China has staged a Miss Ugly contest a week before it hosts the Miss World competition, a report said yesterday.

Fifty women competed in the contest for the facially challenged in Shanghai, which had as its top prize plastic surgery worth 100,000 yuan ($A16,500).

Zhang Di, 26, won on the basis that her appearance would most benefit from plastic surgery, the Sunday Morning Post said.

"My small eyes, flat nose and poor skin have been such a burden to me that I have no self-confidence," she said.

The manager of the plastic surgery centre that will treat her promised to make her "a totally different girl" within two weeks. More than 100 of the world's most beautiful women are in China for the finals of the Miss World contest on December 6 on Hainan Island.

Plastic surgery has boomed in China as prosperity has increased in recent years. One woman, Hao Lulu, made nationwide headlines this year when she had six months of plastic surgery costing 300,000 yuan ($A50,000) to improve her looks and prospects of getting a job.

[Jared Katooie]

Ah, but is it the fault of the contest for presenting the opportunity or the females who choose to be part of it?

[Dudley]

The desperation of these women for plastic surgery, was that Bou?  Not terribly feminist, is it?

Sez Dudley, who's actually had cosmetic surgery, but wouldn't have gone up in public to plead for the chance...
