Asked By:chloemia

Hi, I am very dissatisfied with my high wide cheekbones and planning to do zygoma reduction surgery in Korea next month. Understand they will use screw, pins for fixation. As my work will need me to travel to countries like US, Europe, do you know if it will create issues for me at Checkpoint when entering US, Europe, etc? Thanks!
