Pointy chin, pointy again – 24-year-old Xiao Yang, good-looking, is considered a beauty, but she herself is not very satisfied. New Year’s Day holiday, she found a plastic surgeon, want to open a corner of the eye, do a cone face. Yang said, they are doing real estate sales, since childhood, like to read comic books, Japanese comic books in the girl, that is called beauty, big eyes cherry mouth, face small chin pointed. Xiao Yang work for more than a year, they have a deposit, before has not dared to mention the matter of cosmetic surgery, for fear of being mother said waste of money. “Now with my own money, if the plastic surgery is successful, it will definitely benefit me a lot in my future work as well.” Ma Yuebo, chairman of the Society of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of Ningbo Medical Association, said that the financial crisis has affected many industries, but the cosmetic surgery industry in Ningbo has not been affected at all, and many people have taken advantage of this opening to perfect themselves. According to statistics, more than 30,000 people had cosmetic surgery in Ningbo in 2009, about 40% more than in 2008. Interestingly, among these 30,000 people, about 40% of them are good-looking themselves and they want to add to their good looks. Although it is difficult to count the per capita spending on cosmetic surgery in Ningbo over the years, some plastic surgeons have affirmed that the increase is definitely more than the level of price rise. Trend life is changing rapidly, what are the new changes in Ningbo people’s pursuit of beauty? Who are the people who are having plastic surgery? What are the new trends in people’s pursuit of medical beauty? Hu Wenbo: The occupation of people who have plastic surgery has changed a lot. In the past, most of them were actors and actresses or people engaged in service and window work, which were all out of the need for work, and they didn’t necessarily want to have plastic surgery in their heart. In the past few years, I have found that as long as they have the financial means, people of all professions will come to have plastic surgery, and the more concentrated professions are: students, white-collar workers, civil servants, teachers and doctors. Let’s take our doctors themselves for example, more than 200 of them have had plastic surgery in our hospital alone. “However, they are all minor surgeries, double eyelid cuts, mole removal, nose jobs, eyebrow tattoos and the like.” Ma Yuebo: The career change of the cosmetic surgery population has determined that cosmetic surgery has developed into a holiday economy in the past two years. Every summer and winter vacation, is the students and teachers of plastic surgery peak; every long vacation, will become white-collar workers, civil servants of plastic surgery peak. Ren Sen Yang, director of plastic surgery and aesthetics at Ningda Affiliated Hospital: traditional aesthetics to “three courts and five eyes” for beauty, which is the experience of the ancient painters in the drawing of beautiful women summarized in the picture, if the location and size of the eyes, nose, forehead, chin in line with the standard of “three courts and five eyes”, then the face is beautiful. If the position and size of the eyes, nose, forehead and chin meet the standard of “three faces and five eyes”, then the face is beautiful. Now, the developed network culture has a great impact on people’s aesthetics, aesthetic standards have changed, for example, some people’s eyes are obviously very large, but also to open the corners of the eyes, so that the eyes are bigger, obviously is a melon face, but also to play the thinning face injection, want to make the face look smaller. This has also given rise to new plastic surgery programs, such as eye opening, do cone face, the whole belly button shape. Doctors remind Plastic surgery to find a regular hospital, find a professional doctor with cosmetic qualifications, do not be superstitious advertisements of Korean plastic surgery. When we went to South Korea to visit, the Korean experts are very puzzled, asked China is very popular “Korean plastic surgery” is what it means? In fact, China’s current plastic surgery is not worse than the international level, “Korean plastic surgery” is just a gimmick. Need to be reminded that plastic surgery is risky, do not go to plastic surgery at the cost of damage to health, such as bone cutting and face slimming, will reduce the bite of the jawbone. Read some specialized books before deciding on plastic surgery, and don’t be superstitious about information posted online. If you come across new techniques you’ve never heard of or outrageously high prices, you need to have more than one eye on you.
