A South Korean woman has been accused of 'ruining her face' after 'before' and 'after' shots of her plastic surgery procedure spread online. The unnamed woman, allegedly a reporter on a South Korean TV channel, has undergone jaw surgery in order to achieve the dainty heart-shaped face desired by many east Asian women. The result of the procedure is an unusually pointed chin, and the reactions on a Japanese online forum did not hold back.
Before and after: The South Korean woman looks drastically different after undergoing plastic surgery
One user wrote: 'Someone please tell me this was Photoshopped!' while another quipped that 'it looks like you could plow a field with that chin,' RocketNews24 reports. Another asked: 'Is it really possible to taper someone’s chin that much? 'She really doesn’t know what true beauty is.' South Korea is the world's largest market for plastic surgery, with one in five Seoul women having gone under the knife. The most popular surgical procedures include double eyelid surgery - which reduces excess skin in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear bigger, lipoplasty - which uses high-frequency sound waves to eliminate fat - and nose jobs.

Drastic move: The woman is compared to a goblet in a photograph uploaded to a Japanese online forum
While on the nonsurgical front, Botox and laser hair removal remain firm favourites, a 2012 report said. It appears the woman in these pictures have undergone drastic jaw surgery, a high-risk operation which involves re-aligning the jaw and shaving off parts of the bone to create a 'heart shape'. It is usually a last resort solution to correct facial deformities where people have been unable to chew properly due to an excessive over or underbite, but has become popular in South Korea. A small face with a 'V-shaped' chin and jawline is considered a mark of feminine beauty in much of East Asia, along with a high-bridged nose and big eyes.
The ideal: Many surgery-obsessed East Asian women strive to achieve the look of anime characters such as Sailor Moon, with a heart-shaped face and big eyes
Kathy, 38, from Mount Hagen in Papua New Guinea was tortured
Two days of beatings and burnings killed her unborn child
Mother-of-six now lives in fear of her attackers who are still at large
99 per cent of Mount Hagen women have suffered violence of some sort
According to locals, women there are worth less than pigs
With just two months to go before the birth of her seventh child, Kathy, 38, from Mount Hagen in Papua New Guinea, was looking forward to welcoming her new baby into the world. But tragically, the moment would never arrive. Instead, after a harrowing two day ordeal which saw her repeatedly beaten and raped with an iron bar, Kathy's baby was dead. Why? Because her family and neighbours believed - wrongly - that she was a witch.
Endemic: A woman suspected of being a witch is burned alive after being gang raped in Mount Hagen
Kathy's Mount Hagen homeland is the capital of Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands, a place notorious for tribal violence, a ruthlessly applied system of 'payback' and dangerously high levels of drink and drugs.
It is also one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman, with a shocking 99 per cent of women thought to have suffered violence of some sort at some point in their lives. Women are, according to locals, worth less than pigs, while many more fall victim to the same sort of superstitious belief as Kathy. In Mount Hagen, women suspected of being witches can be stoned, burned alive or even burned at the stake. Kathy was at a family funeral when the phone call that would change her life forever was patched through.
Upsetting: Kathy's story is all too common in Papua New Guinea where violence against women is endemic
Prisoners: Ross Kemp talks to some of the men incarcerated in Port Moresby. Many of the men are rapists
'There was a phone call and the person on the phone said: "This dead person, whose funeral you've just had, she's the one who ate his heart",' she remembers. 'That's why they took me and tied my hands up with barbed wire.' At the time, she was seven months pregnant but even that wasn't enough to save her from what followed. 'I was strapped up with barbed wire,' she recalls. 'Then they dragged me to the house and locked me inside. 'They took my blouse, put a bush knife through my blouse, my skirt and my tights, took them off and threw them aside. One of them pulled my leg, one of them pulled the other and one man pushed my head back, and I stayed like that. I didn't do anything and I didn't move.' Already bleeding from the cruel barbed wire and in terror for her life, Kathy hoped that by doing nothing, the men might be persuaded to leave her alone. But worse was to come. 'One of them split some firewood and made a fire outside,' she says. 'They heated up iron rods, spades and bush knives and when they were really hot, they came in and put them on my skin. 'They damaged all my skin. They pushed an iron into my vagina. They tortured me for two days,' she continues. 'Five times they pushed the rod into my vagina. The things they did to me... They destroyed me. My vagina is still very sore. They shoved iron rods inside me. It's totally destroyed my rectum and my vagina.' And Kathy's story is by no means unique, as Ross Kemp, points out in the newest series of Extreme World. Papua New Guinea is home to endemic violence, fuelled by the tribal 'payback' system and made worse by illegal moonshine, drugs and poverty. It's capital, Port Moresby, was recently declared one of the worst cities to live in on the planet by the Economist Intelligence Unit, with only Syria's war-torn capital Damascus and Bangladeshi capital Dhaka deemed worse. One of the woman to brave the city is Esther Igo of Women Arise Papua New Guinea, who in an interview with Kemp, declared that violence has gone 'beyond epidemic levels.' 'Every day there is a death, there is a rape, there is a killing, there is a murder, there is some sort of violence,' she explained. 'It's like the whole system, the social structure is breaking down. It's broken. It's all broken.'
History: Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia in the 1970s and is part of the Commonwealth
Tribes: The country has more than hundreds of different groups while 800 different languages are spoken
For many, Kathy among them, the damage is already beyond repair. Her baby, just months from being born, was killed during the brutal attack while Kathy herself is scarred for life and lives in fear of the men who beat her. 'I was crying and I couldn't stop,' she says of the experience. 'The pain was so severe, my baby died and I wanted to die. 'I said: "Don't damage me anymore" but they wouldn't listen. So I asked them to cut my head off so I could go to Heaven and not feel the pain anymore.'

BERLIN (AP) — A herd of dairy cows nearly lifted the roof off their barn in central Germany when methane released by the animals caused an explosion.
Police in Hesse state said in a statement that a static electric charge apparently triggered the detonation, and a spurt of flame, on Monday at a farm in Rasdorf. The roof was slightly damaged and one cow suffered light burns. No people were hurt.
Police say 90 cows are kept in the shed and it wasn't clear why quantities of methane had built up. Bovine belching and flatulence releases large quantities of the gas.
OMG! Stinkers!!
A British woman jumped naked from the roof of a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's clinic after a facelift

A naked woman who jumped to her death from the roof of a Beverly Hills plastic surgery clinic is a British socialite who used to work for Royal jewellers Asprey.
Police spent three hours trying to talk Sandra D’Auriol down from the 15-storey building as she sat with her legs dangling over a ledge last Wednesday.
The 53-year-old mum reportedly had facelift surgery with Brian Novack, a high-priced plastic surgeon to stars such as Demi Moore, last Tuesday just hours before the tragedy.
She was kept overnight in the Camden Medical Arts building in Los Angeles, California, and woke up feeling “agitated and aggressive”.
Medics believes it could have been due to a bad reaction to her anaesthetic.
Avi Rai, a former colleague at the Child Welfare Scheme in Hong Kong where Mrs D’Auriol was a director, confirmed her death.
He said: “It was a tragic incident. It has been a very difficult time for her family. She was British and married with two children.”
According to police and the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, Mrs D’Auriol ventured to the top of the CMA building at around 7am last Wednesday.
An eyewitness said: “She sat on the ledge naked, then got up and walked around the edge of the building as if on a tightrope. She sat down again before getting up and jumping off.”
The mum-of-two was married to Yan D’Auriol, a former L’Oreal executive who runs a cosmetics business from Hong Kong where they lived.
She was known for making bespoke one-of-a-kind jewellery and worked tirelessly for several charities and often donated profits from her business to causes that benefited women, children and the environment.
The tragedy is the second to hit Mr D’Auriol, who set up a tennis scholarship in memory of his 12-year-old son, Teo, who drowned in a swimming pool in Bali in 2004.
On the Child Welfare Scheme website Mrs D’Auriol’s biography says “she has been involved with CWS since 1999 and despite being a wonderful and busy mother, wife and friend, she always has plenty of time to help anyone in need.”
She is listed in Hong Kong Tatler’s list of top 500 people.
Beverly Hills police are investigating the incident.
