Chinese blogger was criticized for sharing about “goblin ear” surgery. “Goblin ears help me look a lot younger. With the elongated earlobes, my face becomes smaller, the lines are more elegant,” Chen shared. Chen’s story quickly caused a great controversy when many people believed that the female blogger’s shares were promoting a beauty trend that was weird, toxic and dangerous to health. Li Zhengyong, deputy director of the Department of Aesthetics and Burns, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, said that “goblin ear” actually refers to a birth defect in the ear. A person with normal ears who wants to have surgery to become “goblin ears” will have to take cartilage from several places on the body to cover the earlobe. “This type of surgery can cause dangerous complications, and the consequences are unpredictable,” Dr. Li said. Not only doing “goblin ear” surgery, Chinese young people also follow many strange beauty trends to achieve “body perfection”. Another controversial cosmetic trend recently is cutting nerves to have slim calves. In an interview on May 20, Dr. Zeng Chun, Deputy Director of the Department of Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine, Affiliated Hospital 3 of Southern Medical University, said he was shocked when he heard that a girl had died. get rid of some nerves in your legs to make your calves look leaner.

According to information shared from these service providers, customers will have some less important nerves removed in the calf, gradually the muscles will be weak and atrophy, helping to make the legs smaller and straighter. Doctor Zheng Chun explained that to treat a broken bone is quite easy, but once the nerve is damaged, there is a high chance that it cannot be restored. Zheng also asserts that no nerve is considered less important in the body. On Good Doctor Online, a girl who has performed this surgery said that two months after the operation, she still could not walk normally, her legs were numb, and she could not stand on her feet. She was worried, scared and asked the doctor if there was any way to fix it. However, she could not find an answer. Many netizens expressed frustration when many girls still believe in unscientific surgery because they want to have a perfect appearance and harm themselves. On the other hand, bloggers sharing about the “calf block” method also received a lot of criticism when creating a malicious trend.

Master, Doctor Nguyen Dinh Quan – Head of Plastic Surgery and Rehabilitation – Central Dermatology Hospital, said he has received many serious complications when doing ear piercing. According to Master Quan, the need for beauty is always present in everyone, but for people under the age of 18, it is best not to have cosmetic intervention, except in cases where there are physical defects that need to be repaired early to be able to normal development. Master Quan advises clients. The case of Nguyen Thu Anh (15 years old, Thai Binh city) was taken to the hospital by his parents when his ear was swollen like a bunch of figs. According to Thu Anh’s parents, she hid her parents to a barber shop to press 3 more holes in her ear. After finishing the press, Thu Anh got an infection and took anti-inflammatory drugs, but the pressurized ear points were still swollen and spread like a bunch of figs. Her entire ear rim was deformed. Doctors must perform plastic surgery on the ear for Thu Anh. Dr. Quan said this is just one of the many cases where children press their ears leading to complications. In particular, many people think that ear piercing does not bleed, so they choose to press in unsafe places, even through people who go for a walk. Dr. Quan said that when he punched the earlobe area, the rate of complications as above happened less often, but when pressing the earlobe cartilage, the risk of infection is very high. The cause may be that the earplug is not hygienic or the ear piercing care is incorrect, leading to infection. Concerned that young people will fall into an ‘aesthetic trap’ Master Quan heartily told about the case of a 16-year-old female student in Yen Bai determined to lift her nose because she was criticized. When seeing a spa advertising nose lift with filler only 2 million, this female student nodded in agreement. As a result, after injecting the filler, the female student suffered from blindness complications and currently, eyesight cannot be reversed. Master Quan said there are complications that can be corrected, but there are complications that cannot. Not only that, many young people love to beauty, but because they have no economy, they fall into beauty salons to recruit samples for free testing. Being both beautiful and free of money or just losing a small amount can expose many teenagers to unforeseen risks. Teens are often unaware of the long-term consequences and pay less attention to the risks of invasive beauty treatments because they simply think that surgery will be beautiful. Many young people think that cosmetic surgery is like a miracle that can quickly turn them from an ugly girl to a princess or have the beauty of a bright and beautiful movie star. This will make young people look for under-the-top plastic surgery facilities, leading to the risk of major complications. They will fall into cheap aesthetic traps, finding models for apprentices. Master Quan emphasized that it is best not to abuse cosmetic interventions. Teen girls just need to use lipstick, sunscreen, acne treatment.

Illustration. A case of complications due to cosmetic procedures at the facility is not guaranteed by the Central Dermatology Hospital, patient Nguyen Thu A. (15 years old, Thai Binh city) was taken to the hospital by his parents when the ear ring. swelling like a bunch of figs. According to Thu A.’s parents, she hid her parents to a barber shop to press 3 more holes in her ear. After finishing the press, Thu Anh got an infection and took anti-inflammatory drugs, but the pressurized ear points were still swollen and spread like a bunch of figs.

Dr. Quan told more about the case of a 16-year-old female student in Yen Bai determined to lift her nose because she was criticized. When seeing a spa advertising nose lift with filler only 2 million, this female student nodded in agreement. As a result, after injecting the filler, the female student suffered from blindness complications and currently, eyesight cannot be reversed. Dr. Quan said, there are complications that can be repaired, but there are complications that cannot be. A trend in the past few years, seemingly just a simple procedure, but also caused many people to experience complications shared by doctors, it is the trend of eye opening, thanks to intervention from dialysis technology. modern beauty to make the eye angle bigger and more beautiful Dr. Nguyen Huu Quang, Deputy Head of Plastic Surgery and Rehabilitation Department, Central Dermatology Hospital said, he met quite a few patients with complications when opening the corner of his eye. For example, the case of Nguyen Thanh H (29 years old, in Hanoi) is the victim of eye opening. H has small eyes, obeying the invitation on facebook of a newly opened salon, so he came here to open the corner of his eyes. This facility does not have a specialist doctor but an expert with experience specializing in performing professional ophthalmic shaping surgeries. H. assigned his eyes to this specialist for surgery. As a result, after opening the corner of the eye, this specialist has turned Ms. H’s eyes into “flying pigeon eyes”, scarred in the lower eyelids of the two sides. Not only is the angle of the eye not wide open, but also looks like a person who is out of sight. Associate Professor Do Quang Hung, former Head of Plastic Surgery Department, Cho Ray Hospital, said that he regularly receives cases of cosmetic surgery damage at the spa. Most recently, a patient found him in a state of severely damaged face due to cosmetic surgery on face stretch combo, eye opening at a spa in Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai. The patient said before that, listening to people sharing the corner of her eyes to create big, deep eyes that attract people to look, so she asked for advice. It is advised to stretch the facial skin due to sagging facial skin, the face is not elegant. Sounding too tempting, this woman put her faith in the spa. As a result, at home, the corner of the eye is widened but is opened upside down, the white part is much exposed. Frightened customers go to the hospital to seek help from a doctor. Not only the broken eye angle, but the entire ear scar due to facial stretching is also severely complicated, forming a large, long scar line. Associate Professor Hung said that these complications like this are very time-consuming and of course the cosmetic effect cannot be as high as at first. In fact, a number of cases have all been caused by complications in underground medical facilities. From the people to the performers, they consider it just a simple procedure, so blatantly doing in spas, ineligible cosmetic facilities lead to serious consequences.

The patient said that she had a thin, small ear, so when she saw the information of an online spa advertised on the Internet, she “changed her luck” with winged words: “Injecting Tai fortune – receiving fortune at the beginning of the year” ; “Tai fortune, feng shui, good money” … Accompanied by a clip of a woman under 5 minutes of injecting fillers at this cosmetic facility has turned thin ears, flipped ears out into thick, full ears with beautiful round ears. Right after that, she decided to do it too. Here she is injected with each ear 1ml filler according to the advertisement as “genuine Korean goods, genuine portable”. A few hours after the injection, her ears showed signs of tightness and redness. The condition became worse when two days later, the woman’s ears were swollen, and it hurt just to touch. At this time, the patient checked the facility they made and discovered that the person who injected the filler was not a doctor but a hotgirl who had never had a school day through a cosmetologist training class. “Through examination, I found that the patient showed signs of organized necrosis (entire earlobe, earlobe). The reason is that the patient’s initial ear is quite small but the “fake plastic surgeon” has injected too many fillers. We have to prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and dissolve injections to save the patient’s ear tissue necrosis ”- TS. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan information. Cosmetic experts say that injecting filler into the ear is a non-surgical beauty method, but the risk of injecting filler will be quite a lot if the injecting person, the person being injected is not really careful. Ear filler injection is a non-surgical beauty method, using filler – a filler with ingredients containing Hyaluronic Acid put into the earlobe or earlobe to help shape the big, beautiful ears and improve the lack of the ear. . After the earlobe injection, the ear rim will be shaped naturally plump, in harmony with the facial contours. According to Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan, the reason why many people choose to fill the earlobe filler service and is hot because it is a non-surgical beauty method, no bleeding, no swelling and pain, after the injection is complete, still living. , go to work, go to school as usual. However, the cosmetic surgery specialist also noted the risk of injecting filler will be quite a lot if the injecting person, the person being injected is not really careful. Accordingly, there may be complications and complications: bruising, redness, necrosis, local infection, paresthesia, granulomatosis “The ear area is an area with many small capillaries, so bleeding, bruising are common. Sometimes, there are cases of too much injection into the earlobe, causing pressure to block the blood vessels to feed, leading to the risk of ear necrosis. This is a very dangerous event “- TS. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan emphasized. Also according to Dr. Tuan, complications caused by beauty filler injections in general, and ear-ear complications in particular are mainly found in reputable spas that do not guarantee, the injecters are not doctors but hot boy hot girl does not study medicine any day Therefore, every person who wants to go to beauty should be really wise customers when choosing reputable establishments with genuine filler products as well as a professional doctor, skilled to avoid processions. because the beauty in places is not guaranteed.

Hong Ngan, 29 years old in Hanoi, has a small body, elongated face, but she is always confident because of her flat nose. Due to a lot of communication work, 4 years ago, Ngan started to learn about rhinoplasty and decided to have silicone rhinoplasty surgery at a famous salon.

When finished, Ngan nose was quite high and elegant, but a few months later, the right nostril gradually shrank and then shifted completely to one side. She returned to “warranty” at the salon, had the surgery again, but the result was only maintained for more than a year and then the deviation was still flawed.

Then Ngan went to repair the nose at 2 other facilities, using more coronary cartilage, septal cartilage, artificial cartilage … but were ineffective.

Mui Ngan after 4 times of lifting and repairing but still deviated

Recently, she visited the Department of Plastic and Plastic Surgery, Vietnam Hospital – Cu Ba Hanoi to examine and consult.

MSc. Nguyen Duy Huan said, Ngan is among over 10% of the population with congenital rhinoplasty, but 4 previous surgeries, doctors did not find out. In these cases, if the nose is only raised, a short time later will be skewed, even causing difficulty breathing.

Because the patient’s nose has been corrected too many times, the curvature of the septum, the nose axis and the tip of the nose are all deviated, so using only silicon or ear cartilage can not completely overcome.

Therefore, Dr. Huan had to chisel the bones on both sides, form a new bone bond, then combine using rib cartilage to erect the nasal pillar and tip, reconstruct the septum, use silicon to push the bridge of the nose higher. The surgery lasted 3 hours. Currently, after more than 1 month of surgery, Ngan’s nose is back in balance.

Dr. Huan shared, the patient was taken 6cm of rib cartilage number 6, right the right breast line. Then the cartilage is cut into thin slices, grafted to the nasal pillar, the tip of the nose. Due to the material transplant itself, the patient does not worry about rejection.

Which rhinoplasty material is optimal?

According to Dr. Huan, Asians in general have a short nose, flat nose, wide nose wings. Therefore, many people look to plastic surgery to correct the tall, more elegant nose, and the nose tip is more fluttering.

Usually, to lift the nose, depending on experience, doctors can choose artificial cartilage (silicon, ePTFE, medpor) or autologous cartilage (coronary cartilage, rib cartilage, dermis). The most common is the use of man-made materials, but it can be eliminated or shrink over time. When having to repair it will be very difficult to look beautiful, in case the tip of the nose is exposed or infected, it will leave a scar that is difficult to repair.

Dr. Huan performed rhinoplasty for the patient

To make the tip of the nose tall and long, 10 years ago, doctors started using nasal septum cartilage to extend the tip of the nose, but Vietnamese and Asians in general have weak and little septal cartilage, so it is not enough to help. the tip of the nose is slimmer.

From 2015 onwards, this method has been rarely used. Then doctors in Korea, Japan and some European countries use rib cartilage (usually take the rib cartilage number 6 -7) instead.

“Since ancient times, doctors cut the rib cartilage and transplant it on the bridge of the nose, while the rib cartilage needs to be fed through vascular osmosis, so this method is ineffective, the aesthetics is not high due to warping. Over time, the current rib cartilage slicing techniques have been very ingenious, thin slices, which can be grafted into nasal pillars, septum, and tip and used in combination with other materials, so the efficiency is very high ”, Dr. Huan shared.

The image of rib cartilage is sliced ​​thin, then it will be trimmed to suit the nose shape of each patient before transplanting.

Depending on the patient, can take from 4-6cm rib cartilage. The skin incision at the site of the rib cartilage is very short, about 2-3cm, if the scar is taken care of, it is very fuzzy, so the patient does not need to worry about aesthetics. In particular, rib cartilage is a material in itself, so it is not worried about being eliminated over time. The loss of cartilage is very short, so it does not affect the health and movement of the patient.

According to Dr. Huan, the method of using rib cartilage is especially suitable for patients with deformed nose due to malformation of cleft palate, cleft palate, deformed after trauma, nose shrinkage due to complications of multiple rhinoplasty or infection. sore nose …

Dr. Huan shared, each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, in rhinoplasty there are 6 groups, depending on the shape of the nose, the wishes of the patient, the doctor will choose the combination of materials for optimal efficiency. Best:

Group 1: Those who already have a high nasal bridge, who want the tip of the nose to be longer, can just lift the tip of the nose with the coronary cartilage.

Group 2: The patient has a low nose shape, using a nasal lift using artificial cartilage made of silicon or gore-tex (material from e-PTFE resin, softer than silicon), combined with covering the tip of the nose with autologous cartilage (ear cartilage , temporal balance, fat mesoderm).

Group 3: Using artificial cartilage (silicon / ePTFE) to lift the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose uses artificial mesoderm material (alloderm / megaderm).

Group 4: Must intervene in the septum using TnR Mesh material (is a biodegradable polyester) or Medpor, used in combination with artificial cartilage lift (silicone or gore-tex).

Group 5: Using artificial cartilage to lift the bridge of the nose (silicone, gore-text), combined with rib cartilage to make the septum and tip of the nose.

Group 6: Use whole cartilage itself, rib cartilage or a combination of fatty mesoderm and rib cartilage.

Dr. Huan warned, capturing the beauty of many women, there are many spas, hairdressers also advertise nose lift.

“Because the workers do not have surgery expertise, they often make the wrong incision, there is a straight incision in the tip of the nose or the incision on the nasal cylinder, making the post-implant material exposed”, Dr. Huan shared.

Exposed filler material causes scarring of the nose difficult to fix

Necrotic necrosis (left photo) and wrong incision indicated

In addition, during the implementation process, choosing the wrong materials, the sterilization is not good, the cutting is not standard, so the post-lift nose is curled, rough, the risk of major bleeding, infection. In the worst case, it is possible to get infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis … due to poor sterilization of tools.

Dr. Huan said that almost every month, she receives at least 2-3 cases of complications due to rhinoplasty in the spa.

Therefore, all people who want to beautify need to specialized in plastic surgery hospitals, plastic plastic surgery departments in general hospitals; Clinic specialized in cosmetic plastic surgery to ensure safety and aesthetics.
