Actress Han Ga-in was shocked after visiting a plastic surgery clinic and receiving a surgery estimate.
On the 15th, a video titled “What if Han Ga-in, the representative beauty of Korea, received a plastic surgery estimate?” was uploaded to Han Ga-in‘s YouTube channel, “Free Madam Han Ga-in.”
On this day, Han Ga-in said, “I’ve been to many dermatologists, but today is my first time at a plastic surgery clinic,” and added, “You often say that the screen doesn‘t fit well. Why doesn’t it fit well? As far as I know, I have a wide face and a chin, but I think it‘s because I don’t have cheek fat. I wonder if you‘ll tell me about that,” expressing her expectations.
Han Ga-in, who visited the first hospital, was advised, “You might feel that the skin around your eyes has sagged compared to before. It would look better if you get double eyelids and reposition the fat above the eyes.” The doctor said, “You should get surgery when you’re uncomfortable. Perhaps you don‘t feel the need for it now,” he said, mentioning the cost of the surgery at around 3 million won.
After her first hospital consultation, Han Ga-in said, “When I come to a plastic surgery clinic, my heart shrinks. I don’t think you should go. Unless it‘s absolutely necessary, I don’t recommend coming with the mindset of, ‘What if this happens?’”
Han Ga-in then visited a second hospital. The doctor pointed out, “I‘ve seen the eyes and noses of many celebrities, but there are few who are this pretty. The cheekbones and facial contour are the problem.” He added, “Your nose is so perfect, but it’s a bit asymmetrical. The eyes need double eyelids, eye correction, and fat repositioning above the eyes. He shocked everyone by mentioning the cost of the surgery, saying, “I’ve had surgery to correct an asymmetrical nose, and the plastic surgery estimate is 25 to 35 million won.”
Han Ga-in said, “I’m really tempted,” and added, “When they say that the price of a car is spent on your face, my self-esteem and confidence have fallen sharply.”
At the last hospital, they advised, “You may not like having cheekbones, but that’s a good thing. If necessary, I recommend only cheek fat grafting.”
After the consultation, Han Ga-in said, “I have complicated feelings. If I get the surgery you said, it’ll turn out much better.” and added, “Anyway, I believe that this naturalness will be much more beautiful someday. I’ll show you that. I want to show you what it’s like to age naturally without any intervention.” So I will give up on plastic surgery,” he answered honestly.
