Eye‑Topping Tale: The Cost of a Cosmetic Cut‑over
When a Simple Fix Turns Into a Gone‑Wrong Gig
In the bustling city of Hefei, a woman paid 12,800 yuan (about $2,500) for a routine eyelid lift that was meant to give her a sleek double‑eyelid look. Instead, she ended up with a nightmare that saw her unable to close her eyes—leaving her vision blurry and forcing her to roll her eyes upward just to get a bit of sleep.
The Playbook: Two Quick‑Turnaround Operations
After the first procedure left her unsatisfied, the clinic offered a “second look” fix. Li stomped out the help, refusing another surgery. She slammed back, “They didn’t do a good job. They made me look worse, not better.” Despite her protests, the clinic remained firm, claiming her condition was typical after two consecutive operations, citing that the scars from both had fused together because the second surgery was done too soon.
Seeking Justice (and a Refund)
Li demanded a full refund and compensation for future recovery costs. After some back‑and‑forth, the clinic agreed to pay her 30,000 yuan (approximately $5,800). Though it won’t erase the awkward staring she now has to endure, it at least keeps her able to pass through facial‑recognition scanners.
Takeaway
When it comes to cosmetic surgery, a quick fix can sometimes become a costly flop. And, hey—remember to read the fine print before committing to a second surgery, or you might just end up with a pair of eyes that can’t even perform their basic job.
