In recent years, plastic surgery has developed rapidly in China. According to the data of "China Plastic Surgery Industry Deep Market Research and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report 20 15-2020 Outlook" released by Forward-looking Industry Research Institute, the income scale of plastic surgery in China was about 28.7 billion yuan in 20 12, and it was about 33 billion yuan in 20 13, and the growth rate of the industry scale was obvious. It is estimated that by 20 16, the number of plastic surgery patients in China will reach 8.5 million, and the market scale will reach 68 billion yuan based on the per capita consumption level of 8,000 yuan.
The rapid development of domestic plastic surgery industry is closely related to the influence of Korean culture, but more importantly, the continuous improvement of consumption level. South Korea, as the guide of the domestic plastic surgery industry, has also attracted many China people to go to South Korea for plastic surgery, especially the stars, which can not only get their wishes, but also avoid the long guns and short guns of domestic paparazzi, killing two birds with one stone. According to the data released by Korea, in 20 12, China surpassed the United States and became the country with the largest number of plastic surgeons in Korea. Of all foreign patients, 63% came from China. Moreover, there are many cases of China patients undergoing whole-body plastic surgery, and the cost of such surgery is as high as 50 million-654.38 billion won (about 270,000-540,000 yuan), and the consumption power is staggering. This also reflects from the side that China people have a strong consumption power for plastic surgery.
