A few fillings, polish and scaling, oh, and while you're there, Why not REARRANGE YOUR TONGUE?

After reading - "My eyes! Is this actually happening?!"

What kind of mad person justifies this kind of treatment?! There's no such thing as a "Korean shaped tongue" and "waygook tongue"

This is kind of old news. I've heard about people doing this to their kids ten years ago. I'm surprised there are doctors who still do this. Lesson: don't trust doctors.

it was also fashionable a while back to get surgery on your face to stop the capillaries working in a way, so that you wouldnt blush. it was seen as a sign of weakness in a buisness situation. wonder if that still goes on? I
remember meeting someone in jangyu once ( y know who you are) when i first arrived who actually believed, that all koreas got surgery when they were teenagers so that they wouldnt sweat. i really hoped that he was only joking and didnt believe that...
