Plz do not go to these clinics. Forget the price. Your face and body will thank you later.

n the pursuit of perfection, the 31-year-old former office worker from Shanghai went under the knife in Seoul, South Korea, last year. She hoped bigger eyes and a V-shaped face would help her find a handsome boyfriend and improve her employment prospects.

Glancing through her old photos, many would struggle to find fault with the fair skin and small round face captured in the snapshots, but not Wang: "I wasn't beautiful enough for my ex-boyfriend, who left me for a younger, more attractive girl."

Wang is one of a growing number of Chinese women who travel to South Korea for cosmetic surgery but have been left with lasting physical — and emotional — scars after botched operations.

According to the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, approximately 210,000 medical tourists visited the reputed "kingdom of plastic surgery" in 2013. Chinese tourists comprised 26.5 percent of the total to top the list.

When Wang decided to go to Seoul, she felt she was fully prepared and understood the procedure. She had watched Internet adverts promoting "magical" Seoul face-lifts and had been impressed by the "before-and-after" images.

At Wonjin Beauty Medical Group, she asked for a procedure that would give her extra fold in her eyelids. She was persuaded, however, into doing at least two other operations including one on her cheekbones to give her a V-shaped face, considered the height of feminine beauty in much of East Asia.

The operations cost her nearly 120,000 yuan (US$19,000).

"I was told there was no risk. After the operation, the doctor said I would recover in a few months. Obviously, I didn't," she says.

When Wang returned to China, she sought help from several hospitals but was told the damage was permanent and irreversible.

Instead of boosting her confidence, the surgery made her life unbearable. She found it difficult to eat. She lost her job, faced an array of medical problems and slipped into a depression.

In a fit of rage, Wang flew back to Seoul for retribution, but she was beaten up by the hospital's security guards, she says.

Wonjin Beauty Medical Group, however, refuted Wang's accusations.

It said the operations had been successful and Wang's crooked mouth was the result of something she had done deliberately. It added that Wang had fabricated the assault story as the hospital has no security guards.

There is a rising trend for young women in China to undergo cosmetic surgery.

However, unlicensed doctors, shoddy but costly operations and fraudulent intermediary services are too regular an occurrence in the booming, yet poorly regulated, medical tourist industry.

Media reported more than 20,000 cosmetic surgery institutions are operating in South Korea. But data from the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons showed only 1,500 registered institutions along with 2,100 licensed plastic surgeons.

The "ghost doctors" who stand in for experienced surgeons and perform actual surgeries are an open secret in the industry.

Lack of medical documentation

Cho Soo Young, public relations director of the association, suggested customers check a doctor's qualification on its website before making the decision.

Many overseas students and travel agencies moonlight as intermediaries for hospitals in Seoul, reaping as much as 50 percent of the operation's fees.

In addition, Chinese patients are often charged twice or three times the amount South Korean citizens pay, according to former actress Jin Weikun.

Jin, 26, reshaped her face and augmented her breasts last year to "improve her career." She was left with a plethora of medical problems.

In response, she set up the group "Fight to Win" on messaging app WeChat, which now has more than 200 Chinese members, including men, who claim to have been left disfigured after going under the knife in Seoul.

Few, however, have any supporting medical documentation, such as invoices or pre-surgery agreements, which makes it almost impossible to claim compensation. Many members of the group now struggle with depression and some have even attempted suicide, Jin says.

Societal pressure and the misconception that being beautiful is a shortcut to success are often cited by patients as the reasons they chose cosmetic surgery.

"They promised me a high-bridged nose and a lower hairline with no scars on the forehead," says Mi Yuanyuan from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

She went to a Seoul clinic called Faceline in September 2013, after watching a plastic surgery reality show.

Mi says she was given a document while she was on the operation table.

"I cannot read a word of Korean and so had no idea what it said," Mi says. "All I knew was that I was ready for the operation. I had no time to ask questions."

Faceline said it was a pre-surgery declaration stating the patient understood all potential side effects. The doctors had explained to Mi clearly and she had signed it, Faceline said.

After the surgery Mi suffered nose pain, hair loss and there are visible scars on her forehead, which Faceline insisted were from her previous cosmetic surgery in China and not as serious as she claimed.

China has its own share of cosmetic surgery horror stories. The China Consumers' Association says its branches nationwide handled at least 1,400 complaints over aesthetic and cosmetic procedures last year, though many more cases are believed to go unreported.

Wang Bei, 24, a former contestant on the hit talent show "Super Girl," died in 2010 due to complications from anesthesia during plastic surgery in Wuhan, capital city of Hubei Province. The case raised concern about the safety of plastic surgery.

Despite the damage, some people do not regret having gone under the knife.

"Plastic surgery is just another way to give yourself an edge in today's super-competitive society," Jin says. "You can't blame people for turning to surgery to look good, in a society where being pretty simply trumps everything."

A week ago Xinhua news agency interviewed 207 students randomly chosen from three universities in Beijing, Tianjin and Nanjing in Jiangsu Province. More than 16 percent said they had "thought about reshaping their faces," while 191 interviewees thought people with good looks would get better career opportunities.

Nearly 60 percent of patients at major cosmetic surgery clinics in Shanghai were college students who wanted "small improvements," says a Shanghai doctor.

Plastic surgery isn't just for women. Men account for nearly 10 percent of student patients choosing face-lifts, the doctor says.

Zhang Yan, a researcher with the Academy of Social Sciences in the northwest province of Shaanxi, says plastic surgery should be reserved for victims of fire or other accidents.

"Young people need intelligence more than good looks to survive in society," says Zhang. "After all, a pretty face cannot fill the spiritual void."

 

LOl some ask why Im always on here. Because I work from home. Part of my job is looking on social media from time to time. Plus forgive me for trying to save your face, But you can come out with good result and never let your doctor decide when you know best. I will keep on posting on every clinic that botch people, Word of mouth is a powerful tool. No I dont work for one of these clinic. Lol not even, I live in AMerica

 

BEIJING (AFP) - Chinese businesswoman Chen Yili paid a South Korean hospital thousands of dollars to reshape her face in the hope she would look more like the glamourous stars she saw on television.

Instead, she says she was disfigured by the operation - one of a growing number of Chinese women who claim shoddy procedures and a lack of regulation in South Korea's booming "medical tourism" industry, have left them physically scarred.

"They said they would design my face to look like a South Korean, and help me design a new nose, lips and chin, but (afterwards) when my friends saw my nose they were all shocked. They said it was crooked (and) ugly," Ms Chen said.

Seoul on Friday announced a crackdown on illegal brokers and unregistered clinics in a bid to protect medical tourists, especially those drawn by the country's huge plastic surgery industry.

The country is a cultural powerhouse in Asia - its soap operas and pop music videos are massively popular in China and often feature cosmetically enhanced stars.

While China's domestic plastic surgery market is worth tens of billions of dollars, persistent safety concerns are driving growing numbers of wealthy consumers abroad.

South Korea has pushed hard to foster its so-called "medical tourism" industry, which was worth the equivalent of nearly US$360 million (S$489 million) in 2013, according to official figures.

China topped the medical tourist list with more 25,400 visitors, an increase of 70 percent from the previous year, the South Korean health ministry said.

Chinese tourists generally pay more than twice as much as locals for cosmetic procedures, Chinese newspaper Southern Weekly reported this month.

Dozens of South Korean clinics have Chinese-language websites, some offering surgery alongside sightseeing vacations, with promotions offered during Chinese holidays.

One clinic promises to provide "almond shaped eyes" and a "magical V-shaped face" - considered the ideal of feminine beauty in much of East Asia, another is seemingly full of glowing testimonials from past patients.

While most procedures in South Korea appear to occur without incident, last month attention focused on the industry after a 50-year-old Chinese woman was left in a coma by a clinic in Seoul's up-market Gangnam district.

As much as a third of Chinese patients' costs can go towards fees for brokers who act as liaisons for the hospitals, Ms Chen said after making initial enquiries she was contacted "incessantly" by an agent and felt cajoled into having the surgery.

She spent more than US$26,000 dollars on the surgery in 2010 at the Beauty Line clinic in Seoul. One of her procedures involved having cartilage taken from her chest and added to her nose to make it more prominent.

But upon returning to China, she began to suffer from nasal infections. Now staying at a clinic in Beijing she says her mental health suffered and she is taking 12 antidepressants each day.

"I've lost sleep, I can't meet with friends, and I suffer from depression, because my nose is just too ugly," she said.

"I feel tricked. I think the industry is protected by (South Korea's) government, because its a key source of revenue," she added.

Ms Park Ji Hye, an official at South Korea's Health Ministry, told AFP that "activities involving illegal brokers and inflated fees, as well as disputes over malpractice, are sparking complaints from foreign patients".

Hoping to bring the industry into line, the authorities last Friday declared owners of unregistered facilities treating foreign patients could be punished with jail sentences.

"Some clinics are treating Chinese patients without a state license allowing them to treat foreign patients, because obviously that's where the money is," said Mr Cho Soo Young, spokesman of the association of Korean plastic surgeons.

Back in China, an online support group made up of hundreds of victims of alleged botched cosmetic procedures conducted in South Korea, has begun a campaign to highlight the problems.

"You start to believe that cosmetic surgery is something magical that can change your life. We have to take some responsibility ourselves, for not understanding the industry, and being too trusting," said group organiser Jin Weikun.

But many women in the group added that clinics had not warned them of potential risks.

Ms Winnie Wang, 45, said she was "devastated, cried and even attempted suicide" after an operation in 2013 left her with unequally sized eyes.

Ms Yu Lijun, a designer, underwent one of the most controversial procedures at Seoul's Faceline clinic - "double-jaw" surgery - which involves cutting the bone to produce a slimmer jawline. Today her mouth is visibly misaligned, making it hard to eat and prompting her to wear a facemask at all times.

Ms Mi Yuanyuan, a Chinese actress, said a 2013 operation at the same clinic left her with regular pain in her nose, as well as numbness and hair-loss on her forehead.

"They said there weren't any risks," the 38-year-old said. "They said the surgeon was as famous as the Hermes bag I was carrying."

But Faceline disputed this, saying Ms Yu had been through two botched surgeries in China that had left her mouth crooked before coming to them for help fixing it.

"We sent Yu back several times because the risk was too big but eventually decided to treat her after her repeated pleas for weeks," the clinic said in a statement, adding that she did not follow post-surgery care instructions.

It also said Ms Mi had signed a pre-surgery statement acknowledging potential side effects to her procedures.

Beauty Line, which is licensed to treat foreign patients, said it could not locate the file of a patient named Chen Yili, as its records are in Korean and do not contain patients' names in Chinese. The company did not return calls from AFP after being contacted by a reporter with proof of Ms Wang's history at the clinic.
