Plastic surgery has long been big business in the US, but now the trend is sweeping across Asia.
整形美容長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)一直在美國(guó)盛行，而如今這個(gè)潮流正席卷亞洲。

Figures released by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), suggest that when population is taken into account, South Korea is now the world's largest market for cosmetic procedures.
國(guó)際美容整形外科學(xué)會(huì)發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，若考慮人口因素，韓國(guó)現(xiàn)在是全世界整形美容業(yè)最大的市場(chǎng)。

In a bid to change their looks, 20 percent of women between the ages of 19 and 49 in Seoul, the country's capital city, admitted they had gone under the knife.
在韓國(guó)首都首爾，20%年齡介于19到49歲的女性承認(rèn)她們?yōu)榱烁淖儤用?，接受過(guò)美容整形手術(shù)。

The most popular surgical procedures include double eyelid surgery - which reduces excess skin in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear bigger, lipoplasty - which uses high-frequency sound waves to eliminate fat - and nose jobs.
最流行的整形手術(shù)包括雙眼皮手術(shù)——通過(guò)減少上眼瞼多余的皮膚來(lái)使雙眼看起來(lái)更大，抽脂手術(shù)——運(yùn)用高頻聲波來(lái)減肥，以及鼻子整形手術(shù)。

While on the nonsurgical front, Botox and laser hair removal remain firm favourites.
而在非手術(shù)整形中，注射肉毒桿菌和激光脫毛依然是最受歡迎的。

Overall more than 5.8 million enhancements were performed in Asia during 2010, while just over 4.5 million procedures were carried out in the US the Economist revealed.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在2010年，亞洲的整形手術(shù)總量超過(guò)了580萬(wàn)例，而在美國(guó)這個(gè)數(shù)字僅為450萬(wàn)多一點(diǎn)。

It is believed that the rise of South Korea's pop music industry is behind the boom, and many patients visit clinics with photos of celebrities, asking surgeons to emulate nose angle or eyes.
許多人認(rèn)為韓國(guó)流行音樂(lè)產(chǎn)業(yè)的崛起是這個(gè)整容熱潮背后的原因，許多人帶著明星的照片來(lái)到整形醫(yī)院，要求仿照明星的鼻型或眼睛來(lái)整容。

One of the country's largest clinics, JK Plastic Surgery Center founded by Joo Kwon, recently opened a hotel to better serve customers, who spend an average of $17,675 during a single visit.
韓國(guó)最大的整形醫(yī)院之一，由權(quán)株創(chuàng)立的JK整形手術(shù)中心，近期開(kāi)了一家旅館來(lái)更好地服務(wù)顧客。這些顧客每次看病人均花費(fèi)17675美元。

An increasing amount of clients are non-Koreans, from China, Japan, the Middle East and even Africa, and ministers believe medical tourism will help boost the Korean economy.
急增的整形顧客中很多并不是韓國(guó)人，他們來(lái)自中國(guó)、日本、中東甚至非洲。韓國(guó)部長(zhǎng)們認(rèn)為醫(yī)療旅游將有助于推動(dòng)韓國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。

However Mr Kwon warned that young people should be cautious when seeking such operations.
但是，權(quán)先生警告年輕人在欲進(jìn)行手術(shù)時(shí)應(yīng)三思。

'I think South Korea has a very rigorous and narrow definition of beauty because we’re an ethnically homogenous society and everyone looks pretty much the same. It is also related to low self-esteem.
他告訴記者說(shuō)：“我認(rèn)為，韓國(guó)對(duì)于美的定義很苛刻狹隘，因?yàn)槲覀兪且粋€(gè)種族單一的國(guó)家，每個(gè)人看上去都差不多。整容也和自卑情緒有關(guān)。”

'I think the situation will somewhat moderate in future as society becomes more diverse. But it will take quite a bit of time until we get there,' he told the reporters.
“我認(rèn)為隨著社會(huì)變得更多元化，未來(lái)這個(gè)情況會(huì)在一定程度上得到改善。不過(guò)這需要一定的時(shí)間。”

Last year, the Education Ministry issued a booklet warning Korean high school students of 'plastic surgery syndrome', citing Michael Jackson and a local woman whose addiction to plastic surgery left her with a grotesquely swollen face.
去年，韓國(guó)教育部發(fā)布了一本手冊(cè)就整形手術(shù)綜合癥對(duì)韓國(guó)高中生發(fā)出了警告，引用了邁克爾•杰克遜以及一個(gè)韓國(guó)女性因?qū)φ紊习a導(dǎo)致臉部怪異浮腫的案例。
