A growing number of students in China spend their university vacation in a plastic surgery procedure to boost their chances of getting a good job after graduation. “I want to be more beautiful, to perfect myself,” Pan, a student at one of China’s most prestigious law schools, told Reuters in the waiting room of EverCare Xingfu hospital. Thousands of plastic surgery clinics are mushrooming across China with promises to make patients more beautiful, more successful and more marriageable. The three-month vacation gives time for bandages to come off and bruises to heal before school resumes. Government officials estimate $2.4 billion is spent annually in China on over 1 million such operations every year (ZGBriefs).
