My friends keep telling me that Korea is the capital of plastic surgery. Did any of you teachers get/thnk about getting any form of plastic surgery over there? Just curious!

I am getting laser skin resurfacing and laser hair removal for sure. Its so cheap so why not!

For some reason I can't bring myself to go under the knife when it is not medically necessary. I am not going to get some freakin baloons inserted in me to what, boost my self esteem, super lame!!

Just an FYI, there are only 1200 plastic surgeons in SK, many doctors are performing plastic surgery b/c its so lucrative but are not plastic surgeons. Personally, i would not want an anesthetologist performing rhinoplasty on me so be careful.

Smart Lipo is only $1000 here,was considering but I guess I'll just walk my a$$ to the gym even though I really don't want to.

There is a LOT of bad plastic surgery in Korea. I'd tread carefully.

I heard you can get moles lasered off for 5,000 won each. I wanted to do this, but never could find it. Like with finding anything else, you've just got to speak Korean or have a Korean help you.

I want to get some minor scars fixed.

I've thought about liposuction but I'm afraid of ending up like Tara Reid.

Nah. I really dislike the abuse of plastic surgery for people that are just too lazy to exercise or want to look *perfect*. I've survived looking the way I just fine, so...it ain't broke and there ain't no need to fix it.

Just go to Kangnam/Apgujong, can't go wrong there. It's where the beautiful people frolic!

And yes, it's true. Korea is famous for plastic surgery and there are some very good surgeons at that. All my korean girlfriends (those not in Korea too) have gotten at least their eyelids done. It's uncanny.

I might get my boobs done when gravity wins them over.

Hmmm...I wouldn't consider getting any exercise-replacing plastic surgery, either- but now that someone mentioned laser skin resurfacing up above it's got me thinking. That's like microdermabrasion, right? My skin's okay now but I've got a few acne scars left over from when I was a teenager and my skin tone is not always even. If it's really cheap and heals very quickly then I would consider it. Do you need insurance for it to be so cheap? And how much cheaper is it than the US?

I've been on a vain streak with my skincare...

Anybody know of an affordable(Ie: cheap) place to get otoplasty/ear pinning back surgery? Time to end my dumbo ears once and for all!

I'm not so much concerned about quality as it's a easy as hell proceedure.

Trust me...I'm pretty sure everything is working a-okay. Smile
