Rapid Growth of Plastic Surgery in China: Trends, Drivers, and Expert Insights

Plastic surgery in China has seen a rapid rise, becoming a thriving industry. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's global statistics report from 2019, China is among the top three countries for both its number of practicing plastic surgeons and popularity as a medical tourism destination. Statista forecasts that by 2023, China's medical aesthetics market will surpass 310 billion yuan.

The surge in demand for cosmetic surgery in China can be attributed to various factors including industrialization post-World War II and the growth of its middle class with increased purchasing power. This has expanded access to luxuries, leading to a broader acceptance of plastic surgery as both a reconstructive tool and an elective procedure. Social media platforms like WeChat have significantly contributed to spreading awareness about plastic surgery among younger generations, who are more likely to embrace this aspect of beauty mntenance.

Collaboration between Chinese and Korean surgeons has also played a role in the rise of plastic surgery popularity in China; Korea's widespread acceptance of cosmetic procedures has helped normalize them in Chinese society. Many Chinese patients now prefer treatments within the country rather than abroad.

Dr. Ellis Choy, founder of Asian Plastic Surgery Sydney, acknowledges that while Chinese culture traditionally shied away from open discussions about such procedures, today’s younger generations are more open and unembarrassed to speak about undergoing cosmetic enhancements. They view plastic surgery as an integral part of beauty routines or a competitive edge in professional and social circles.

Chinese patients often seek facial surgeries including blepharoplasty for double eyelids and rhinoplasty focusing on refining the nose structure. Body procedures such as breast augmentation m to enhance body shape perceptions by adding volume or sculpting specific areas without implants through fat transfer techniques.

New trends emerge rapidly based on social media influences, with 'elf ears' being a recent example.

Dr. Choy, who speaks three Chinese dialects and comes from a Chinese background, brings an understanding of both the unique physical characteristics and cultural values that influence beauty perceptions among Asian patients. His team provides high-quality care for Asian plastic surgery patients based on this comprehensive insight.
