In the recent past, blunders have been seen in cosmetic surgery in many countries of the world. That is, the chances of a perfect surgery are very less. Sometimes people tried to improve the shape of their lips but the shape got spoiled, while sometimes someone tried to enlarge their cheeks but they became too big. The latest case from China is probably the most horrific till date.
The asymmetry of the corners of the eyes had to be corrected
In 2021, Zhang, a resident of Weifang, Shandong, China, underwent double eyelid surgery at the Weifang Kuiwen Lirendu Medical Beauty Clinic to correct the asymmetry of the corners of her eyes. The woman claims that she felt discomfort during the actual surgery. After the surgery, she discovered that her left eyeball and the corner of that eye were sewn together.
At first the doctor who operated on her told her everything was fine, but then Zhang began to have blurred vision and decreased eye movement. Two years after attempts to correct the problem, she is still struggling with physical and mental problems.
‘Connection between the pupil of the eye and the corner’
Zhang recently told Sohu Video, ‘In November 2021, I had double eyelid surgery because the outer corners of my eyes were uneven. The doctor said he would make some adjustments, but when he was stitching, I felt discomfort in my eyeball. After the stitches were removed, I saw a thread-like connection between my eyeball and the corner.
The surgeon, hospital director Wang, assured me that it was nothing serious and offered me another operation to separate them. Unfortunately, the second operation was unsuccessful. As a result, my left eye became swollen. A week after the procedure, the pupil and the corner of the eye were joined together once again.’
The condition worsened so much that she went into depression
She further said that ‘since then the vision in my left eye has become blurred and I can only move my eyes sideways by shaking my head.’ Now Zhang wants to undergo corrective surgery at a hospital in Shanghai, but she does not have the money. She has reportedly gone into depression due to this condition.
‘Others should not make this mistake’
Zhang claims that she paid 30,000 yuan ($4,200 – about Rs 3.52 lakh) to the beauty clinic for the surgery, which she asked for back after the botched procedure. But, the doctor who operated on her refused to return the full amount. Instead, she was offered only 1.17 lakh and was assured that her problem was minor and could be cured with another surgery. The woman claims that the doctor has not returned this money yet. She said she came up with her story so that others do not make the same mistake.
Let us tell you that double eyelid surgery is a very popular cosmetic procedure in China, but if done incorrectly, its consequences can be terrible. A similar case came to light 5 years ago in which a Chinese woman became unable to close her eyes completely after double eyelid surgery.
