The great S'pore family makeover

A family that nips and tucks together, stays together. That is true for the Ng family, who say that going for plastic surgery has brought them closer together.

It started with younger daughter, Miss Veronica Ng (above), 22, heading off to Seoul for an operation last September.

Mum Mary, 57, liked how her daughter turned out and she went under the knife in February. Then, Miss Ng's older sister, Elizabeth, 27, decided that she, too, would like to enhance her looks and she had plastic surgery in June.

The Ngs represent an increasing number of Singaporeans who are heading to South Korea to have cosmetic makeovers.

This has prompted some Korean plastic surgeons to come here regularly for consultation with potential clients.
