk of reoperation over time. Rather than looking at trends, it is important to comprehensively analyze one's face shape, facial features ratio, skin thickness, and soft tissue condition to select the most harmonious design for each individual.
In addition, the nose is a structure that plays an important role not only in terms of external beauty, but also in terms of functionality, responsible for breathing and smell. If you have a congenitally deviated nasal septum or have rhinitis, if functionality is overlooked during the surgical procedure, it may cause discomfort in daily life.
Therefore, rhinoplasty should not only focus on improving appearance, but should be approached in a way that simultaneously solves functional problems to expect highly satisfactory results.
Gangnam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kang Hyungjoo (plastic surgery specialist) said, “After the college entrance exam, it is a time when you are free from long academic stress and have psychological freedom, so the rate of considering plastic surgery increases.” He also emphasized, “If you are a test taker considering plastic surgery for the first time, it is essential to accurately understand your current condition through sufficient consultation and create a personalized plan that takes both aesthetics and functionality into consideration.”
Director Kang continued, “Cosmetic surgery is not simply a choice to change appearance, but is a medical practice that must consider long-term results and safety, so sufficient consultation and careful decisions are essential.” He also advised, “It is especially important to conduct sufficient consultation with a specialist with extensive clinical experience to understand the surgical method, materials, and recovery process that are suitable for you.”
