That is the case of patient L.P.T. who was just received by the Cosmetic Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City with terrible complications after cosmetic eyelid surgery. March 25, Dr. Dr. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung, Director of the hospital, said: “This is a very painful case where the window to the patient’s soul was dissected many times and sewn together like a “car patch” causing the eyes to roll back. Eyelashes were painful and covered with scars for a year.”
Taking the doctor’s medical history from the patient’s side, it was known that as she grew older, her eyes began to show signs of aging, with excess drooping and tired eyelids. She went to a Spa in Binh Duong to take care of her. skin care. Here, the facility introduces an effective eyelid surgery method to treat aging conditions performed by a “doctor” from Saigon.
Believing the patient’s facility, he decided to spend money to have surgery. However, a few days after the eyelid surgery, the patient began to show many unusual symptoms, always in a state of rolling back, red eyes, and continuous tears. span>
The patient’s hope of getting rid of drooping eyelids and regaining her youthful features disappeared after the surgery made her eyes look like “” “ghost eyes” makes her feel self-conscious. On the other hand, this condition also seriously affects health. As soon as you step out on the street and there is a bit of wind, the patient will shed tears and experience burning pain. The upper eyelid is large and pale, causing the eyes to constantly feel tired and lethargic.
To fix the problem, the patient came to the Spa for help. After checking, the facility “put out the fire” by cutting the inner corner of the eye to roll the eyelid. However, the facility’s “bringing firefighting oil” has caused increasingly serious consequences for the patient, causing both of them to suffer from more severe eyelid drooping.
The spa did not stop there and placed thread from the forehead down to the nose to pull up the eye skin. When performing the method on the Spa basis, the patient is advised that the type of thread used will dissolve on its own, but after more than a year of performing the technique, this thread remains intact, causing a triangular scar to appear in the middle of the patient’s forehead. The female patient choked up: “I had my eyes operated on over and over again by Spa, and even my lower eyelids were patched together like a car tire. Every time they repaired it, my condition got worse and worse.” >
After examining the patient, Dr. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung commented that the terrible complications that patients encounter not only affect aesthetics but also directly affect health. Patients who sleep cannot close their eyes completely when bathing, cannot prevent water from flowing into their eyes and going out into the street. They cannot blink their eyelids often because they dry out and cannot block dust, so they often suffer from conjunctivitis and keratitis, which directly affects them. Next comes vision and quality of life.
To restore Functional recovery and aesthetic reconstruction of the patient’s eye area is quite a big challenge for the surgical team. The first step is for the surgeon to treat the eye roll to reduce inflammation in the patient. “It is expected that we will lift the external zygomatic muscle and close the angle of the inner tarsal muscle and remove all the stitches in the forehead area. After the first step, the patient needs at least 6 months to 1 year to recover before entering the treatments. cosmetic surgery to restore relatively normal eyes” – Dr. Tu Dung said.
< span style="font-weight:400">In addition to the above case, Dr. Tu Dung said that 3 days ago we received a similar case, a female patient living in Binh Thuan who also had eyelid surgery at an advertised Spa. The expert just returned from studying in Saigon. The patient had his entire upper eyelid cut off by a cosmetic “executioner”, causing his eyes to roll back, and surgery to correct the patient encountered many difficulties.
From the above cases, he warned that the situation of “impersonating” cosmetic doctors and disregarding the patient’s life is taking place. occurs in many localities from big cities to small provinces. For profit, those who do cosmetic surgery are causing very serious consequences for patients and are corroding the true value of cosmetic surgery to beautify the community.
According to Dr. Tu Dung: “In less than 1 month, I have received many treatments. The most memorable cases of complications due to beauty treatments at spas or “underground” cosmetic surgery are victims with holes in their chest due to the surgeon forgetting medical gauze or cases of buttock necrosis due to self-injection of filler, and there are many more cases. In cases where patients are hospitalized in a state of pain and suffering just because they put their trust in the wrong place, people who want to beautify themselves need to be more vigilant and go to reputable cosmetic hospitals to avoid losing money and suffering.< /span>
