South Korea
South Korea has one of the world’s
most established medical tourism markets, a large part of which is now
dedicated to its unbelievably popular cosmetic-surgery industry, which has been
inspired by the new “Korean Wave”. In Seoul, in the city’s self-styled “Beauty
Belt” district, over 200 cosmetic-surgery clinics boasting cutting edge
technologies who aspirin Korean actors and actresses with the promise of making
them look like their favorite stars. Having
a procedure undertaken in Seoul reportedly costs only one third of what
it does over in Australia or US.
Blepharoplasty
Also known as double-eyelid surgery,
blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess tissues around the
eyelid are removed or repositioned, and surrounding muscles and tendons are
rearranged according to the patient’s needs or desires.
Skin Lightening

substances in an attempt to lighten skin tone by lessening the concentration of
melanin, this is a common treatment among Asian women.
Spinal Fusion

join two or more vertebrae. Spinal fusion is commonly used to alleviate the
