Currently many metropolises in China vie with each other to hold Miss "Artificial Beauty" contests. The Plastic Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Doctors Association and Shunde Oriental Gynecological Hospital jointly held the first Miss "Artificial Beauty" contest in Shunde, Guangdong Province on December 3, which has attracted hundreds of girls from all parts of China.

The organizers require that all participants must have taken face-lifting surgeries. The winners of the contest will be announced on February 8, 2007, who will be awarded tens of thousands of yuan.

Judges of the contest are experts from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College and Peking University No. 3 Hospital.

The organizers also plan to give free face-lifting surgery to those participants.
