Abstract
This research shows the states and recognitions of males` aesthetic plastic surgery on the target of males who was performed the surgery and compared characteristics of males who was performed plastic surgery with the characteristics of males who do not want surgery. As increasing males` plastic surgery, we compared the psychological characteristics on the expectation thatmales have distinguished psychological characteristics from those of females. The summary of the result is as follows. First, according to the distinction of sex, male plastic surgery was almost operated one time comparing female plastic surgery(p<.001). Female was almost eye-surgery, male was almost nose-surgery(p.<.001). And males get more abundant information through internet than aids of friends(p<.05). Males were satisfied with their results(p<.05). Males were ashamed of their surgery comparing females(p<.001). And percentage of males concerning that it might be addicted to plastic surgery was much more than that of females(p<.001). Second, the males` surgery to verify whether it might be looked at the psychological characteristic differences among the Body-image, Body Dysmorphic Questionnaire, Self-Esteem, Private Self-Consciousness did not show a meaningful difference. However, in the case of Physical Attractiveness Perceptive Scale, males who performed the surgery scored 3.39 points higher than 2.65 points which males did not perform the surgery scored(p<.001). In other words, we can know that Physical Attractiveness was higher at males who performed the surgery than males who did not perform the surgery. So it can be thought that body-attraction and appearance are very important. In the case of Public Self-Consciousness, males who performed the surgery scored 3.36 points higher than 2.59 points which males did not perform the surgery scored(p<.001). Third, according to the distinction of sex, the plastic surgery to verify whether it might be looked at the psychological characteristic differences is like that in the case of Body-image, females who performed the surgery scored 3.01 points higher than 2.87 points which males performed the surgery scored. Statistically it showed a meaningful difference(p<.05). In the case of Body Dysmorphic, females who performed the surgery scored 3.00 points higher than 2.78 points which males performed the surgery scored(p<.001). In other words, we can know that Body Dysmorphic Questionnaire was higher at females who performed the surgery than males who performed the surgery.
