A patient is seen before a nose lifting and a so-called "double eyelid surgery", which adds a crease to the eyelids to make the eyes appear larger, at the Korean plastic surgeon Kim Byung-gun's clinic in Shanghai September 16, 2007. Kim, who runs South Korea's largest plastic surgery hospital BK Clinic and is one of the country's most successful surgeons, envisaged a bonanza in China after noting that 40 Chinese women a month were flying to his Seoul clinic for cosmetic surgery. Chinese government officials estimate that $2.4 billion was spent last year on plastic surgery procedures, with 1 million operations taking place. The "double eyelid surgery" is the most popular cosmetic surgery in China. REUTERS/Nir Elias (CHINA)
