According to the Yonhap News Agency, in 2011, South Korea issued 1,073 visas to Chinese tourists who went to Korea for cosmetic surgery, a surge of 386% from 2010. However, due to language barriers, inconvenient rights protection, and aesthetic differences, the plastic surgery in South Korea has gradually cooled down, while the opposite is the gradual rise of medical tourism in Taiwan. Cai Xiuzhen, head of the Taipei World Trade Center Tourism Medical Group, said that from January to September this year, more than 80,000 mainland tourists went to Taiwan for medical beauty.
Cai Xiuzhen: As far as the statistics of our Taipei World Trade Center are concerned, we have already sent more than 80,000 people from mainland China to Taiwan to receive medical check-up services for sightseeing medical treatment. From January to September this year, we have already had eight in the first three quarters. More than 10,000 people, so we estimate that this year will exceed 100,000 people.
In the face of the growing army of plastic surgery in the mainland, Taiwan has also provided a variety of convenient measures. For example, mainland residents can apply directly to Taiwan in the name of medical care. Not only is it easier to handle immigration procedures, but it also bypasses non-professional intermediaries and avoids Potential disputes.
Cai Xiuzhen: The first one is that it is used for sightseeing. With the tour group coming over, you can do health checkups and medical beauty. The second part is free travel. As long as we have a medical institution in Taiwan, we can come over. The third type is a business visa. It is also possible to use business communication to conduct health checkups and medical beauty. The last one is the health check-up medical visa that was opened this year.
According to the practitioners of the plastic surgery industry in Taiwan, due to the low number of operations and low risk, the most popular tourists in mainland China are the injection of hyaluronic acid, botulinum and other micro-plastic items. However, Wang Zhijun, deputy director of the Medical Aesthetics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, said that although it is micro-plastic, it is not as simple as a casual shot.
Wang Zhijun: You should see what material was injected for you. You should ask him to tell you what kind of material was injected, how much was injected, and then you should get this material.
At the same time, consumers must also look at the choice of materials, and even personally check the authenticity and choose carefully.
Han Xiao, executive director of the Private Branch of China Plastic Surgery Association: I want everyone to pay attention to three formalities: one is to be treated in a formal place, and the second must be a regular, professional doctor with plastic surgery practices to treat you. The third point is to use regular products. When using regular products, pay attention to some details on the products. For example, the anti-counterfeiting code on the product can be checked online to see if there is a manufacturer's registration number.
The China Consumers Association issued a report saying that in the nearly 10 years of the rise of the plastic surgery industry in China, the average annual complaints about the destruction of cosmetic plastic surgery were nearly 20,000. At present, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries are also targeting the huge Chinese plastic surgery market. Experts remind consumers that consumers should retain evidence in the process of plastic surgery to facilitate future rights protection.
