Bungled double eyelid job leaves China woman with blurred vision, hair loss
- Woman wakes from double eyelid surgery, discovers surgeon’s horrific blunder, suffers physical pain, mental anguish
A woman in China has been left traumatised after her eyeball was sewn to the corner of her eye during a botched cosmetic surgery which left her with blurred vision, hair loss and depression.
On August 17, the woman, surnamed Zhang, from Weifang, Shandong province in eastern China, told Sohu Video about the bungled operation.
She underwent the double eyelid surgery at the Weifang Kuiwen Lirendu Medical Beauty Clinic in 2021. It cost her about 30,000 yuan (US$4,200).
Zhang explained that during the operation, she felt discomfort in her eyes and later discovered that her left eyeball and the corner of that eye had been stitched together.
“In November 2021, I underwent 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,” Zhang said.
“After the stitches were removed, I noticed a threadlike connection between my eyeball and the corner. The surgeon, hospital director Wang, assured me it was nothing serious and offered me another operation to separate them.”
