(Shenyang = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cha Byeong-seop = A Chinese actress complained that she suffered a necrosis of the skin at the tip of her nose as a side effect after nose plastic surgery.

According to Chinese media such as Hongseong Shinmun on the 5th, Ga Oryu (高溜) recently posted photos and articles informing him of his damage situation through his Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter).

Mr. Gao said, “A friend told me that all of them were pretty, but the nose was a little bit bad,” he said. He visited a hospital in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, at the end of last year, and said that he received consultation and had surgery.

Mr. Gao underwent rhinoplasty using the rib cartilage and the ear cartilage, but the results were unsuccessful.

In addition, side effects such as inflammation and necrosis occurred in the rejection reaction, so he received reoperation twice, but the condition did not improve.

As the situation became more serious, such as the tip of the nose gradually turning black, the hospital eventually moved Mr. Gao to another hospital in early November for treatment.

Mr. Gao later learned that the place he operated on was registered as a medical device beauty clinic, not a plastic surgery clinic, and that plastic surgery using rib cartilage was not possible.

Mr. Gao said, “I signed a contract to go to the 2nd drama, but because of the side effects of the operation, I lost 400,000 yuan (about 6943 million won) in the appearance fee. I have to pay a penalty of 2 million yuan (about 34.716 million won).” I sued this clinic.”

Guangzhou’s local authorities said they were watching and investigating the case.

The doctor who is currently treating Mr. Gao said in a recent interview with the Hongseong Newspaper, “Infection generally occurs because of poor disinfection during surgery.” He said.

Mr. Gao’s story became a hot topic online in China, and the number of views on the hashtag related to Mr. Gao’s name on Weibo was over 130 million times.

Netizens left comments such as “Even though the celebrity suffered a medical accident, it would have been more severe if the hospital was this much, but it would have been more severe if it were a general public.”

According to the state media Global Times, as of 2019, there were 10,000 formal plastic surgery clinics across China, while more than 60,000 unqualified clinics were reported, and about 40,000 medical accidents per year occurred at an average of 110 cases per day at unqualified clinics. .
