I Need Plastic Surgery/ I'm Korean - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

I need a nose job and a chin implant. I don't know where to find a good surgeon. I'd rather do it in NYC since it's closer, but I want a great surgeon so I'll have no regrets. Is Los Angeles a better choice since that's where all the actors are?
Anyway, I'd like to have it done to improve my life and career. I am 25 years old.
I've also thought about doing the surgery in Korea since they have more experience with Korean faces. I don't know how much this will cost though.
Any insights or advice from anyone? Know of any good surgeons in America that work with Asian/ Korean faces?

Thanks,
Crush

I had nose and chin in my own city in Kentucky. Excellent results. I don't think that necessarily all "the good" surgeons are in the biggest cities. My own surgeon has excellent credentials and does fabulous work, yet he has chosen to practice in the midwest.

Seriously. I've seen some pictures of "stars" with really bad results (Joan Van Ark was so pretty and now she looks like an over-stretched canvas).
Just go on lots of consultations and look at lots of before and after shots, and make sure that your surgeon is isn't hiding anything.

Thanks for the feedback

Right now I'm emailing someone in Korea who will help me out.

To crush, you have made a good choice by contacting someone in Korea. Because in Korea not only do they have alot of practice performing facial cosmetic procedures on asian people, but Asian people in general, have a wide, chubby face. And I have done my research and found that the asian countries are the one that has the highest and I mean the highest Cosmetic Surgeons who does facial cosmetic procedures ESPECIALLY FACIAL LIPOSUCTION procedures. I'm very serious. In anycase, if you haven't found one as yet, you can just do a general search for Asian plastic surgeons, and alot will pop up. I pray the best for you but you are well on the right track by going to Korea.
