​@@Swizzenatorthe results requite healing, which could take weeks or months, and even some follow-up surgery. I would assume that they have had pre-consultation and lab work done beforehand.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

I understand the confusion. This is the second or third consultation for the patients who get treated right afterwards. There is a lot that isn't shown. Patients need to do scans, blood work, test like blood pressure as well. And then clean their face and mouth with specific pre-surgery cleansers. They also are not allowed to eat or drink anything before surgery. If the blood work reveals that you have low iron levels they will cancel everything and they will reschedule for 3 months later which gives you time to get your blood iron up.

[@yooein]

obviously do read up on this more.... BUT a big advantage of fat repositioning is that the chance of a foreign body reaction is next to none. also all these hyaluronic acid fillers are supposed to dissolve throughout time by themselves, but recent research shows that it's often simply not the case, that the HA filler just migrates further into muscles etc. that's also why it's brilliant that he's using ear cartilage as a nose filler, too, the foreign body reaction is incomparably less likely compared to using foreign materials like many doctors do. even if the bioacceptability of a material is high, using tissue from our own body still remains the safest by far. foreign body reactions suck.

[@mhdfrb9971]

Plastic surgery is a metaphor for our obsession with external appearances. We live in a society that values superficial beauty over substance. It's all about the packaging, not what's inside. Do we really need to alter our bodies to feel good about ourselves? Isn't it better to focus on inner growth, on becoming better human beings instead of just looking good? We should be challenging societal norms and unrealistic beauty standards instead of conforming to them. Plastic surgery perpetuates this cycle and distracts us from addressing the deeper issues. Real beauty lies in embracing our imperfections and being authentic. We don't need to chase after an unrealistic ideal. Let's focus on what truly matters: kindness, intelligence, and compassion.

It's not that simple. What we think about ourselves doesn't change the fact that we live in such a society.

I think what you are doing is noble! You help people with their confidence and insecurities! You help people who have had accidents or injury! And give them quality of life! Keep doing these great deeds!

Great great video. As a person who would love to have a minor plastic surgery I appreciate the content and information in this video!

The best students in South Korea do not go to Samsung, but become medical doctors. S. Korea is actually world-class in several fields of medicine, and among them, facial plastic surgery has the world's overwhelmingly No. 1 technology and reliability.

[@lotussong1]

This plastic surgeon seems like one of the good doctors. However, it doesn’t change the fact that there are some plastic surgeons in this world who are greedy and have no conscience. Not to mention, many people end up with botched surgeries. I’m not saying these things to be mean, but unfortunately it’s often a reality. Personally, I don’t care if you get plastic surgery or not. It’s your body and money. Just do your research, weigh the pros and cons, and be willing to accept the outcome.

[@malkov0001]

Dr Jung is really good. His office/practice occupies an entire floor of a big building in Gangnam - the most expensive suburb in Seoul. The set-up is more professional than the surgeons I've met in Sydney, Australia. I also recommend Seoul Medical Guide as your medical agent because most Korean places don't speak English and they oversee every consultation and procedure!

I always feel like these drs are better than those in my country XD I never had plastic surgery or anything, but when I see for example k pop stars and there before and afters... it always looks so good

[@emmo00x]

I have very little knowledge when it comes to plastic surgery, so I always thought these surgeries would take alot of time to prepare, but they just chose what they wanted and got the operation done in the same day lol. Dont know why but this is a bit of a shocker to me, changing your body so fast and seemingly without much issue.

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

I even once heard in an interview with a plastic surgeon that they should discourage the person of actually getting the procedure and even make sure the person is emotionally stable. It's been a long time so I might be wrong or outdated.

[@rhythmandacoustics]

Depends on what the surgery is.

[@davidsalterego4481]

It’s not fast. The guy said they do a lot of the preparation beforehand so that the in-person consultation with the doctor is more like a formality before the actual procedure

[@emmo00x]

@@davidsalterego4481 Makes sense.

[@ex0duzz]

Prep work or not, its like the first time they see the doctor, they decide on permanent stuff after few minutes of explanation and then into surgery minutes later. If it was just a formality, they would not need to be explained all that stuff or decide what size or shape etc. how can you make such a permanent life altering decision on the same day, let alone in minutes? Most people take longer to pick out clothing then they do to pick what implant size or procedure they want.

[@corgisrule21]

Strange to go in and hear someone say “I don’t care if it looks natural” 😅 I worked for an amazing facial plastic surgeon and he would flat out refuse to do a procedure if it wasn’t going to look natural. “Their face is my resume so why would I want it to look less than perfect?” 🤷🏻‍♀️ The man had a point.

IMO, I don't mind people doing it as long it is not life threatening, and you have money for it. People buy make up, go to gym, etc just to look good.

Muy interesante, en mi país no es factible realizar ese tipo de cirugías en consultorios, solo se realizan en hospitales y por parte de cirujanos plásticos, además implica análisis previos para constatar la salud del paciente, su reacción en quirófano y su posterior recuperación.

[@zenabubawah3708]

[@itssoaztek4592]

Well made video. Much appreciated. I like that it supports the idea that it is a completely normal thing to have plastic surgery. Without any stigma or prejudice. That's how it should be in a free society. However, I do not like how "feeling insecure" is so strongly being promoted as being THE most common (and, by implication, "valid") reason to undergo plastic surgery. If somebody is really insecure about such minor details such as a typical and completely normal asian nose shape or slightly asymmetric breasts, would that person be willing to show up in a video accessible to millions of viewers in the whole world? I don't think so. And, hence, I do not think it was the main reason for plastic surgery of those people shown in the video. It's perfectly OK to have plastic surgery if you absolutely want to. But be honest with yourself and don't pretend to do it because you are supposedly suffering so much from "feeling insecure". This false standard of "feeling insecure" as a "valid" reason for plastic surgery is very harmful to many young people. Practically everybody has a phase of being insecure in teenage years or as a young adult. That's normal and should not be misunderstood as a reason to look for plastic surgery.

[@periloushomous]

Top content, Asian Boss!

[@alanbgtan]

The practice in Korea is so so different from Australia. In Australia, you can tell the GP & the GP sends a referral to the plastic surgeon (PS) which you’ll see 4 weeks later. Seeing the PS, he will look at you & tell you the pros & cons & thinks abt it. Weeks later you ring you wish to proceed & you return to PS & he’ll draw lines to illustrative purposes. To proceed you ring to book probably 6 to 8 weeks ahead. All up it may take 6 months. So that’s why the PS here are rich & takes a protracted period before starting

[@theShadeslayer]

On one hand, I'm happy that people who struggle with their self image are able to take away the things that consistently bother them. On the other hand, doing a surgery like this feels like accepting that you're deficient just because your body looks the way it does. I'd be curious to see what this does for someone's mental health in the long term.

[@sepg5084]

It's not about accepting that they are deficient. It is about understanding that nothing is perfect, and knowing what you want for yourself. I know i am not the best looking person, nor am i the best looking version of myself. But i don't want to deal with the hassle, cost, and risk of plastic surgery so i won't have it. I don't hate myself for it. If people want to do it for themselves, nothing bad about that. Physically or mentally.
