Poll Shows 42% of Korean Women Have Had Botox or Filler Treatments

South Korea is well known for its affordable and expansive cosmetic surgery industry, but still this number seems extremely high to me:

A vast proportion of Korean women have had either botox or filler treatments, a study out last Friday suggests.

Pharma giant Allergan polled 450 women aged 21 to 55 here, and 42 percent admitted they have had the cosmetic treatments. And a quarter of the women who have not had the treatments yet would be willing to have them in the future, while 17 percent said they would think about it.

Only 16 percent said they had no intention of getting the treatments, which either plump up the face to make it look more youthful or immobilize facial muscles so no laugh lines or other wrinkles form.  [Chosun Ilbo]
