Hello! I'm a 23 year old, Caucasian girl from America. I'm in love with self-improvement. I like some parts of my face and dislike others, and I'm looking to improve the parts I don't like!
I've been doing research for almost a year now. I have a pretty high-paying job, thankfully, but I want to have many consultations and be absolutely sure of what I am doing before I do it. I have found a few decent surgeons in the US for my nose and eyes, and I am definitely going to consult with them, as well as South Korean doctors. It has been my experience in research, though, that America has a mindset of, "Everyone is beautiful, and we're just bringing out your natural beauty!"; it's very hypocritical and makes for mostly sub-par results, as I've seen. I originally discovered South Korea because I have a large, asymmetrical chin, and U.S. surgeons seem utterly baffled by bone contouring.
I'll probably keep a pretty detailed account of my journey either here or elsewhere. I am so glad I found this site, as it seemed so overwhelming to organize everything by myself. My time frame is about a year.
Just a rundown of what I'm seeking:
Eyes: I have either some ptosis or just a difference in the amount of fat of my two upper lids. Need a consultation to know. And seeking either bleph or fat grafting for dark circles.
Nose: Well, rhinoplasty. Although, I'm hoping I can find a doctor who understands that I like my slightly turned up nose, and just want everything slimmed down a bit. I know upturned isn't really the look over there.
Chin/Jaw/Teeth: Might need orthognathic surgery, as I have asymmetry and TMJ. Also seeking some more general cosmetic dental things.
Of course, I have to wait til I'm done with my laser hair removal, but I'm having that done in the US. Contact me if you want to be confused, surgery-seeking friends. :)

Hi Emily! I feel exactly the same way, so it's lovely to meet a fellow confused surgery-seeking individual! I just want rhinoplasty, and like you it's not because I "absolutely hate everything about my nose" but because I like the idea of it being just that little bit better, and enhancing everything else :) Aussies are great (national pride haha) but the cosmetic surgery here is extremely expensive, and I like the idea of visiting a new country for holiday purposes as well as taking advantage of their surgeons' skill set! Good luck, and let us know how your treatments go!

What you want sounds a lot like what I want! My eyes are just a tiny bit uneven and it bothers me even though I don't think it's particularly noticeable. And I don't want a completely different nose, just a better one. How is laser hair removal going? It is something else I want done but . . . well, it's expensive, and I'm a little wary of U.S. practitioners.
Good luck, and keep us posted!

Hey Emily! I'm also from Eastern USA (East Coast to be exact :) ) I've also done research on American surgeons, and the decent ones seem to have sky-high pricing!! (Also, their "Ethnic" rhinoplasty seems mediocre at best.) I want to get mine done in May, and I will let you know what I thought if you ever want details and such!
