Although plastic surgery in most asian countries have become popular for procedures such as gender reassignment surgery, mammoplasty, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty, more advanced procedures that involve the cutting of bone should be done at qualified hospitals.
Why South Korea? South Korea is popular among
foreigners for treatment for all cosmetic procedures. A majority of their
facilities are equipped with only the latest technological equipment and while
having many surgeons that are well-known globally in the plastic surgery world.
According to statistics, the demand for plastic surgeons will remain at the
same demand for at least the next 5-10 years, if not longer.
The high demand for plastic
surgery has created a lot of competition
where skilled surgeons are basically celebrities for their craft. This increase
in exposure has travelled well outside of Korea creating an additional plastic surgery
market exclusive to foreigners. One of the most popular procedures in Korea
is Double Jaw surgery or Two-jaw
surgery.
What is Double Jaw / Two-Jaw Surgery? Double Jaw (or Two-Jaw) surgery is a procedure that provides a drastic change in appearance of the face as a significant part of the jaw bone is cut and the overall face structure repositioned. It involves the movement of the upper and lower jaws, including teeth, to create a beautiful and symmetrical look.
The Double Jaw surgery is
considered as one of the most complicated procedures that requires special
skills and years of experience as it is quite dangerous due to the possibility
of damaging the nerve endings of the lower jaw.
Thus, the training of all
plastic surgeons in Korea is an extensive process with rigid selection and regulation of activities
through legislation. And only a small percentage of plastic surgeons are
granted licenses to perform this
procedure. There has been a few cases of
unlicensed doctors performing this surgery resulting in permanent damage to the
patients.
Why REGEN? REGEN is

Operation. The plastic surgery is carried out under
general anesthesia. Depending on the goal and the specific type of
intervention, it takes a different amount of time, but the average is 3 to 4
hours. After the procedure is done, a mask is applied to the face and the
hospitalization usually period takes a couple of days.
Rehabilitation. In the first few days (3-5 days) there may be
a feeling of discomfort or pain, and a bit of swelling. However, everything is
completely gone in about 10 days. On the fourth day patients can do usual
household chores, and a week later - go back to work.
The achieved effect is
noticeable after approximately 6 months. The shape of the face significantly
improves, its contours and size become more proportional.

surgery industry, Seoul has become a Mecca for many medical tourists. Even
though, the attitude towards plastic surgery is ambiguous, one thing still
stays quite obvious, the fashion for plastic surgery in Korea gaining momentum and REGEN is the better place

self-doubt.
