Yang Min, 22, poses with a photo which shows her look before plastic surgery, in northwestern Xi'an on September 24, 2006.

Yang Min has undergone a series of 26 plastic surgeries in the past five months, including 12 on her face and three on her breasts.

Many of Yang Min's acquaintances said she had changed dramatically and has "come out much more beautiful."

The hospital, which performed the surgeries, paid the medical costs of 500,000 yuan in exchange for her signing a five-year contract asking her to endorse their medical services.
