Before going on an expedition to have a plastic surgery in Korea, what needs to be researched?
Female Chinese came to Korea to visit a plastic surgery clinic in Apgujeong during winter vacation. The visiting is to have mandibular and malar surgeries. She had already made an appointment and then had the consultation regarding a photo of Korean celebrities that she brought in as a sample of her ideal facial shape.
Chinese tourists used to be found in Dongdaemoon but nowadays they are also easily found in Apgujeong as well. This is because the number of Chinese tourists for medical treatments has been increased.
Especially, the number of medical tour visa issued by Korean embassy in China was 1073 last year. This number is 3.86 times higher than that of the previous year. The main reasons for medical tour are dermatology treatments and plastic surgeries.

Due to this trend, Korean plastic surgery skills has also well known universally.
To be specific, a slim V shaped face line is considered as the standard of beauty as well as well-defined eyes and nose which can be seen from Korean entertainers like Song Hyekyo or Jeon Jihyun.
