In the June 09 Financial Times there was an article which announced that in China the popularity of plastic surgery has grown by 40%. Many choose plastic surgery to boost their employment prospects and others spend their extra money on various cosmetic procedures just to achieve what they wish-a larger looking eye through eyelid surgery and breast enlargement or higher bridged nose. In Shanghai plastic surgery business is booming. In spite of a bad economic conditions in the world the chinese women are undetered. They believe that looking better leads to better opportunities in the job market or in the romantic markets. The average age is 25 yo to 35 yo, much younger than in the US. After basic necessities are met such as food, rent, clothing and car, the extra money often goes for plastic surgery. Once plastic surgery was looked down upon, today however, it is something that many want.
