When it comes to beauty surgical procedures, Chinese women are twice big spender than their global peers, according to a report based on a survey by Insight Engineers.

The market research consultancy from United Kingdom says that Chinese women spent the equivalent of about 581 yuan. According to the report, it's more than twice the global average of about 254 yuan. This is also considered higher than the second group on the list; women from South Korea.

"Chinese women are displaying an increasing interest in a range of surgical procedures, mainly to look prettier, rather than fighting aging, which may help explain why the population of plastic surgery patients in the country is much younger than in other places," Wang Danru, a plastic surgeon from No 9 People's Hospital affiliated to the medical college at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said.

"The report also said that 74 percent of Chinese respondents associate beauty directly with facial appearance, the highest of all surveyed countries. The biggest concern for Chinese women is flabby skin and crow's feet-the little wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, one media source noted.

"The survey interviewed 7,700 "aesthetically aware" women from 16 countries, who were between 18 and 65 years of age," it has added.

"Asian women spend the most on skincare. 3 Chinese women spend an average of €80 a month, South Korean women spend €60, and Thai women spend €45, versus the global average of €35. 3," the report study claimed. "As women take control of their appearance, there has been a shift in the role that facial fillers play in helping women to look and feel like the best version of themselves."

"I would say Chinese patients are the most dramatic," said Woffles Wu, a prominent plastic surgeon in Singapore. His clinic receives 30 to 40 patients from China every month. A few years ago, the number was in single digits, he said.

"Some patients come with no financial limit and just want to achieve the best possible results they can. They are willing to fly back and forth again and again," he said.
