Dr. Emil Chynn — New York’s pickiest bachelor — is still looking for love, and in unique ways.
After finding little success when he posted a personal ad in the Spring 2012 issue of Columbia University’s alumni magazine, offering a $10,000 charitable donation for an introduction to the right woman, the Ivy League-educated surgeon has a new offer — hook him up and he will fix you up.
Chynn, who runs a Park Avenue LASEK eye surgery practice is now offering cosmetic procedures to those who can find him the right lady.

The good doctor will shell out US$100 for finding him a first date. If there is a second date you could receive free eyelash-enhancer Latisse or US$200.
On the chance a third date should take place, Chynn would offer free Botox or US$300; free Juvederm injections or US$400 for the elusive fourth date, and free LASEK surgery on one eye worth US$2,000 or US$500 cash for that magical fifth date.
