No. 22 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo-Face Gold Spoon

It is a pity that the class is determined and cannot be changed as it is born. As you study history, you will see aristocrat, plebeian, servant class, Western aristocrat, commoner, slave class. I would have thought that this kind of system was unreasonable when the class was determined and never changed.

The development of society has been made in a way to provide many opportunities to change the class with my own efforts. Our society today does not have a definite class and a class that cannot change forever.

However, as capitalism develops, it is determined that the class by capital is born, and the change is becoming very difficult. The expressions that call for the class by this capitalism are the gold spoon, the silver spoon, and the soil spoon. Recently, it is said that the second generation of entertainer is cast in the main role, because it is the halo of the parent rather than the skill.

This phenomenon is a big problem of capitalism and it will be a great challenge in the present era to overcome the fixation of this class.

There is a word of natural born beauty. It is said to have excellent beauty from birth. On the other hand, it means beautiful from the birth even without having a cosmetic surgery.  It is the word on the opposite point of plastic surgery beauty.

As a plastic surgeon, I really feel the power of the gene. Because the genes of beauty are obviously inherited, luckily, there are people who have natural beauty. A natural born beauty is someone who becomes a beauty by simply taking good genes without any will or effort.

In contrast to the gold spoon theory mentioned above, the natural born beauty is the ‘face gold spoon’.

Socially, it is very critical about the natural gold spoon. But for beauty, people tend to highly appreciate the natural born beauty which is the face gold spoon. On the other hand, there seems to be a feeling of disparaging the person who became pretty by plastic surgery.  It is my personal opinion as we acknowledge a man who has become a wealthy person through the own efforts, we should also admit those who became pretty with their own efforts. 

It would be the plastic surgeons, including myself, who makes the greatest contribution to providing a beautiful life for people who are not natural born beauty.

I am trying to change the face soil spoon to a gold spoon in order to prevent the mimic monopoly of the so called 'face gold spoon'.
