In recent years there has been growing popularity in cosmetic surgery for the Asian face. Most Asian patients desire very subtle changes, that improve facial balance and harmony whilst maintaining their ethnic identity.

Traditionally there have been cultural prejudice against cosmetic surgery in Asia, however, in recent years cosmetic surgery is not only being accepted but also increasingly being sought after.
