Plastic surgery is on heat around the world right
now. According to the Global Statistics on Cosmetic Procedure made by
International Society Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), over 20 million
cosmetic procedures were performed throughout the world in 2014. That being
stated was a massive number of executed plastic surgery for a year. But this is
not the case right now.
While plastic
surgeries on humans are not of anyone’s business, since it was the individual’s
choice in the first place, plastic surgeries for animals is something many of
us, especially animal lovers, can’t take for granted. It’s not like animals
could talk and wish for something to be done on their bodies. However, in some
cases, owners sometimes treat them as dolls that need to be stunning to look at;
whereas, this action is not something to just overlook.
Plastic surgeries on animals, mostly on domesticated
animals such as dogs, are often done for medical purposes but that seems not to
be the case now in South Korea. In an article made by Koreaboo.com on August 3,
2015, netizens show their disgust on dog plastic surgery that is gaining
popularity in South Korea at the moment.(

According to Kotaku, one of South Korea’s biggest
newspaper a report was made by Chosun Ilbo, also a Korean daily broadsheet, in
regard of this issue.“Plastic surgery for pets in the past were for
medical reasons but the result also brought better looking dogs, so there is a
growing customer base getting a plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons on their
dogs,” Kotaku reports that an unnamed veterinarian told the latter newspaper.
On the other hand, before judging the whole South
Korean population, Kotaku added in their report that according to a survey directed
by a Korean veterinarian magazine “The Daily Vet” found that 63% of pet owners
are opposed to cosmetic surgery on pets and believe that they should be banned.
