Everybody appreciates beauty. Beautiful people enjoy more opportunities and are more self-confident in society. In fact, the beauty economy is one of China’s five hottest consumer areas, after real estate, automobiles, telecom and tourism. There are no public statistics on how many people have plastic surgery in China every year, but if you take a look at some hospitals’ plastic surgery departments, you can easily tell that this sunrise industry has great potential.

What attracts beauty fans the most is surgeon’s skills. Surgeons take 80 percent of the risk of an operation. The equipment at Chinese hospitals has already developed to a very level now. Then the key competition in the future will be the surgeon’s skill. You have to be a surgeon with six to eight years’ experience to apply to take the plastic surgeon’s license exam. Plastic surgery covers the entire body from head to toe, so surgeons need to have solid and comprehensive knowledge of anatomy. Surgeons must also know esthetics and psychology. The qualifications for plastic surgeons are very strict.

Aside from advertisements, comments from satisfied patients are the most important for a cosmetic surgery’s reputation and brand extension. More and more Chinese hospitals are paying attention to improving their brands these days. A plastic surgery hospital must have applied to the original Public Health Administration and been approved for a Medical Institution Practice License, and should also be qualified to perform the operation that you are seeking. You have the right to check your surgeon’s qualifications before the operation. A qualified practicing surgeon should have a Physician’s Qualification Certificate, a Medical Practice Qualification and a Medical Beautician Professional Certificate.
