Feeling uncomfortable with the way you look is one thing that most people out there can relate to. Whether it's an oversized nose, excess tummy fat or pointy ears, everyone has that one thing that they're just not happy with.
Nevertheless, with the rise of plastic surgery, we no longer have to suffer in silence and can
However, as awful as hating the way you look is, there's one thing worse: botched plastic surgery.
This truth was epitomized when one brave patient posted a horrific photo of a silicone implant poking through her skin after her nose job went horribly wrong.
The unidentified woman reportedly shared images of the nightmarish mishap to send a warning out to others considering surgery at the Thailand establishment
where she was a patient.
According to news sources, the unnamed woman went under the knife in Thailand's southern city of Hat Yai, hoping that a rhinoplasty would give her a more pronounced
nose. Although all seemed well at first after the procedure, it later became clear that the cheap surgery was going to cause more problems than it solved.
The woman began suffering from infections and later noticed
inflammation around the area of her face where the surgery had taken place. Soon after, the silicone implant began to poke through the top of her damaged nose in between her eyes. Shocking pictures shared by the unnamed victim show that she was eventually left with a crater where the implant used to be.
Allegedly, the surgery where the woman had her original operation told local media it "took no responsibility" for the disastrous
nose job and "refused to help her" after the extent of her condition was revealed.
Eventually, the woman is said to have turned to medical professionals near Thailand's capital of Bangkok for help. Reportedly, one plastic surgery hospital in
the popular tourist destination
provided her with treatment
to have the implant removed at no extra cost. Nonetheless, it remains unclear how the medics plan to repair her botched nose job.
At the moment, it is unclear whether that victim is planning on taking legal action against the
surgery in Hat Yai, which is near the Malaysian border. However, the story is likely to act as a harrowing reminder for others who plan to get plastic surgery to research the establishment they are visiting and double check that it is reputable and safe.
It is far from the first time that plastic surgery has gone horribly awry in Thailand. Despite thousands of tourists flying out there to undergo inexpensive cosmetic operations each year, there are endless horror stories in the news of surgery going badly wrong. For example, British woman Joy Williams died when her wounds became infected after undergoing buttock augmentation surgery. Her doctor Sompob Sansiri was later charged with recklessly causing her death and the SP Clinic where he worked was shut down.
This woman's gruesome story shows that, although plastic surgery often works miracles, it is sometimes a massive gamble and you never quite know what you're going to end up with. We wish this woman the best of luck and hope she gets the surgery she deserves soon.
