These Chinese women were stranded at a South Korean airport because they simply could not be identified from their passport photos. The girls didn’t look like themselves at all, because they were still in bandages, and the post-operative swelling had not yet left their faces. Photos of tourists who found themselves in a difficult situation first appeared in all Chinese media, and then spread literally throughout the world.
Plastic surgeons in South Korea are famous as one of the the best specialists in their field, so it is not surprising that women from most Asian countries, including China and Japan, regularly fly here to go under the knife of real professionals and have their faces touched up. Many patients do not stop at rhinoplasty, facelift or Botox injections. They completely remake their faces, and sometimes even cause problems during passport control at customs and airports.
Exist different types tourism, and for some time now there have also been trips entirely dedicated to plastic surgery. Due to the active development of this area of business, some clinics plastic surgery began issuing special certificates to their foreign clients confirming their identity for border control personnel. The new type of documents includes the serial number of the patient's passport, the length of his stay in the clinic, the name and address of the institution and its official seal.
Travelers passing through customs with these certificates generally do not encounter problems, regardless of what plastic surgery procedures they have undergone. As a rule, the identification procedure in this case lasts a little longer, but plastic surgeons ultimately fly home without special difficulties. Unfortunately, for three Chinese women who tried to return home almost immediately after surgery, certificates from plastic surgeons did not help much.

The main problem if plastic surgery on the face is that the body needs some time to recover from such a specific invasive procedure. The three ladies in the title photo, who decided to spend the Golden Week holiday (traditional Chinese holiday) at a plastic surgery clinic in South Korea, had no idea that the recovery process could prevent them from returning home. The girls showed up at the airport still bandaged and swollen, barely recovering from anesthesia, and it was impossible for border guards to identify them from their passport photographs. As a result, the tourists had to stock up on considerable patience before they managed to return to their homeland.
An example of the result of extreme plastic surgery performed in South Korea:
Many Internet users took this story as a joke, but in fact it was like that. For example, one commenter wrote the following: “With such a swollen face, even your own mother will not be able to recognize you.”
So if you're thinking of flying to another country to see a plastic surgeon to correct your nose or face contour, spend at least a few days in a hotel before rushing to the airport and going through passport control.
Statistics show that Chinese women are the most frequent visitors to plastic surgeons. Wanting to save money, they go to South Korea, where procedures are much cheaper. In most cases, the result is really worth all the effort, so we suggest taking a look at Chinese women before and after plastic surgery.
Liu
Chinese Liu has done a tremendous amount of work on herself. The girl had a complex about her flat nose, eye shape and wide face for a long time, and only at the age of 26 she decided to go under the knife. The plastic surgeon performed a number of operations to reconstruct the shape of the nose, change the shape of the face and plastic surgery of the eyelids. In addition, there was also a cosmetologist - the doctor gave Liu collagen injections to rejuvenate her facial skin.
Zhang Sher
Aspiring singer Zhang Sher is 27 years old. Rightly believing that her beautiful appearance would allow her to achieve great career heights, she decided to undergo plastic surgery. The girl changed the shape of her eyes, removed the hump on her nose and added fillers to her cheekbones, making them more voluminous. Zhang considered freckles to be another of her shortcomings, which were eliminated with a laser.
Twins from China
It is said that twins can read each other's minds. This is what happened in a pair of these Chinese twins who decided to undergo the following plastic surgeries: changing the shape of their eyes and the shape of their faces. In addition, the girls were injected with Botox to rid them of wrinkles. Interestingly, even after the intervention, they remained a copy of each other.
Yang Xu
Yang Xu had to go through several plastic surgeries and numerous visits to a beautician. The girl changed the shape of her chin by inserting an implant there, and also corrected her nose. Botox injections and a course of special procedures allowed a 27-year-old Chinese woman to get rid of acne and get smooth skin.
Wuhan
Wuhan is one of the few Chinese women who did not want to get rid of slanted eyes. But the girl was not satisfied with the shape of her face, nose, too high forehead and the condition of her skin. Having undergone rhinoplasty, facial liposuction, surgery to insert an implant into the chin, as well as shifting the hairline, and adding all this to a course of injections, Wuhan became completely different from her former self.
Huang Silan
Juan is an aspiring singer who had to go under the plastic surgeon's knife twice to achieve the ideal shape of her eyes. In addition, she corrected the shape of her nose, removed freckles with a laser, and regularly gets eyelash extensions.
Wangchen Cheng
Plastic surgery helped Wangchen gain the love of the public. After traveling to South Korea, she returned with a completely new face. Now the girl regularly appears on the national Chinese television channel, but it took only six operations to gain popularity.
Real Estate Sales Manager
The name of this 25-year-old girl is unknown, but she, like the TV presenter, believed that changing her appearance would bring her success in her career. We can only hope that the efforts were not in vain, and that her pretty face helps the girl sell more properties.
Jan Javy
Changing the shape of the face, rhinoplasty, as well as surgery traditional for Chinese women to change the shape of the eyes are just some of the interventions that 21-year-old Yang underwent. Botox injections and fillers have become just an addition to plastic surgery.
Lu Ying
Rhinoplasty for 30-year-old Lu was not enough; she decided to combine two operations. As a result, she now boasts not only a graceful nose, but also large breasts.
Changsha
29-year-old Changsha followed Lu's example. Wanting to regain her pre-pregnancy shape, she decided to undergo liposuction and breast augmentation. Later, the girl returned to the clinic more than once, performing more and more operations. Now she has a completely different face.
Gao Shanshan
Blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, chin implant, injections, and now Gao can already be called a real oriental beauty.
Zhou
The girl is only 21 years old, but she has already completely changed herself, having undergone rhinoplasty, changing the shape of her eyes, liposuction of her cheeks, and also undergoing a course of injection procedures.
Ling Wen
Amazing changes have occurred to 21-year-old Lin thanks to plastic surgery - the shape of her eyes has changed, her nose has become more European, and her cheeks have shrunk.
Hangzhou
The European shape of the eyes, a more prominent nose, the absence of cheeks - all this, according to Hangzhou, suits her much more.
We can safely say that most Chinese women benefit from plastic surgery. The main thing is to be able to stop in time and not reshape yourself beyond recognition.
Three Chinese women were not immediately able to get home from South Korea, from where they were returning after plastic surgery: they were not recognized at passport control at the South Korean airport, and were detained until their identities were clarified, reports Shanghaiist. A photo of three Chinese women with swollen faces and passports in their hands has gone viral on the Internet.
They went to South Korea to undergo plastic surgery during the autumn Golden Week - the main public holiday - the 68th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Plastic surgery in South Korea is relatively cheap, which is why it attracts medical tourists. Two thirds of foreigners come from China.
Due to swelling and bandages from plastic surgery, they found themselves in a difficult situation at immigration control, which Chinese netizens learned about on Sunday after Chinese TV presenter Jianhua Hua posted a photo on her account on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.

Their appearance was so different from their passport photographs, the TV presenter explained, that it raised questions from the authorities. "Even their mothers couldn't recognize them," she was quoted as saying by Apple Daily. As the Chinese publication clarifies, the women were forced to wait for identity confirmation.
Plastic surgery has become a Korean national brand. Many foreigners, especially from China, fly to South Korea specifically to have plastic surgery. Incidents at airports when border guards do not allow Chinese citizens through because of their changed appearance happen very often. This case gained particular notoriety because of the photographs, which many Internet users found comical.
As noted on the TecRussia website, dedicated to plastic surgery, swelling after facial plastic surgery, in particular nose surgery (rhinoplasty), is a mandatory and inevitable element postoperative period, the same as bandages, bruises and the need to breathe through the mouth.
They do not go away in the first weeks and even months. Swelling of the face occurs after a facelift; 2-3 days after surgery, special swelling is observed near the eyes. The hematoma goes away within one or two weeks after the surgeon’s intervention.
In South Korea, women strive to be more European come running to lift the corners of the lips, thanks to which a woman can constantly smile without making any effort. Plastic surgery is quite painful and risky, since if it fails, ugly scars remain on the lips.
