More and more Asian individuals are visiting plastic surgeons’ offices to give them a more “Western” appearance. This is a growing trend that is evidenced in a varying age range. Asian teenagers desire to be more Western looking as do those in their 20s and 30s and those in their middle age.
The most common procedures performed in Seoul which has become the tourist hot spot for Asians wishing to look more American or European includes Denver eyelid surgery, facial contouring and nose reshaping. For some people it goes beyond appearance. There are mothers in Korea that are choosing to have the tongue muscles of their children surgically snipped in order for their pronunciation of the English language to be as superior as possible.
According to Dr. Kim Byung Gun, a surgeon based in Seoul, finding suitable employment and getting ahead in life in general is easier to accomplish if you have an appealing looking face to show the world. Some Asian individuals cite that the primary reason to have plastic surgery procedures on the face is because of the competitive drive that is found in Asia.
While these surgeries are common among Westerners as well, they are slightly less so. Patients in Denver are less likely to want to alter their appearance in this manner and are looking more to improve upon their flaws and to slow the signs of aging. They want to reduce the amount of fat on their bodies and to enhance their features. Plastic surgery in Denver is not so much about looking different but about looking better. Liposuction, tummy tucks, face lifts and breast augmentation are among the most popular cosmetic procedures performed in Denver.
