It is human nature to often be dissatisfied with what we have, especially when it comes to appearance. In order to achieve an ideal appearance, many people resort to various cosmetic procedures. A new trend of cosmetic surgery has emerged to achieve the desired look and feel. Unfortunately, this obsession can sometimes lead to disastrous results.
A similar story has emerged from China where a woman’s attempt to improve her appearance ended in tragedy. Worried about spots and birthmarks on her face, the woman underwent laser treatment at the hospital to enhance her beauty. However, the result was far from what she had hoped for.
The quest to remove the stains becomes tragic.
According to a report of South China Morning PostLiu, a woman from Tianjin, China, died after undergoing laser treatment.
Her husband revealed that she was unhappy with the scars and birthmarks on her body, prompting her to undergo laser treatment at Jinmin Dermatology Hospital. The procedure cost about Rs 12 lakh. Leo’s mother said the treatment caused him significant pain and suffering due to the application of anesthesia.
A fatal outcome
On October 21, during his last treatment session, Leo began to feel unwell after being administered anesthetic cream. She became unconscious, prompting doctors to remove the cream and take her to the hospital. Despite emergency medical care, Liu remained in critical condition for 10 days before succumbing to his condition.
Initial reports suggest the cause of death was overdose, although a forensic report is still awaited. The hospital has said that they will take full responsibility if their negligence is confirmed. The incident has sparked widespread concern on social media, with many highlighting that health should always take priority over beauty.
