This study aims to examine critically how the Korean newspapers have provided cosmetic surgery informations since 1970s, focusing on whether the dangers of specific cosmetic surgeries have been intentionally reduced and hided. For this, 223 articles of 5 regular medical columns are analyzed. Since 1970s plastic surgeons started exerting their authority as medical specialists in the public press, providing more informations about reconstructive plastic surgeries than cosmetic ones, and emphasizing cosmetic surgeries" side effects rather than their beauty effects. Since 1990s, however, the situations were reversed, then the project of medicalising the beauty has got momentum, consequently informations about detailed conditions of the perfect beauty and new cosmetic surgeries trends have overflowed in Korea. Under the situation, actual incidents and possible dangers relating the surgeries have become silenced or vague. There are only two contexts in which the problems of specific cosmetic surgeries are leaked: firstly, in order to promote relative supremacy of the new surgery technique, side effects of the previous one are revealed as fatal faults; secondly, personnel accidents temporarily make risk informations mentioned. These findings imply that Korean women are not sufficiently informed of health risks of cosmetic surgeries in the society which beauty benefits are constantly overemphasized by the cosmetic industry and press.
