    Im not sure what to think about this one -

    Teen Has Tongue Surgically Lengthened to Speak Korean - FoxNews.com

    A 19-year-old British student took her love for the Korean culture to new heights when she had her tongue surgically lengthened so she could speak the language better, the Telegraph reported.

    Rhiannon Brooksbank–Jones underwent a procedure called a lingual frenectomy, which involves a surgeon either using a scalpel or a laser to remove the frenulum – the band of tissue that connects that tongue to the floor of the mouth.

    The procedure, often performed on people who have an unusually thick, large or tight frenulum, only takes about 15 minutes and involves very little recovery time.

    Rhiannon said she is pleased with the results, and now that her tongue is 1 centimeter longer, she said she is able to say words that were impossible before.

    "The surgical procedure was my only option. My pronunciation was very 'foreign', but now I can speak with a native Korean accent," she said.

    A living proof that if you want, there's a way. And if you don't, you'll find nothing but excuses. We really got plenty of options in this world LOL!

    I am disgusted =/

    Speaking as a student ging through surgery....

    This makes a mockery of surgery really.


    Risk vs reward, life vs death.... the surgeon really didn't have anything better to do?

    I wish there was an audio for comparison. Like:
    ► English Before
    ► English After
    ► Korean Before
    ► Korean After

    Would like to hear the difference.

    Wait a second... is that a big vein coming all across her left cheek ?
