The surgical procedure is particularly popular among recent graduates as the shape is considered beneficial in finding a job.

As competition for employment is stiff in China, given the unfortunate combination of millions finishing their education and a slowdown in economic growth, job seekers are looking for any edge they can get.

Unemployment among recent college grads is at about 10 percent, double the nation’s overall jobless rate.

In many cases the cosmetic concerns of those entering the brutally competitive job market aren’t unwarranted.

Some Chinese employers have been known to list physical preferences in their employment advertisements.

Plastic surgeons have capitalized on this by placing targeted advertisements featuring the graceful monument and the ideal nose it inspired throughout many Chinese cities.

One clinic reported plans to up their advertising game by offering an all-expense paid trip to Paris for a handful of lucky patients.

Those undergoing the surgeries are often from affluent backgrounds, with their families covering the tab.
