Lee Seung Hoon – On plastic Surgery

(Hardcover : 50 pages  ; 2013)

The standards of beauty, which have varied depending on the era, region, and cultures, are now defined as ‘areas to be removed or changed’ and applied to men and women through lines.
The lines and faces are becoming a blueprint to build competitive looks and a map of desire to pursue beauty.

People are going under the knife, perhaps because they believe it is more painful to live with looks that do not conform to social standards than to endure the pain of tearing flesh and crushing bones. Five minutes before the surgery, they are now at a crossroad between ‘past looks’ and ‘new looks’.
