4 Dec 2010 - The death of an aspiring Chinese pop singer during plastic surgery has cast an ugly light on an obsession with beauty that sees millions go under the knife in China each year.
Wang Bei, 24, a former contestant on China's answer to American Idol, died on 15 November during "facial bone-grinding surgery" in Wuhan. That Wang even felt she needed to improve her looks has underlined the extent to which cosmetic surgery has taken hold. Her beauty had already made her a popular contestant on the smash TV hit "Super Girl". An "anaesthetic accident" occurred during Wang's procedure at Zhong Ao Cosmetic Surgery Hospital. Wang's jaw suddenly started bleeding during the procedure blocking her windpipe and causing her to suffocate. Surging demand for cosmetic surgery has led to untrained doctors carrying out operations, Zhang Hua-bin, a professor of plastic surgery at Guangdong Medical College said.
