The South China Morning Post (SCMP) recently reported that a Chinese woman who had undergone more than 100 plastic surgeries at a cost of 700 million won from the age of 13 to 19 stopped the surgery after her doctor warned her, “If I do any more, I could die.” .
According to reports, Zhou Chuna (19, female), from Zhejiang Province, China, began to become obsessed with plastic surgery when she was thirteen, admiring a Chinese actor.
During his school years, he felt anxious and depressed about his appearance, and was told by family, relatives, and friends that he “didn’t look like his attractive mother.” He also became obsessed with feelings of inferiority and jealousy at the thought that his school friends were prettier and more confident than him, so he decided to improve his appearance.
When he turned 13, his parents allowed him to have double eyelid surgery for the first time. From this point on, he gradually became addicted to plastic surgery. He even dropped out of the international school he was attending because of the surgery.
So far, I have had over 100 plastic surgeries. The total cost of the surgery was 4 million yuan (about 740 million won). All expenses had to be borne by the parents.
“I’ve had every plastic surgery you can think of, including bone grafting,” he said. He underwent over 10 hours of surgery, stayed in bed for 15 days, and received only intravenous fluids.
After having had eye surgery more than 10 times, the doctor tried to dissuade him by saying he could no longer open his eyes wide, but he ignored this. When even the doctor refused to perform the surgery, he visited every plastic surgery clinic in Shanghai and looked for a new doctor.
Her friends gradually began to not recognize her face, and even her parents got to the point where they denied saying no when asked, ‘Is she your daughter?’ His ID card was also changed several times.
In the end, he said, “I can’t do surgery anymore. The surgery was stopped only after hearing a warning from a doctor at an aesthetic hospital that “if I continue, there is a risk of muscle spasms, facial nerve failure, and brain damage due to overuse of anesthetics.”
It is reported that he has already experienced side effects such as vision problems, memory loss, and mental confusion.
As this woman’s story became known, reactions emerged online saying, “She is a poor girl” and “What she needs is not a ‘plastic face’ but ‘Learn to love yourself,'” the SCMP added.
