Actress's Plastic Surgery Nightmare Costs Her Acting Jobs And So Much More

Chinese actress Gao Liu made headlines for her nightmare plastic surgery story that turned the tip of her nose blackened with dead flesh.

Prior to her nose job, she wished to have a “micro-adjustment” to graft cartilage onto the tip of her nose. However, after going to an unlicensed plastic surgeon, she could have never predicted what kind of results she would get.

The tip of her nose became infected and required various follow-up appointments, resulting in a patch of blackened dead flesh on the tip of her nose.

She shared photos on Weibo, warning netizens of the rare potential danger one may face by undergoing plastic surgery, especially by choosing an unlicensed doctor.

She revealed that the aftermath of the surgery damaged her career by costing her various acting jobs and even left her with suicidal thoughts. She initially refused to leave her months for the first few months after her surgery.

Additionally, the dead flesh on the tip of her nose has scabbed and fallen off multiple times. Doctors also had to remove a piece of cartilage to save the remainder of her nose.

Multiple doctors informed Gao Liu that it’s impossible for her to ever completely recover. However, she can likely heal her nose to 70-80% back to normal in time.
