Masters Film project on Plastic Surgery in Korea

[Georgie]

Hello!

I am a student in Visual Anthropology studying in Tromsø, Norway. For my masters project in 2027 I am developing an independent documentary film about facial imagery, facial construction/re-construction, cosmetic surgery and how people experience plastic surgery in South Korea.

This is not meant to be a critique of the beauty industry, or a clinic advertisement. I am more interested in peoples experiences with research, scouting for clinics and conversations with friends, family and plastic surgeons when considering modifications to their own face.

I am looking for people who are considering plastic surgery in Korea or have gone through with it who can help me with this project. Any angle is welcome for discussion and a simple chat is not a commitment to being filmed.

If any of this sounds interesting to you I would love to have a chat and share more about the project. If you know anyone else interested, please share this post with them as well, it would be a tremendous help. Leave a comment or send me a DM.

This sounds interesting. Are you targeting any specific region or just anyone from anywhere that are traveling to Korea for plastic surgery?

I think almost everyone on the forum has either gone or is considering it. What kind of information are you looking to gather? I have not heard of anyone doing anything like this before. I might be able to help, not sure.

I am looking into lipo and skin removal.

I lose a lot of weight. So if this is something you would like to hear about, I can keep notes for you during my process.

I have not heard of anyone doing this before for plastic surgery. Sounds neat! I am not sure if I could be of much use for such a thing but I would be happy to give some information and things I have learned about the process thus far. There are others here that have actually traveled to Korea once or more times for work and have had amazing experiences.
