A little botox and a nosejob is kid’s play for married Chinese women who are getting plastic surgery on the level of mobsters in the witness protection program.

Members of the smooth-sounding and oh-so-subtle “Rich Lady South Korean Plastic Surgery Group” leave the country for South Korea (as mentioned in the clumsy name of the group) but they’ve had problems coming back into the country because of their radically altered appearance.

No, they’re not being confused as Michael Jackson (too early?) — but these ladies are hardcore about their store-bought hotness, ready for another slice and dice trip despite returning to China scarred and bandaged. The troubles with customs officials and the price did not dissuade these women from extolling the universal message of pain making you beautiful.

“I just finished getting a nose job the day before, and I haven’t even taken out the stitches yet,” one of the women said. “I love to be beautiful, it’s everybody’s right. We’ve known for a while that South Korea’s plastic surgeons are supposed to be great, so my friends and I went to check it out.”
