The best plastic surgeons in the world are the Koreans
It is known that Korean plastic surgeons are the best in the world but their ability is causing many problems in Chinese and Japanese citiziens traveling up to South Korea to undergo surgery. Scalpel tourists are then blocked at the border because 'do not resemble anymore' to the pictures in the documents.
The people who decide to undergo surgery abroad are more and more avery day, usually the operations choosed are very invasive and significantly change the features of the face. In Asia, cosmetic surgery is very fashionable and some are subjecting themselves to unnecessary interventions.
Some time ago, 23 women, friends among them, decided to take a trip together to South Korea to undergo a series of cosmetic surgery operations. When they wanted to return, the border authorities were not able to recognize them because of the difference in between the photos of the documents and their new face. Bigger eyes, nicer noses and chins. "After they removed their hats and sunglasses, as we had requested them, we saw that they had surgery, with bandages and stitches here and there. We had to carefully compare the part of the faces that had not been changed with the pictures"thsi is what one of the managers of the airport of Shanghai said.
This situation is creating many problems to Korean hospitals so that, to avoid losing patients, they are issuing "certificates of plastic surgery" for foreign patients. The certificates include the details of the passport of the patient, and the details of the intervention. The document, even if it has no legal status, should help to convince border authorities about who is who.
