Lepotni posegi so danes za mnoge postali del vsakdana, a želja po popolnem videzu pogosto zasenči tveganja. To je na lastni koži občutil finski influencer in nekdanji udeleženec resničnostnega šova Big Brother Joni Hesselgren, ki je po operaciji obraza v Južni Koreji začasno oslepel.

Tridesetletni Finec je v preteklosti že prestal več estetskih posegov, med drugim korekcijo nosu, zob in liposukcijo. Za okrogli jubilej pa si je zaželel izrazitejšo in bolj koničasto linijo obraza, ki sledi obliki črke v (V-line), še posebno priljubljeno v azijskih državah.

Najprej je odpotoval v Turčijo, ki velja za eno najbolj priljubljenih destinacij za cenovno dostopne estetske operacije. Tamkajšnji zdravniki pa so poseg zavrnili. Po njihovem mnenju je bil za facelift spodnjega dela obraza pri svojih letih premlad.

WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT -Story from Jam Press (Blind After Facelift)Pictured: Joni.Big Brother star left 'unrecognisable and BLIND' after undergoing extreme facelift that doctors in Turkey REFUSED to doAn influencer was left "unrecognisable and blind" after undergoing an extreme facelift that doctors in Turkey – a country known for its controversial procedures – refused to perform.Joni Hesselgren had previously undergone several procedures abroad with no issues including a rhinoplasty, a 360 liposuction and dental work.But when the reality TV star was denied his latest request, due to his age, he simply jetted off from Turkey to South Korea instead.He went under the knife to celebrate his 30th birthday."I consulted with several Turkish surgeons about the possibility of getting a lower facelift," the Big Brother Finland star told NeedToKnow."They told me they wouldn't perform a facelift on someone my age, and honestly, I do respect that decision."I've always been unhappy with how my jawline looks, so I thought maybe tightening the skin could help improve it."V-line surgery had been a dream of mine for several years but I was absolutely terrified of going through with it."I was desperately trying to find an alternative, something easier and faster that could give me a similar result."But as time went on, I realised I just had to man up and go through with the surgery I originally wanted."Joni travelled to the South Korean capital Seoul to undergo the operation.He ended up losing a lot of blood during the procedure.Joni said: "The surgeons suggested pairing my V-line surgery with a deep plane facelift."Of course I was thrilled to hear that because it meant I could get everything I ever wanted done in a single procedure."And I had three different surgeons working on me."One surgeon handled the facial contouring, which included V-line surgery and cheekbone reduction."Another performed the facelift, and a third did my lip lift."They told me afterwards that the surgery was more difficult than usual because I bled quite a lot during the procedure."The first night was pretty uncomfortable, I couldn't close my mouth properly, it just stayed open."When they discharged me the next morning, I took a taxi back to the Airbnb."That's when things really started to escalate and my swelling suddenly got much worse."Joni's troubles were about to get even worse on the second and third days after the operation.He said: "On day two, I started losing my eyesight."I tried to fight it by stretching my eyelids open so I could see something, anything."In the evening, my friends had to walk me to the bathroom, feed me, wash me, basically take care of everything for me."That second night, I barely slept. I was sitting there in the dark with my eyes completely swollen shut, unable to see anything."At one point, I even tried going to the bathroom by myself which, in hindsight, was a terrible idea considering I was basically blind and had zero awareness of my surroundings."I ended up hitting my head on the wall."Luckily for Joni, his friends woke up due to the noise and helped him to the bathroom.Joni spent that night crying because he had to remain upright and couldn't sleep.He said: "I had a follow-up appointment at the clinic on post-op day three, at this point I still couldn't see anything at all."I couldn't even tell whether it was day or night."My friends helped me into a taxi and guided me everywhere, I couldn't see shadows, lights, shapes, nothing."The only thing I could feel was the warmth of the sun on my face."When we arrived at the clinic, they immediately took me to a hyperbaric chamber for oxygen therapy."It's basically a pressurised chamber that feels a bit like being on a plane during takeoff or landing."Koreans really take their de-swelling treatments seriously because my eyes started to open within a few hours."The swelling went down super fast, I was so relieved."The total time I was effectively blind was about 12 to 15 hours."I can't wait to see the final results."I guess we'll see them in about six months!"Joni also had advice for anyone thinking about undergoing similar procedures in a foreign country.He added: "If you ever consider going through this many procedures, please take a friend with you."The recovery process is physically exhausting, but it's a lot to go through mentally as well."You really need love and support during that time."ENDSEDITOR'S NOTE: Video Usage Licence: (EXCLUSIVE) We have obtained an exclusive licence from the copyright holder.

Ker se svojim željam ni želel odpovedati, je rešitev poiskal v Južni Koreji, kjer je estetska kirurgija izjemno razvita, posegi za oblikovanje obraza pa zelo pogosti. V Seulu je hitro našel kliniko, kjer so mu poleg preoblikovanja spodnje čeljusti predlagali še globinski lifting obraza (deep plane facelift) in lifting zgornje ustnice.

Na operaciji so sodelovali trije kirurgi – eden je opravil tako imenovano konturiranje oziroma preoblikovanje čeljusti in ličnic, drugi facelift, tretji pa lifting ustnice. Sprva je vse potekalo brez težav, zapleti pa so se pojavili kmalu po odpustu iz bolnišnice.

Oteklina mu je zaprla oči

Dan po posegu mu je obraz močno otekel, oteklina okoli oči pa je postala tako huda, da ni več videl. Ker je bil iz bolnišnice odpuščen že dan po operaciji, je moral prve ure po zapletu preživeti v apartmaju s pomočjo prijateljev. Ti so mu pomagali pri hoji, hranjenju in osnovnih opravilih, saj sam ni mogel niti na stranišče. Po njegovih besedah je približno 15 ur preživel v popolni temi in hudih bolečinah. Ko se je stanje ponoči še poslabšalo, so ga prijatelji naslednje jutro odpeljali nazaj na kliniko. Zdravniki so ga nemudoma poslali na terapijo v hiperbarično komoro s kisikom, po kateri je oteklina začela hitro upadati. Vid se mu je nato postopoma vrnil.

A kljub dramatični izkušnji Finec svoje odločitve ne obžaluje. Pravi, da bo končni rezultat operacije viden šele čez nekaj mesecev, drugim pa svetuje predvsem previdnost in spremstvo bližnjih oseb pri tako zahtevnih posegih.
