South Korea is one of the world’s most popular destinations for medical tourism, canvassing foreign patients in the past decade, the bulk of whom come from China and the United States, data provider Statista says.

數據提供網站Statista指出，南韓是全球最熱門醫療旅遊目的地之一，過去10年吸引外國患者，其中大部分來自中國和美國。

"In recent years, many foreigners have come to South Korea for cosmetic surgery, and some people have been involved in medical disputes and surgical failures and even deaths have occurred," the Chinese embassy said in a note to the public.

「近年許多外國人到南韓做整形手術，有些人發生醫療糾紛、手術失敗，甚至死亡事件」，中國大使館在一份公告中說。

"If there is a major change in (your) postoperative appearance, or if you are still in the postoperative recovery stage, you should bring the surgical certificate when you leave the country," the embassy added.

「如果（你的）術後容貌發生較大變化，或者你還在術後恢復期，離開該國時應該攜帶手術證明」，大使館還說道。

Such a precaution would help avoid complications with check-in or subsequent entry and exit procedures, it said. (Reuters)

聲明說，這類預防措施將有助於避免對辦理登機，或者後續出入境手續的影響。
