Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Facial Bone Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery News

This is probably a one in a million kind of incident to happen, but lately there has been news of a burglar who got away from his misdeeds through a rather peculiar method: Korean plastic surgery. You’d think that only hip and competitive youngsters would opt for surgery in today’s image-conscious Asia, but no! There are burglars who have decided to advance their careers, too! They, too, also desire to perfect their craft! The art of burglary now goes hand In hand with plastic surgery.
Reported by the Korea Herald, this burglar fellow claimed to have gotten surgery because he wanted to feel better about his shortness. So what did he do? Robbed people! A total of 87 incidents during April and December of last year. For most people, jawline surgery or osteogenesis (making bones lengthier) would cost an arm and a leg. Oh, but not this guy because he had all the money in the world to get those surgeries done. From his robberies, he had gained a total of $480,000 worth of goods.

If we look at this lovely chart that shows the average cost of Korean plastic surgery, this guy could’ve done jawline surgery for ninety-six times if he so felt like it!

A BREAKDOWN ON THE SURGERIES THE BURGLAR HAD DONE

Jawline Surgery

It is a favourite among many women and men, and one of the top procedures when it comes to cosmetic surgery trends in 2015 for Asian youth. These are people with completely functional jaws, that may or may not have an overbite or underbite. Because orthognathic surgery corrects overbites and underbites, some people say that getting jawline surgery is more a want than a necessity. Which is true! But then again, like in the burglar’s case, it can also really freshen and shake one’s appearance up.

So how does it work, really? The short answer is that incisions are made where surgeons work very closely to nerves around the neck area. This can be mighty dangerous but necessary if wanting to shave the jawbone. The long answer is outlined in the basics of jawline surgery in Korea.

Osteogenesis Surgery

Now this is mainly done to lengthen the bones, so this was ideal for the burglar who complained of a short stature. It is true that the napoleon complex exists; height is a huge factor in judging attractiveness and how one is perceived in masculinity. It can change how manly or competitive a man could be in the eyes of others. On the other hand, many tall people may complain of their height as this puts a lot of strain on them, causing a myriad of health problems. So osteogenesis surgery can be said to be a necessity for some, a luxury for others and in this peculiar case, it could also be a burglar’s way of hiding his identity.
