Plastic surgery after the CSAT: timing and how to prepare

Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.

“Plastic surgery after the CSAT”... Are you searching for it right now too? Once the CSAT is over, isn’t the first thought that comes to mind, “Now I can finally take care of myself and look my best”? Until now, you probably had no time to think about your appearance, and every time you looked in the mirror, you just kept telling yourself, “I’ll do it after the CSAT...”

At last, the first golden period in your life to truly invest in your appearance has arrived. Winter vacation is a good time for exam takers to have surgery. Because the weather is cold, swelling is easier to manage, and wearing a mask feels natural, so swelling right after surgery is easier to hide. With no school schedule, you can also rest comfortably and focus on recovery without the pressure of a busy schedule, which is another major advantage.

At clinics, reservations for exam-taker programs such as double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and skin care tend to increase from mid-November.

If you have a preferred schedule or doctor, please let us know in advance when you book your consultation.

Important points that underage exam takers must know

Most exam takers are still minors. Therefore, to proceed with “plastic surgery after the CSAT,” parental consent is required. Clinics usually request

1. A copy of a parent’s ID

2. Family relationship certificate

3. Parental consent form

These three documents are required.

Recently, consultation systems specifically for exam-taker surgery have become well established, so in many cases the process can be completed through phone confirmation or written consent even if a parent does not visit with you.

More important than a low price is whether a board-certified specialist performs the surgery directly and whether postoperative care is systematic. Since exam-taker surgery is an important time that can change the first impression of the face, it is most important to discuss it thoroughly with your parents and choose a clinic.

Top 3 popular procedures after the CSAT: eyes, nose, and skin

The core of the most popular “plastic surgery after the CSAT” among exam takers comes down to three areas: eyes, nose, and skin treatments.

1. Eye surgery double eyelids and epicanthoplasty/lateral canthoplasty

This is the most popular surgery among exam takers. Natural adhesion double eyelid surgery involves relatively little swelling and recovery burden,

and a softer first impression can be expected from a natural eyelid line. In particular, it leaves good time to recover before graduation season, when many photos are taken, and before university freshman orientation.

2. Rhinoplasty

The nose is the center of the face and an important feature that determines facial proportions. Refining the nasal bridge line can make your impression look different. These days, the trend is a natural and refined nose line rather than excessive height.

3. Skin treatments acne and lifting

Many exam takers develop breakouts or experience a loss of facial contour due to fatigue accumulated over a long exam period. In such cases, improving pores and skin condition with skin treatments can help your impression look neater after surgery.

When do exam takers usually plan surgery?

Many exam takers plan surgery for the period from immediately after the CSAT until the start of winter vacation, from December to early January. During this period, there is no school schedule, and wearing a mask is natural, so swelling or bruising is less noticeable, making it a good time for recovery.

Recovery care tips?

  • Cold compresses for the first 48 hours: They help ease bruising and swelling.
  • Cut down on sodium: Salty food makes swelling last longer.
  • Drink plenty of water: It can help with recovery.
  • No sleeping face down: This prevents swelling and changes to the line.
  • Sunscreen is a must: Your skin needs protection even in winter.

Plastic surgery after the CSAT involves a relatively light recovery burden, but you should avoid washing your face and wearing makeup for about two weeks after surgery. Therefore, it is best to proceed early in winter vacation when your schedule is more flexible.
