<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>I’m working with several
students and some HS teachers that have all contacted me recently with an
interest in the issue of cosmetic surgery in Korea. They are hearing
that Korea is a plastic surgery Mecca in East Asia and possibly on a broader
scale. Does anyone out do work on this issue or is conversant with
others’ work in this area? All I can do is confirm the general story,
and I know there has been some good work done on this. I’m busy
preparing to take a group to Korea so I’m not in a position to work on
this….any help would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
