Influenced by the culture of plastic surgery in South Korea, Ji Yeo initially intended to have plastic surgery done on herself and sat through multiple consultations with various surgeons. Soon after realizing that the truths surrounding plastic surgery were rarely made clear, Yeo began using photography as a means of investigating the process. By capturing unsightly “after” photos and the sterile surgery centers, Yeo’s photos of South Korea’s booming plastic surgery industry show the great lengths that some women go to in the pursuit of beauty and the repercussions experienced by women who choose to go down this route. Neocha spoke to Yeo recently about her series of powerful images.
