Hospital visit leads to disfigurement
A simple cosmetic procedure to correct a slight protrusion in her jaw turned into a tragedy for a 24-year-old Chinese woman. She intended to make a two-millimeter adjustment but made an error, resulting in her jaw being pushed forward by approximately 13 millimeters, significantly altering her facial features. The surgery also caused a perforation in the root of one of her teeth and inflammation of the nasal septum, leading to breathing difficulties. She suffered financial losses totaling $55,000. Experts confirmed that the treatment could have been achieved using orthodontic braces alone, without the need for surgery.
