I think you look handsome and classy. No need for any plastic surgery. The only things that jump out to me right away are your crooked teeth (not terribly bad though). Agree with others about getting braces for straightened teeth. Next, go shopping to get yourself a refined look with different hair style, glasses, and clothing. Last but not least, go upgrade your intellect with additional education and/or enrichment, so that you feel more confident and become more assertive. Confidence and humor are very attractive traits.

 

Total infected is 433 and rising. The dangerous part is that infected people may show no symptoms for days and can transmit virus to others. In addition to high rate of infection, my concern is not being able to find flights back home and then be quarantined for 14 days, if the situation worsens. Last thing I want is being very sick in a hospital in a foreign, non-English speaking country.
Although my trips are not until mid year, I am concerned and am anxiously watching development of situation.

 

For those with travel plan to South Korea for surgery in near future, are you concerned enough to cancel or postpone?

 

Speaking from the perspective of parents, I think you should tell your parents. Reason is that they should know where you will be and what activities you will be doing, in case of emergency and problems. It is your body, and you are an adult, so you can make your own decision. All your parents can do is to give you advice or suggestions. However, age 19 and younger is a bit too young to make an informed decision. Not sure that you understand well the long-term effects and potential danger. I would not like to have an elective surgery in a foreign country with unknown medical laws and safety precautions.
Since the days of YouTube, I have been watching lots of Asian soap operas. I notice that the female and male actors nowadays all look alike, as if they are made from a cookie cutter. All have V-line face and double eyelids. The men, in particular, look more like females than males. Occasionally, I watch a drama from very old days (20-30 years ago). I notice that the ladies had more masculine facial structure; broader and more square outline and sometimes larger cheek bone, and much smaller and flatter chest. None of them had the features which resemble the modern day actors. Now, when I see an Asian lady who has the cookie cutter look, my first impression is unnatural fake, and I wonder how many plastic surgeries she has had, and how many more routine surgeries they will have to maintain the look. Then again, these young people are the ones with successful surgeries. I have not yet heard or seen the ones with botched or undesirable results.
If my daughters had extreme deformities or the surgery were very simple (such as double eyelid or corrective dental), then I guess it is worth the risk for modification to boost self confidence. Otherwise, I would advise them to wait a few more years to do more research to understand the implication and potential danger and to explore best options and safest technologies. Lastly, I would accompany for post surgery care and help fund, so my daughters would not take unnecessary risks with cheap surgeons and facilities. Last thing I want to happen is to have the patient end up brain dead due to incorrect anesthesia.

 

Ditto.
