Getting reconstructive surgery done can be a very stressful task. That’s probably why you are here – doing your research!

A glance through recent plastic surgery statistics, and you’ll find that South Korea ranks first among the top 5 countries to have gotten the most cosmetic surgery. Still, with South Korea plastic surgery, there are hundreds of cosmetic surgery clinics in Gangnam-gu alone. So, which to choose and among those clinics, which surgeon is the best for your individual needs? How can you ensure that this will be the best plastic surgery in Korea that you'll ever experience?

 

 

Shaping the Uniquely Asian Form

First things first, for Asians, you may wish to read up on the 3 reasons why you’ll want an Asian plastic surgeon. Common features found in the oriental face and body include eyes without an upper eyelid crease, a less defined nose, smaller breasts and shorter stature.

All these affect the type of procedure you’ll be wanting to get, and how it is done. To illustrate this point, take breast augmentation for example – some Asian patients have complained that their entire body looked unbalanced and scarring became evident after breast augmentation. These complications and undesirable results can be avoided under the trained hands of a surgeon specialized in shaping Asian forms.

Certification Will Save You Time and Trouble

The next crucial point: Lately, the customs officials have become stricter in their approach, refusing to let people who are traveling home after surgery, to pass. Why? Thanks to the surgery work! They look nothing alike in their pre-surgery passport photos. This is why, now, people traveling home afterwards need certificates to prove who they are – and you might want to keep this in mind especially if you are coming from China or Japan.

Research, research and research

Life is a never-ending process of learning. Sometimes, it takes a bit of trial and error for us to get things right. No one gets it right the first time, but in the case of getting cosmetic surgery – getting things right the first time is of utmost importance. The best way to ensure no botched jobs is to do your research and consult reputable and reliable sources of information should you require further help! Never be afraid to ask.
