Research on documents of cosmetic plastic surgery showed the following results. 1.Golden and silveer ratios were used for cosmetic plastic surgery as beauty standards. 2.The ideal face was a small one with big eyes with double eyelids, a prominent nose, a well-shaped small mouth, and well-shaped eyebrows. Cosmetic plastic surgery was performed in order to repair injuries. 3.The history of cosmetic plastic surgery began in full scale after World War 1. At this time, cosmetic plastic surgery was performed in order to repair soldiers' injuries on their faces and bodies caused by the war. 4.The initial purpose of the performance of cosmetic plastic surgery was for overcoming an inferiority complex. Inmoderndays, however, the popular purposes are for self-satisfaction and getting close to the ideal oneself. 5.The common characteristics of cosmetic plastic surgery were found in four counties surveyed. They were self-satisfaction,a body supported by materials, and evaluation by imaginary people. 6.Cautions with cosmetic plastic surgery included that the image after the surgery should be shared by a doctor, that surgery methods and risks shoud be well understood, and that the information of surgery providers (both the doctor and the hospital) shoud be collected.
