I Never Knew,

that South Korea was famous,

 for amongst other things, facial plastic surgery, but it is, the problem is that a few of the visitors for surgery stop at nose jobs, face lifts and Botox injections, instead, they completely remodel their faces, making it difficult for airport personnel to identify them from their passport photo, so much so that clinics offer “plastic surgery certificates” to overseas clients, to help them convince immigration officers that they are who they say they are, 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, the problem with facial plastic surgery is that the body needs some time to recover from the procedure, something that three ladies who had spent their recent Golden Week holiday getting their faces enhanced did not take into consideration, 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,

and this is what immigration officials have to consider when looking at passport pictures, hopefully the swelling will by now have gone down and the ladies are now back home sharing their good looks.
