3 women stranded at Airport because their passports don’t match their faces after plastic surgery

Three Chinese women allegedly got stranded at South Korean airport, because their passports no longer match their faces after undergoing plastic surgery.

Social media is replete with photos of the three Chinese women.

Women from across the world including those from other Asian countries, like China and Japan, regularly fly to South Korea to get work done on their faces, ostensibly because South Korean plastic surgery clinics have gained repute as some of the best in the world.

It is becoming a challenge because most of them do not stop at nose jobs, face lifts and Botox injections.

They prefer to completely alter their faces, making it difficult for airport personnel to identify them from their passport photos.

According to reports, some South Korean clinics issue “plastic surgery certificates” to overseas clients, to help them convince immigration officers about their identity. These certificates include the patient’s passport number, the duration of stay, the name and location of the hospital and the hospital’s official seal.

Travelers passing through airport customs with these plastic surgery certificates are usually identified by whatever facial features were left unchanged by plastic surgeons, and while the person-to-passport verification takes a lot longer, people are usually allowed through.

However, despite the said certificates, the three Chinese women trying to return from South Korea got stranded because the airport officials had difficulties matching their faces to the photos on their passports.

It is unfortunate that the three Chinese women did not take into consideration the fact that, with facial plastic surgery, the body needs some time to recover from the procedure. They moved to the airport after they had spent their recent Golden Week holiday getting their faces remodelled.

They showed up at the airport with their faces extremely swollen and wrapped in bandages, and it was virtually impossible for immigration officers to identify them by their passport photos.

A photo of the three women waiting in the airport with passports in hand has been doing the rounds on social media, and sparking numerous humorous comments from users.

One person wrote, “With faces so swollen, even your own mother wouldn’t be able to recognise you.”

Another one user also said, “Forgive me, I don’t mean to laugh but their faces are really so swollen.”
