For students, winter vacation is a good time for a facelift

SHANGHAI: Spring Festival is a time for family reunions. But for some college students hoping to stand a better chance of getting a job in an increasingly competitive market, the long holiday affords an opportunity to brush up on one's looks through plastic surgery.

That is why Liu Chunlong, medical director and CEO of the private Tian Art Plastic Surgeries Hospital, expects a booming business.

"We usually perform plastic surgery on about 20 students each month. But during winter vacations, the figure is five times more," he said.
