Quote:With South Korea being one of the world’s most popular destinations for plastic surgery, it is no surprise that some medical tourists are facing challenges when going through immigration after their makeover.
So much so that the Chinese Embassy is reminding everyone to carry a doctor’s certificate when leaving the country. After all, during long holiday breaks, many tourists from China flock to South Korea for aesthetic procedures.
This situation is reminscent of an incident in 2017 when three Mainland Chinese women in their 20s were reportedly stopped from leaving South Korea because they couldn’t prove that they were the same people in their passport photos.
