Cosmetic surgery is a commonplace in South Korea. According to a survey, about 62% of twentysomething women in Korea have ever undergone plastic surgery. Even the Korean President Roh Moo-hyn has ever undergone double eyelid surgery. In South Korea, plastic surgery has beceom another fashion assory for men and women. Appearance is promoted to an unprecedented high importance. To some people, plastic surgery is the shortcut to success. A new “lookism” prevails in South Korea. Do you identify with plastic surgery? Will you undergo plastic surgery if you are rich enough to afford it ?

I have natural double eyelids but it wasn't a big deal from where I'm from because almost everyone has them.

I never considered plastic surgery. I don't think it's going to help me in anyway. Yea, I am that hopeless. O_o

However, if people want to have it, that is their life and their money. Yup. South Korea is plastic surgery capital of the world. Heard at lot of them are concentrated at Apgujeong in Seoul. It is said that almost all of the Korean celebrities you see on TV had been under the knife at least once.

Sometime people would get some curse which they never expect to have. However in your case, you got your jaws damaged that is genetic or you can say that this could happen due to heredity. the only available option for you is to go under the cosmetic surgery, because it can bless you amazingly and can gives you freedom from all your curse.

so i say that cosmetic surgery is not that bad, it just how you see it.
