New York based photographer, Ji Yeo, 29, compiled photos of post-op South Korean women
South Korea has the world's highest per capita rate of cosmetic surgery
One woman featured in the series, titled Beauty Recovery Room, had more than 16 procedures in six months


A woman covered in bandages, bruises and stitches cuts a forlorn figure as she demonstrates the lengths to which some Asian women will go to achieve a Western look.

For her series of photographs entitled Beauty Recovery Room photographer, Ji Yeo, 29, from Seoul in South Korea, contacted women through an online cosmetic surgery forum and asked permission to take their picture in the days following their procedure.

Around ten women agreed and the results offer a fascinating insight into a society where women are heavily criticised for their appearance, but where obvious signs of cosmetic work are also frowned upon.

Data compiled from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2010 confirms that South Korea has the world's highest per capita rate of cosmetic surgery.

She attempts to capture the scale of the industry and visualise the millions of people who’ve passed through the rooms and halls of the clinics in South Korea, where young people have more plastic surgery than anywhere in the world and medical tourism is approaching 300,000 a year.

Ji Yeo says that even small clinics have become multi-million-dollar complexes. One complex is 21 storeys high and has 12 operating rooms, 40 postoperative rooms, 70 consolation rooms, a dermatology salon, a spa, dental care, aftercare, a cafe, a library, and a sky lounge.

She says the state of the art cosmetic surgery clinics are forming a new skyline in Gangnam, a district in Seoul, the country’s capital.
