The clinic will not pay to repair the damage.
Koreaboo
A woman’s botched plastic surgery left her with lasting scars — both physically and emotionally.
The Chinese woman, identified by her last name Zhangunderwent double eyelid surgery for about 30,000 yuan ($4,210 USD) in Weifang Kuiwen Lirendu Medical Beauty Clinic in 2021. Double blepharoplasty, also called “Asian blepharoplasty,” involves the creation of an eyelid crease, which can be surgically achieved with a full incision, partial incision, or no incision.
Depending on the patient and their needs, the procedure may include fat removal, excision of excess eyelid skin, or epicanthoplasty (widening of the corners of the eyes). Zhang opted to have double eyelid surgery to make her eyes even.
In November 2021, I underwent double eyelid surgery because the outer corners of my eyes were uneven.

According to her report South China Morning Postnetizens have called the results of Zhang’s surgery both “fearful“and”a miracle“–As in, it’s a wonder Zhang didn’t go blind.
“The doctor said he would make some adjustments,” Zhang said. “But when they sewed, I felt discomfort in my eyeball.” To her shock, she discovered that the surgeon had stitched the outer corner of her left eye to her eyeball.
After the stitches were removed, I noticed a thread connection between my eyeball and the corner. The surgeon, the director of Wang Hospital, assured me that it was nothing serious and suggested another operation to separate them.

After the operation, the hospital director downplayed the severity of Zhang’s surgical results, telling her that they were “Nothing serious.Soon her eye suffered from inflammation, pain, limited movement and blurred vision. She is now dependent on daily eye drops and cannot move her left eye to look sideways. The surgery also affected Zhang’s mental health. she has stress-induced hair loss and struggles with depression.
When Zhang tried to get the clinic to pay for her corrective surgery, which she wanted to have at a larger hospital in Shanghai, she encountered resistance.
I told Wang I couldn’t go on like this, but he insisted it was a simple operation that could be done in Weifang for just 1,000-2,000 yuan ($140-$280 USD).
He said, “If you’re uncomfortable, go ahead and get it done. If not, just leave it as is.’

Zhang’s request for a full refund was denied. Instead, Director Wang she offered to refund a third of her payment. Years have passed, but Zhang still hasn’t received any of her money back.
I asked for 30,000 yuan back, but he said it was too much. He offered only 10,000 yuan (US$1,403), which would not even cover my travel expenses to Shanghai. He also kept delaying payment and now two years have passed.

Unfortunately, Zhang’s botched plastic surgery isn’t the only one.
