The Hang Mioku case: The korean woman who had an obsession with cosmetic surgery

This is the story of a woman obsessed with eternal youth who, after 20 years, has disfigured her face by self-injecting cooking oil. Hang Mioku, a 48-year-old Korean woman, injected cooking oil into her face, leaving her completely unrecognizable.

How did Hang Mioku’s case begin

Despite the consequences that surgery was having on her face, swollen and disfigured, Hang saw herself as beautiful and wanted to keep undergoing procedures. However, the surgeons she visited refused to perform any more operations on her.

When she returned to Korea, where she resides, her parents were horrified by the terrible effects of the surgeries and decided to look for a doctor who could restore her face. However, the treatment was too expensive.

Incomprehensibly, Hang found a doctor who continued injecting silicone into her face. The doctor merely left her with a syringe and the silicone so she could inject it herself. However, when she ran out of the product, she decided to inject cooking oil instead.

What were the consequences of injecting cooking oil into the face?

Now, Hang has become famous in Korea, and several donations have allowed her to undergo surgery to remove 260 grams of foreign substance from her face and neck. After several sessions, the doctors have managed to reduce the size of her face, which remains disfigured and permanently marked by scars.

The effects of unauthorized substances are irreversible and can only be improved with secondary surgery, although it will not be possible to remove all the product as it infiltrates the tissues.

You should always go to qualified professionals and authorized clinics to avoid suffering this type of damage.
