Why Are People Getting Plastic Surgery in Korea? | ft. Amy Chan

Flying to Korea for plastic surgery is everywhere online right now, and I wanted the real story, not the influencer version. Amy Chan is here to spill the tea. Best known as a breakup and relationship coach (her new book UnSingle is changing peoples love lives), she has a second, lesser-known talent: she will research anything into the ground. She's breaking down everything she found before and during her trip to Korea: the difference between a free concierge and a paid one, the ‘Yelp’ for plastic surgery, and an alarming thing called "ghost surgery" that every single person considering this needs to know about before they book a flight. We get into fat grafting, stem cell injections, the treatment nobody's heard of yet that's apparently huge in Korea, and how to actually spot a red flag clinic before it's too late. Sally shares her own filler-gone-wrong story, plus a plastic surgeon dating disaster - because this stuff doesn't just happen overseas. In this episode: Korea's Yelp-for-plastic-surgery app where you can't leave a bad review without risking a lawsuit "Ghost surgery" is a real term and you need to know the risks Am I the Asshole dilemma about a husband who told his wife to get a nose job, and Amy's unfiltered take on it. Sally's own filler horror story: an occluded artery, blurred vision, and an emergency dissolve under ultrasound The free flight/hotel offer that's actually a giant red flag in disguise Show notes: If you ever find yourself with a filler emergency, Sally recommends Dr. Mohammed at Luminous Aesthetics in Los Angeles https://luminousmedaesthetics.com/ - she's the doctor who dissolved Sally's filler under ultrasound and has saved several friends from similar situations.
