[더데일리뉴스] The 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) is just around the corner. Students who are about to take the CSAT may feel nervous before the big test, but they are also excited about making the most of the four months of rest time given after the exam.
There are many test takers who want to use the free time given before entering college for self-management. You may plan to study a foreign language for self-improvement or focus on taking care of your appearance to change your image before meeting new people. In particular, many people plan to diet or undergo plastic surgery to improve their appearance.
As the saying goes, ‘diet is the best plastic surgery,’ having a slim body has a huge impact on forming one’s image. If your goal is to lose weight through diet, you should combine diet and exercise. If you use extreme dietary control such as raw food diet or starvation to lose weight quickly, there is a high chance of experiencing a yo-yo effect.
Women should focus on a balanced diet containing three nutrients: carbohydrates, fat, and protein, and reduce snacks. You can have a solid body by combining strength training with aerobic exercise, which helps burn body fat. Men can increase their physique by eating a protein-centered diet and increasing the proportion of strength training.
One of the most common challenges along with dieting is plastic surgery. Some people simply want to look better on the outside, but there are also many who want to regain confidence by improving their complexes.
There are differences in plastic surgery preferences for women and men. For women, visually large eyes and white skin are symbols of beauty, so there is a high demand for double eyelid surgery to enlarge the eyes. There are two types of double eyelid surgery methods: incision method and burial method, and the decision must be made considering eyelid thickness, eye shape, etc. For those with thin eyelid skin and little eye fat, the double burial method is appropriate, and for those with thick eyelid skin, the incision method is appropriate.
You must also choose a double eyelid line. If you want a natural line, inline or semi-outline are good, but if you want a fancy look, you can consider outline. Rather than blindly chasing trends, choosing a line that best matches the individual’s facial proportions will increase satisfaction. Depending on the individual eye shape, surgeries such as canthoplasty, ptosis, and fat relocation under the eyes can be performed simultaneously.
For men, rhinoplasty is often performed, which plays a major role in completing distinct facial features. This is because a clear T-zone can give a manly image. Since each person’s face size and skin thickness are different, you should choose the nose tip shape and line that best matches your face. If you want to give a strong impression, a straight nose line is good, and it is better to have surgery to adjust the length and height while preserving the three-dimensional effect. In the case of a hooked nose or a curved nose, surgery should be performed to improve the functional aspects after checking the internal structure.
Lee Yoo-jeong, director of Banobagi Plastic Surgery, said, “After the CSAT, it is easy to be tempted by various discount events for test takers. When deciding on a hospital, rather than focusing on low prices as the number one priority, check out whether a specialist is on-site, follow-up program, etc. must be carefully considered. “If you decide to have plastic surgery hastily, you may get unsatisfactory results, so a cautious approach is needed,” he advised.
