This even surprised me. I thought the U.S. was No.1 for sure with western European countries a close second. One reason, I read, why Koreans do so much c.s. is because they believe that you have to have the right face to be successful. I believe that is true to a point. Not universally, but there are certain features that are associated with sucess in men and women esp. these days when the face also represents the corporate image.

Thoughts?

I thought Russia would top the list because they're so obsessed with their look. Hey! Where's the UAE? wink

Hi Scuba,

Let me ask if I am understanding you correctly please. Are you saying that in CS that they suggest that certain skin and even facial types produce better results? And if that is correct then do you think maybe that is the reasoning that South Korea is as high up and the ones that follow? Forgive me if I am getting it wrong I am having a "off" day it seems.

ok,,I see. thanks for that clarity, I do actually remember a conversation with a woman in another Asian country about some of the "personal" feelings that I was not aware of on how certain "attributes" are sought out and even changed, though we were speaking of salons it still goes along with what you are saying, thanks again.

I see Balles cleared it up (Thanks Balles!).

The point of my post is the notion that cosmetic surgery is now seen as something to consider if you want to be successful in the corporate world. We're one step beyond merely being good looking for social success/appeal, but for professional success as well. Interesting development.

I doubt that the cosmetic surgery would be enough in my case. I think I am simply doomed to walk the streets after the bright sun goes down.

Scubadiva: I heard they have some very good plastic surgeons in Belgrade. Most people who go for facelifts are old, otherwise they wouldn't bother, so I'm sure that you'd have no problem. What size are you going for? tiple-C?


okay now all I need is to find a sponsor grin
