Woman endures 6cm scar on chin due to botched fat-transfer plastic surgery procedure in China
In the city of Nanjing, Jiangsu province, a woman named Ding is pursuing a compensation claim of one million yuan from a cosmetic surgery clinic. The claim stems from a botched chin repair procedure performed at the Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute, located in the same province.
Ding's journey began several years ago when she underwent a fat-grafting operation on her face in South Korea, which resulted in facial swelling. She then sought relief with a facial liposuction surgery at a clinic in Beijing, which provided some alleviation. However, in February this year, Ding decided to undergo a chin repair surgery at the Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute, which boasts patents for chin repair procedures. The surgery cost 20,000 yuan (approximately US$3,000).
Three days after the surgery, Ding developed massive blisters on her chin. A doctor at the Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute told Ding that the blisters were normal and provided her with ointment. However, the situation worsened, leading to severe emotional distress and a lawsuit for compensation.
Despite the institute's claims, the chin repair surgery did not adequately address Ding's concerns. The surgery has left her with a six-centimetre-long scar on her chin, for which she is now seeking treatment.
The Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute's botched procedure has become a high-profile case in China, with no further updates available on the legal proceedings or any developments in Ding's case beyond the initial lawsuit. The institute's failure to deliver on its promise to return Ding's chin to its original appearance has raised questions about the safety and effectiveness of cosmetic surgery procedures in the country.
Ding's case serves as a reminder for potential cosmetic surgery patients to thoroughly research clinics and surgeons before undergoing any procedures. It also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the cosmetic surgery industry.
- Ding's pursuit of a compensation claim is not limited to the botched chin repair surgery; she is also seeking therapies and treatments for her skin care, considering the long-term effects on her chin.
- In light of Ding's medical-conditions and emotional distress following the cosmetic surgery, it would be prudent for health-and-wellness enthusiasts to also consider the importance of psychological well-being in fitness-and-exercise routines, nutrition, and overall well-being.
- The Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute's failure in delivering the promised results has sparked broader discussions on the need for stricter regulations, transparency, and accountability in the field of science, particularly in the development and implementation of chin repair procedures, therapies, and treatments.
