I work in the medical field and from personal experience i'd be very hesitant to get plastic surgery done in my home country (in SEA). The laws aren't that strict and most of the doctors performing cosmetic procedures here are not even certified plastic surgeons, so i'd rather take my chances in korea. Plus everyone gets plastic surgery in korea so the volume of cases are likely higher, which means the doctor would have more experience. I'm not saying that korea is definitely better, but at least i can spot a dodgy clinic when i see one.
