Chinese women whoare entering South Korea seeking skilled plastic surgeons are undergoing suchtransformative procedures that they are struggling to get past airport securityon their way home.The extensivesurgeries, which can include reducing excess skin in the uppereyelid to make the eyes appear bigger and more 'Western', are transforming someChinese women's entire faces, rendering them almost unrecognizable.To combat theissue, some hospitals have resorted to handing out 'plastic surgery certificates'- which include the patient's passport number, the name of the hospital theywere treated at and the length of their visit to South Korea - to enable thewomen to re-enter China.
为了美丽,中国女性源源不断地涌向韩国,寻找技艺高超的整容医师。在回国的归途中,由于容貌与入境前反差巨大,致使他们无法通过机场安检。手术五花八门,包括能去掉上眼皮多出的皮肤,让眼睛变得更大更“西方化”,能改变一些中国女性整个面容,让他们变得几乎让人认不出来。为解决这一问题,一些医院采取发放“整容证明”—— 证明里标注着病人的护照号码,他们就医的医院名称,以及在韩国逗留时间长短,这才使得这些女士回到中国。

韩国正迅速成为世界整形外科的领军者,人均整容人数世界领先,据去年国际美容整形外科学会发布的全球(统计)数据。每77个韩国人当中就有一个,通过手术或注射让他们自己变得更漂亮。让人不可思议的是,1/20的19到49岁的女性承认接受过整容手术。其中最流行的步骤,包括割眼皮,让眼睛显得更大更有“西方”味。
