I'm Asian and I have a square/flat face. I'm planning to go to Korea to get "facial contour" surgery which is basically jaw and cheekbone reduction. Its very popular in Asia. Jaw reduction involves: -Shaving the bone with a burr -Excising wedge shaped pieces of bone from the jaw and chin -A sagittal splitting osteotomy -Intraoral incision all the way around the inside of the mouth (no scar) Cheekbone reduction involves: -Breaking the zygoma at the body and arch, moving it backwards and inwards, and fixing it with wires or screws. -Also shaving of the bone to smooth it down -Intraoral incision (no scar) and a small external incision in front of the ears The surgery is done under general anesthesia by a plastic surgeon. It takes about 2 hours and costs $15k ($20k incl. air tickets, hotel and expenses). I'm a bit worried about the safety and side effects of the surgery. 1) Is there a possibility of permanent nerve damage? What are the consequences if this does happen? Paralysis / loss of sensation, etc? 2) Are there any other serious risks? I know of bone infection, arterial bleeding, etc.... What are the chances? 3) Also I'm worried about the side effects. I read that sometimes people who get the surgery look older because their skin gets "saggy" without bone support. Will this happen to me? 4) Should I get the surgery done in Korea or America? There is a surgeon who offers this surgery in America but he doesn't have much experience because there's no demand for it here. vs. Korea where the surgeons perform 10-15 surgeries of this type every month. The other problem is I don't speak Korean and the doctors don't speak English so I don't want to get lost in translation. 5) Do you think a plastic surgeon is qualified enough for this type of surgery? Will a craniofacial surgeon/orthopedic surgeon be a better option? Sorry I know thats a lot of questions. Thank you for taking the time to read my question and Thank you so much if you decide to answer it.. I will appreciate it so much :)

I know nothing about health or surgery, but im sure its not about where its done, its about the hospital, the team, and most importantly the doctor. Usually they get recommended by word of mouth, a bad surgery can be a life long nightmare, so even so, just do it if you think its absolutely necessary. This is a job for a plastic surgeon if he has done it many many times before, a craniofacial surgeon seems to be involved to restore functionality and repair, not for enhancing looks.

I'm Korean-American. Trouble's brewing Korea right now, and while Kim Jong Il is famous for making empty threats, I'm worried he may be crazy enough to try something stupid. Most of my family live in Seoul, as do many of my friends. In case war breaks out (or resumes, since it never ended), I'd like to be able to enlist (preferably as a Navy Corpsman or something similar- I have medical training. I won't be against going into whatever branch accepts me). I have hearing loss in the right ear however. I've been living with it for the past twenty-one years, and it does not impact my day-to-day living. Is there any way the US military can waive my hearing loss? Is there any sort of surgery out there that can correct mild hearing loss? A way to fool audiometers used at MEPS? Barring all that, what sort of ways can a civilian EMT help out? Are civilian personnel stationed in foreign posts often? Sorry about the wall of text.

Depending on your job you may find a waiver. Also, go talk to a recruiter and go to MEPS. Then you'll know for sure whether your hearing DQs you or not.

"During the riots many Koreans from throughout the area rushed to Koreatown, heeding a call put out on Korean-language radio stations for volunteer security guards. Two of the most iconic and controversial television images of the violence was a scene of two Korean merchants firing pistols repeatedly from a military stance, and Korean guards firing AR15s from store rooftops. There was a lot of activity to protect the Korean businesses, especially in Korea-town. Many Koreans had weapons, including but not limited to: shotguns, AR15s, semi-automatic AK47 style rifles and semi-automatic Uzis. The Korean American community, seeing the police force's abandonment of Koreatown, organized armed security teams composed of store workers, who defended their livelihoods from assault by the mob. Open gun battles were televised as Korean shopkeepers were forced to shoot at the mob to protect their businesses, and most likely their lives, from crowds of violent looters" "At the same intersection, just minutes after Denny was rescued, another beating was captured on video tape. Fidel Lopez, a self-employed construction worker and Guatemalan immigrant, was ripped from his truck and robbed of nearly $2,000. Damian Williams smashed his forehead open with a car stereo as another rioter attempted to slice his ear off. After Lopez lost consciousness, the crowd spray painted his chest, torso and genitals black. Rev. Bennie Newton, an African-American minister who ran an inner-city ministry for troubled youth, prevented others from beating Lopez by placing himself between Lopez and his attackers and shouting "Kill him and you have to kill me, too". He was also instrumental in helping Lopez get medical aid by taking him to the hospital. Lopez survived the attack, undergoing extensive surgery to reattach his partially s
