Definition
整容 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to undergo cosmetic surgery' — the noun 容 ('appearance') can split from 整 ('to fix') to insert measure words, duration, or other modifiers, as in 整了几次容. The word also has a casual sense 'to spruce up' (e.g., getting a haircut or dressing neatly), but in HSK 7 contexts it almost always refers to medical aesthetic procedures like a face-lift or rhinoplasty.
