Korean plastic surgeon Kim Byung-gun operates on a Chinese patient for the so-called "double eyelid surgery", which adds a crease to the eyelids to make the eyes appear larger, in his 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)
