Korea turns to plastic surgery to speak English, chop a centimetre or so off your tongue and become a fluent English speaker.
That is the hope that recently drove one mother to take her six-year-old son for surgery aimed at ridding him of his Korean accent when speaking the language of choice in global business. Driven by a desire to give their children an edge in an increasingly competitive society, a number of South Koreans have turned to the knife in a drastic attempt to help their offspring perfect their English. "Those who have a short frenulum [a strap of tissue linking the tongue to the floor of the mouth] can face problems pronouncing some characters due to a disturbance in lateral movements of the tongue," said Bae Jung-ho, an oral surgeon at Seoul’s Yonsei Severance Hospital, who operated on the six-year-old last month. - copyright The Scotsman - Read more of this article: Korea turns to plastic surgery to speak English, chop a centimetre or so off your tongue and become a fluent English speaker. and then find out more about what is appropriate cosmetic surgery operations for children and teens As always you can email Dr. Hudson if you have any questions.

Iranian Men Are Into Plastic Surgery
Another day, another nose job. Dr. Magid Navab performs at least two every working day. Iran's conservative Islamic rulers frown on many indulgences, but plastic surgery is not among them. "The phones are always ringing," said Navab. And more and more, the callers are men. Once they were almost exclusively a feminine option. Now Iran's men are increasingly undergoing nose jobs for the same reasons as their sisters and mothers: vanity and changing priorities in a society shedding the hard-edged values of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Navab, one of Tehran's most prominent cosmetic surgeons, said about 20 percent of his nose job patients are now men. That's about 150 streamlined male profiles a year. - copyright Macon Telegraph/AP - Read more of this article: Iranian Men Are Into Plastic Surgery and then find out more about rhinoplasty or nose job As always you can email Dr. Hudson if you have any questions.
