COMMENTARY

Matsu 5th February 2010	Is this just cosmetic plastic surgery or does it include other surgeries as well, such as reconstruction etc. I'd like to know.
MicK 21st January 2010	I want to ask why Japanese always says most of the Korean have had plastic surgery. Plz stop telling a lie because of the nationalism between two countries. It looks just childish.
JennyTHEGreat 12th January 2010	According to data, chinese do the most plastic surgery operation while Koreans do the least. Just tells how sensitive these chinese are.
jennyTHEGREAT 9th January 2010	Koreans cannot accept the truth. Even in United States, the number of koreans getting plastic surgeries is very high among all asians. They envy other asians' natural beautiful faces at least that is what several koreans told me.
abab 16th November 2009	This material is not accurate at all. This graph quotes the statistical material of ISAPS. ISAPS is a registration system, and the doctor in South Korea is hardly registering. It is a reason for this to look few the ratio of the plastic operation of South Korea.
kara 30th September 2009	I thought Korean is the highest.. haha becasause my japanese friend said Most koreans do plastic surgery.
Danny 3rd September 2009	Its true, chinese/taiwanese LOVE to bash korean/japanese. All the chinese people i know in my area do not like koreans or japanese. Always talking trash about others. Complete scum of asia if you ask me.
123 2nd September 2009	Koyusaki, wow why so bitter? your comments just shows what a low life you are. you r pissed off about other ppl trash talking？ what do you think ur doing？ u r the real scum here.
Koyusaki 11th July 2009	Proves alot. I am a Japanese and I admit that we have alot of retards out there that claim and bash on other countries, especially the Korean people. Not everybody in Japan are like that, even Koreans know that Japan's favorite vacation location is South Korea and together Japan and South Korea can (already are) change and affect the world dramatically. But what pisses me off is when those Chinese scums especially those Taiwanese talk trash about other countries. Seems the chinks exceed by double if not triple.. yet they still look ugly. Proves those "Made In China'' quality applies to people's faces as well..

arri 27th May 2009	아시아 성형국가 순위 1위 홍콩 2위 대만 3위 일본 4위 싱가폴 5위 한국 이건 멍미 ㅋㅋ 한국1등이라며 하여튼 대만 일본넘들 날조국가 답다
mal (new york) 18th February 2009	are these stats number of surgeries conducted in the country? or on the people of the country?
stripes 22nd August 2006	These statistics do not represent the work of every plastic surgeon in each country and this is why it is smaller than the numbers presented by National societies of plastic surgery. For example, in the US there are 6,600 members of ASPS, the National plastic surgery society, and only 189 are ISAPS members; In Brazil there are 4,400 members of the SBCP and only 144 are members of ISAPS. ---ISAPS International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ---
