CCTV News:(Reporter Di Chenchen Wang Jiaying) "From the top of the forehead to the eyebrows, from the eyebrows to the nose, from the nose to the chin, each accounting for 1/3. The width of the face is measured by the width of the eyes and divided into 5 equal parts."
Sheng Nan drew a few times in front of the mirror, and all three courts and five eyes met the aesthetic standards. "Am I really ugly?"
Faced with the delicate and confident appearance of old classmates whom I haven’t seen for several years, Sheng Nan, who has been dressed as a tomboy and laughing for more than 20 years, began to pay attention to "Yan value" under a series of stimuli.
The heat in August seems to have brought Sheng Nan a little anxiety. She classified herself as "unsightly". When dieting and exercise still failed, she thought of the most convenient way: plastic surgery. This previously unthinkable behavior was put on the agenda.
It’s not nine o’clock in the morning, and people are coming and going in the corridor of the outpatient building of the plastic surgery hospital. What surprised Sheng Nan even more was that she was not the youngest among the students in their early twenties.
Linlin, a cosmetic consultant in 1993, worked for more than two years. She showed Sheng Nan the case with an iPad, and conveniently took out a mirror from the pocket of her pink gown. In the mirror, Sheng Nan’s pores were clearly visible.
According to Linlin, a cosmetic consultant, the public’s concept of medical beauty has already changed.
"In the past, women in their 30 s and 40 s were afraid to let their families know when they cut their double eyelids and made a face. They were all secretive when they walked on the road; Now I even have a husband to accompany me, and some projects will be done together. In the past, younger people would do some basic projects behind their parents’ backs. Now there are many parents accompanying them, and they will not reject large-scale medical beauty projects. "
In less than a month, Sheng Nan has been able to generously admit to her friends that she has had plastic surgery. In her opinion, young people of her generation prefer to refer to these behaviors collectively as — — "medical beauty" (medical beauty).
"Being ugly makes me feel worse than being single."
Young faces like Sheng Nan are not uncommon in plastic surgery hospitals. Especially after the summer vacation, the number of students admitted to the hospital increased significantly.

"The student group is special and needs the support of family members." Luan Jie, vice president of Plastic Surgery Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said.
In cosmetic surgery, face-to-face consultation is very important. This link will determine whether it is suitable for fine-tuning and the preliminary plan of surgery. "Many times parents accompany their children to face-to-face consultation, and the two sides may have different opinions on specific details. Therefore, we usually advise parents and children to communicate fully, and the surgery can only be confirmed after both parties agree. "
Lin Xiao did this rhinoplasty operation without telling her family. This is not the first time she has operated. After the third nose repair, the change was particularly obvious because it was European-style, like a different person. "My parents saw it and wouldn’t even let me see my grandparents, for fear that they couldn’t accept the stimulation."
When she was a child, Lin Xiao was very fat, so she was isolated. She was once pointed at and scolded by a person in the street, "a particularly ugly word", and she didn’t know how to deal with it except to go away quickly. From then on, she began to lose weight crazily, and the height of 1.7 meters was just as thin as 80 pounds. "Seriously, after losing weight, although she is not ugly and fat, she is still an ordinary person, which is too far from those counterattack posts on the Internet and too far from what I expected." Lin Xiao looked at a bunch of suitors around other girls. She lost so much weight but still didn’t change anything, so she moved the idea of plastic surgery.

She cut her double eyelids first, then moved her nose. She felt that her nose was not satisfied, so she repaired it twice. She also went to South Korea to make a three-piece outline, and her double eyelids were readjusted. Counting the face-lifting needle and hyaluronic acid, Lin Xiao was already regarded as the "old Jianghu" in the plastic surgery industry.
"Generally, I am satisfied, but of course there are times when I am not satisfied." Lin Xiao didn’t worry about the risk of plastic surgery, the wound couldn’t heal, the flesh and blood couldn’t grow, and it might really be disfigured. During the operation in Korea, she watched the girls covered in gauze, unable to move, and had to insert a catheter for several days, which was really scary. However, with the increase in the number of plastic surgery, Lin Xiao became more and more indifferent. "Everyone is fine. I have experienced it so many times. Anyway, now that medical beauty is so developed, I will adjust it if it doesn’t look good."
"After all, ugliness is terrible!" Because the appearance has been treated unfairly and tasted the sweetness of good-looking, Lin Xiao can no longer be willing to lose these treatments. "Under the same working ability, the company will definitely choose good-looking rather than ugly. And people will be very tolerant of good-looking people, even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven. For ugly people, they will say, you have grown like this, don’t you work hard? Still making mistakes? "
"A gamble of beauty seekers"
Disassembly of the word "Yan value": Yan, appearance; Value, numerical value Invisible, the face value is measured and compared.
Daniel Homer, an American labor economist, pointed out in his article Yan value and labor market that there are both ugly fines and Yan value bonuses in society, and people with high Yan value can get more salary and opportunities.
This concept has become the driving force for some people to accept plastic surgery.

Gege, who is a sophomore, has undergone several cosmetic operations, and she knows the way of plastic surgery hospital very well. Which doctor is good at eye synthesis, which one can cut bones and which one is the most natural for lip augmentation … … These experiences are the result of her practice.
"Some black institutions have deep routines, which will induce consumers. Many people who are addicted to cosmetic surgery are more dependent on the instigation of cosmetic surgery institutions besides the dependence on cosmetic surgery itself." What is even more inconceivable is that "the person who will be double eyelid surgery for you may start his career after only three days of study".
Gege feels that most of the time cosmetic surgery is an adventure. "I don’t know what I will be like, and it is impossible to predict whether it is good or bad." If you don’t want to into the pit, you have to do your homework.
In the waiting area of outpatient surgery in plastic surgery hospital, Gege waited for surgery accompanied by her mother. "Today, I will bury the thread and make a double eyelid. I don’t want to move other parts, such as a high nose, big eyes, a pointed chin and a plump forehead. That’s it ‘ Net red face ’ Well, that’s not me. " Referring to why I want plastic surgery, "I am a part-time graphic model. In this line, I rarely don’t move my knife. Only when I am more beautiful can I have better resources."
Unlike Gege, Sheng Nan is a little white in the field of cosmetic surgery. Although she doesn’t shy away from cosmetic surgery, Sheng Nan admits that she had backed out before the operation. "When I really lie in the hospital bed and the long needle is aimed at myself, my heart is still tight, silently praying that something bad will not happen."
During the facial recovery period, Sheng Nan felt that she had not changed much from the original, but after all this, she thought clearly that beauty depends on her heart.
In Sheng Nan’s sister’s view, Sheng Nan’s facial features are not bad, but she should pay attention to dressing. "Now the makeup technology is so strong, there is really no need for plastic surgery."
Before that, my sister told Sheng Nan that some people with congenital facial deformities would go to plastic surgery hospitals and rely on medical technology to trim their faces. For these people, plastic surgery is a "timely help", but it is not advisable to expect to change their fate just to improve their looks.
"Forced plastic surgery" still owes more than 40,000 yuan in loans.
If it is your right to take the initiative to choose cosmetic surgery, it is ridiculous to be forced to have cosmetic surgery.
Ms. Liu was attracted by an advertisement for "assistant to the general manager": the monthly salary was 12,000 to 20,000, and no work experience was needed. Ms. Liu, the HR director of the recruitment company, interviewed in the conference room on the fifth floor of a hotel outside the South Third Ring Road in Beijing.
"At that time, I decided to stay as his assistant, and then arranged for someone to take me to do a facial lift."
A staff member named "Qian Meng" said that Mr. Shen’s assistant is the facade of the company, so it is necessary to carry out facial lifting and plastic surgery. The expenses will be paid in advance by the parties, and eventually the company will pay.
With confusion, Ms. Liu was taken to a hospital near the Fifth Ring Road in northwest Beijing, and then the hospital gave her a plastic surgery plan to "do facial filling and face-lifting needles on her forehead and temples", which cost more than 40,000 yuan. "Meng Meng" was revealed to Ms. Liu, because "Mr. Shen has cooperated with this hospital and they have a good relationship, so we came to this hospital."
Considering that one month after work, she will earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and Ms. Liu will not care about these conditions. Later, "Meng Meng" operated Ms. Liu’s mobile phone and applied for a small loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic expenses.
The whole operation lasted for several hours, and Ms. Liu kept vomiting after the operation. She found that in addition to the passive knife on her face, she also had injuries on her thighs, and a large piece of meat was missing from her thighs. "It looks terrible, but the dean of the operation said it was all like this."
After so many twists and turns, Ms. Liu wanted to be the assistant of General Shen when she recovered. During this time, the company’s people have also kept in touch with Ms. Liu, asking questions. But when she reported to the new company, she was told that Mr. Shen had left.
"Shen always told me, I’m sorry, I have a little situation here, and I’m going to leave without pay. He said that if I am on the job, the money for cosmetic surgery can be directly given to you, but I am not on the job, and I still owe a debt myself. I have no choice. "
Seeing that the job is going to be yellow, "Manager Shen" said that she can be recommended to another "Manager Yao" in the company.
After a while, another general manager came. "He told me directly. It’s not the same with manager Shen here. I can make money here. I can guarantee that you can earn hundreds of dollars a month. But you have to be particularly open. " Ms. Liu further asked, "What does openness mean?" "It’s just that some customers need to accompany them to drink, which is very easy."
Ms. Liu refused the company’s request. After knowing it, she felt that she had fallen into a recruitment trap, and the loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic surgery could only be repaid slowly by herself.
