it was november 2017. when the mexican media

covered strange news, a clinic in pueblo was attacked by several armed men, armed men who wanted to kill one of the patients of the clinic, the victim was none other than notorious criminal known to all as alkalimba. a little later, it became clear that the reason for el calimba's death was settling an old score between criminal groups, but that was not all. there was a still one unanswered question: why did kalimba come to the clinic? ayer le comentábamos de un líder huachicolero conocido como el kalimba. que fue asesinado

en una clínica privada en puebla la que había acudido, dice la fiscalía del estado, hacerse una cirugía plástica para volverse irreconocible, incluso intentó borrarse las huellas dactilares. the truth was that el calimba wanted to imitate his colleagues, people like emado carillo and elchapo, two famous criminals who resorted to plastic surgery escape from the police. karillo died during the operation, but elchapo was more fortunate. he was able to fool the police for several years by changing his facial features. of course, the strange news about these criminals eager for plastic surgery was not a new issue. movies like face off have already depicted such cases.

face off was made in the same year that amado carillo did not survive the surgery, a film that was supposed to narrate the challenges of plastic surgery in the guise of a police story. in the movie, john trovulta and nicholas cage swapped faces. travolto wanted to infiltrate the prison by changing his face, and cage, as murderer, wanted to change his identity forever. the sale of $250 million dollars of this film proved that plastic surgery has become an attractive topic for the audience, issue that took on new dimensions at the beginning. the 21st

century. the figures reported increase in facial plastic surgery, but no one knew the reason. was facial plastic surgery performed only to hide the identity or were there other reasons? south korea has the most cosmetically enhanced people on the planet. the practice of going under the knife is viewed as gateway to better careers and the key to happier life, but the high demand for a plastic appearance is also feeling a dangerous addiction. the answer to this question may lie in the streets of the capital of south korea, in the streets of souls going them district that are

full of plastic surgery advertisements. in fact, the advertisements of this type of surgery seen everywhere. from billboards and city televisions to subway stations. of course, the volume of these advertisements in metro stations is more than anywhere else, a place that hosts the attention of tens of thousands of travelers, those who constantly ask themselves about beauty after seeing these advertisements. some of these advertisements refer to the beautiful face. of famous people, and the other part refers to seasing the opportunity for surgery. in fact, before and after plastic surgery photos and the persuasive sentences are supposed to send the audience to the surgery clinics,

clinics that are found in gangnum more than anywhere else. in south korea, it seems beauty as everything. for women, that means big round eyes, pointed nose, a pleasant smile, a v-shaped chin and slim jaw. and this is what they come to get it. so this is abujan, which is effectively the las vegas strip of plastic surgery, and all the lights behind me here, all these businesses, 95% of these businesses are plastic surgery clinics. and you walk past these clinics and they have lot of advertising in the front windows and there's pictures of the doctors and the doctors are effectively the movie stars of the plastic surgery world, they're the celebrities, the kind of demi-gods. more than 400 plastic surgery clinics are working in

gangnem's improvement quarter alone. the dense density of clinics in this neighborhood shows that a profitable business with unknown dimensions is going on, in the buildings, business that is confirmed by global statistics. more than 4,00 clinics provide cosmetic surgery and so with an estimated 650,00 people per year going under the knife. the majority of plastic surgery patients are women in their late teens and 20s, like an min, a 24-year-old piano teacher from soul. 수술이에요. 저는 저도 처음에는 성형 수술을 꼭 해야 되나 이렇게 생각을 했었었는데 너무 많이들 하다 보니까 뭐 쌍가풀이나 코는 이제 뭐 시술 정도라고 생각을 많이 하잖아요. 그래가지고 그렇게 막 저도 많이 마인드가 많이 바뀐 거

같아요. 생각 자체가 성형 수술 되게 나쁘다고 생각을 많이 했었는데 지금은 다들 하니까. south korea is considered the plastic surgery capital of the world. in terms of the index of the number of plastic surgeons compared to the population, this country has taken the first place by huge margin. some estimates say that between 20 and 30% of women in soul have undergone plastic surgery at least once. other statistics also emphasize that more than 50% of younger. girls in this city have undergone facial surgery. korean men have a 15% share of this staggering market.

oke, sekarang saya sudah. uh, we're gonna start the operation, uh, excited, nervous, of course, but uh, hopefully everything's okay and we have a best result. of course, the desire for plastic surgery does not only include ordinary people. this desire has included people like the former president of. surgeries in this country have a wide range

from forehead and eyelid correction surgery to nose job and v-line surgery. in fact, jaw surgery is a common practice in korea. for this, surgeons cut the lower jaw with a saw to connect the two jaws again according to the patient's order. of course, this practice was first used for congenital diseases, but today it has found another use in korea. koreans often want their faces to look like westerners. in fact, it is the interest in the western faces that draws this industry's clientel to the streets of gangnem. today i'm visiting one of the biggest and most popular plastic surgery clinics in soul. welcome to

10 years old, the grand has recently expanded, opening a 15 story tower with state-of-the-art medical facilities, employing 30 doctors and 400 staff. we were given unprecedented access to the building, or be it closely monitored by a pr team. 좀 음 믿고 신뢰할 수 있도록 어 모든 장비들을 출신식으로 갖추고 있고 그다음에

전문의가 한 30분 정도 계시기 때문에 what would you say is the most popular surgery here? 요즘에는 가슴 성형도 많이 하십니다. 그리고 이제 그 턱 수술도 많이 하십니다. 앵그리나 말라나 뭐 이런 부분도 많이들 요즘에 하고 있습니다. 아무래도 좀 더 이... koreans became familiar with plastic surgery after the korean war, the american occupying forces agreed to give plastic surgery to the victims of the war for free, but a little later this incident... took on other dimensions. a us army plastic surgeon named

david ralph miller changed everything. he suggested a type of surgery to the koreans to fulfill their desire to make their eyes look bigger. this method of surgery became popular very soon to the extent that today the business of plastic surge. depends on it, a profitable surgery which obviously has complex cultural reasons. dr. jungsu, professor of psychology at yanci university, emphasizes that in korea people's appearance is given a higher priority than their personality. social status is more important.

koreans value the evaluation of others more than their own opinion. in the past years, materialistic tendency in korea was limited to houses, cars and home appliances, but today it has spread to every part of the face. a huge number of girls in this country go to beauty clinics a young age to find a job or find a life partner. a person who

doesn't undergo facial surgery is considered ugly and is gradually rejected. by his or her friends, because in korea, the value of each person depends on their beauty, and their beauty depends on surgery, well we enter, we enter up our regular program crossing over the united nations, let's listen to what the honor representative has to say about the situation in gaza, in the world food programs, trucks crossed from chad to sudan via there border crossing, some 205 metric tons of food assistance, that will be um for about 17,00 people, that's the second wfp convoy to cross through this crossing, recently wfp said the food assistance will be delivered to communities across darford and distributions will start as soon as the trucks arrive. additional trucks of wfp food

assistants are being loaded in char to cross into darfort as soon as possible. wfp has enough food for half million people ready to transport to sudan through the audrey crossing. the rome based agency underscores the humanitarian assistant such as food and nutrition supplies, shelter and health items must move quickly and at scale through all border crossings and humanitarian corridors into the hands of communities facing catastrophic levels of hunger. uh, on the other side of sudan, our humanitarian colleagues tell us at the arba at dam, which is about 38 km northwest of port sudan on the red sea state, suffered extensive damage due to heavy rains yesterday. preliminary reports indicate the breach caused extensive damage in 20 villages downstream from the dam. our humanitarian partners and local authorities are assessing the affected areas and we have additional clarity on the extent of the

damage in the coming days. the arbad dam is a crucial facility in port sudan serving as a primary. source of fresh water for the city, the reported damage is expected to have a substantial impact on water supplies to port sudan, worsening the humanitarian situation, and moving to ukraine, matthias schmale, the humanitarian coordinator for ukraine, condemned the massive attack by russian armed forces that took place today, which reportedly caused civilian casualties and damage to civilian energy infrastructure in 15 oblasts around the country. that's what the government of ukraine. telling our colleagues in ukraine, this comes after intense hostilities over the weekend, which reportedly caused 60 civilian casualties, including journalists in the donets, karkiv and sumi regions and resulted in damage and destruction uh of homes and other civilian infrastructure. our humanitarian partners report the residents in these regions continue to flee for safety with mandatory

evacuations announced in several towns. humanitarian organizations responded immediately uh to these attacks across ukraine, distributing emergency supplies, uh, and i was asked about the attacks in pakistan, and i can tell you that the secretary general strongly condemns the attacks that took place on august 26 in pakistan's balushistan's province, which reportedly led to the deaths of at least 39 people. the secretary general stresses. well that was the spokesman for the un chief stefan dujoric uh talking about range of subjects of course starting off with the sudanese situation saying how it is deteriorating and uh also a humanitarian catastrophe then touched up on the russia uh ukraine situation and at the end condemned uh

what took place today in pakistan of course the killing of at least 39 people. in the baluchistan region. well, that's it for that part of the un spokesman uh talks. thanks so much for staying with us, we want to cross back over to a regular programming. finally paid off. it was decided that cosmetic surgery be free for all people, or at least subsidized. like a church. pitange institute was both a place for teaching surgery and a place for operating the... poor, it was for this reason that they chose the title of pope of plastic surgery for him. now 50 years have passed since pitange's efforts and cosmetic. surgery in brazil has found a strange situation. now brazilians can't live without plastic surgery if they want to. doing this

is necessity to find a better job, a spouse and social position, necessity that puts the people of this country in line for cosmetic surgery for months and in some cases years. some statistics say that the government of this country subsidizes half million cosmetic surgeries every year, issue that doesn't exist in any other country. the international society of aesthetic plastic surgery says that in 2013 alone, more than 23 million cosmetic surgeries were performed worldwide, a considerable number that is not limited to south korea and brazil. surgery

media advertisements, cultural issues and fashion may be well-known reasons for the success of cosmetic surgery, but there are other reasons. researchers consider other reasons to be related to human psychy. what they're talking about is a disorder, a disorder called body dism'. morphic disorder or bdd. this disorder has been recognized for nearly a century, but it has only been considered a mental disorder for 30 years. a

person suffering from this disorder considers his body parts abnormal, he is unhappy with his physical features and constantly compares himself with others. the origin of this strange disorder is not well known, but those who were ridiculed or humiliated for their appearance in their youth are more prone to this disorder than others. unofficial statistics say that between 10 and 15% of visitors to beauty clinics are those who suffer from this disorder. we may imagine that cosmetic surgery can be suitable treatment for bd. but that's not true, only 10% of patients with this disorder are fully satisfied after the surgery, but the

remaining 90% will return to the starting point, either new feeling of dissatisfaction forms around the changed organ or it spreads to other parts of the body. researchers advised such people to see psychotherapist, not a plastic surgeon. the first time i said i was fat, i was 3 years old. 14 years later i would go to develop anorexia and nervosa. the body image isn't what we think it is, it's not, it's not the reality. that we we are taught, our reflection in the mirror is a construct or a misconstruct, it's neurological artifice, nowadays, society has

a really messed up view of itself anyway, mean, for example, all it takes is is someone to say they think that they're beautiful and they're hounded by social media being arrogant and vain rather than actually being self-confident or having... high self-esteem, we're almost competitive with our flaws, but at what point does body dissatisfaction become clinical? at what point does body dissatisfaction become body dysmorphia? body dysmorphia is anxiety condition in which patients have a complete fixation on their subjective floor. the the importance of this condition cannot be overstressed because to compensate for this fixation, patients will often self-mutilate or even commit suicide, but what i want to talk about today is that

this isn't something that just affects. medical samples, this is something which should affect every single one of you in this room. fashion activists and influencers are fueling this kind of disorder with their media activity every day. the difference in people's appearance is not important for this industry. they try to determine beauty criteria for the audience. if someone's is close to these criteria, they're beautiful, and if not, they should immediately contact a beauty clinic. of course, the fashion industry has another accomplice in creating this disorder: famous people or celebrities. celebrities are now trying to make their fans look like themselves by presenting a specific appearance. of course, this event has a

relatively long history. for example, american women in the 1950s did not have more than two choices, either they had to resemble the famous actress of those years, that is marilyn monroe, or their social circle was limited. as the six bomb of those years in the united states, monroe was able to achieve legendary fame. of course, she became an actress mostly because of her. appearance: everyone was talking about monrose beauty, but few people knew that this beauty is the product of manipulation and of course the media propaganda.

headlines at press tv, more palestinians are killed in israeli attacks across the gaza strip, the depth tops 40,400. washington keeps fueling the israeli war machine, that's taking more and more in. and civilian lives in the gaza strip and meeting with the katari prime minister in tehran, president peseshiyan slams the west for supporting the gaza genocide. qatar vows to seek a ceasefire.
