Xiaoqing, a 23-year-old from Liaoning Province, sought only false eyelash extensions but was deceived by unscrupulous salon staff into agreeing to a hyaluronic acid forehead augmentation costing over 1,000 yuan. Within 10 seconds of the injection, Xiaoqing experienced excruciating eye pain and lost all vision. After her family reported the incident, police launched an investigation, though Xiaoqing's irreversible blindness in her right eye remains near-certain.
According to sources, on May 17th, Xiaoqing visited a salon in Tieling City for eyelash extensions but was tricked into receiving the hyaluronic acid injection. Within 10 seconds of the injection, she experienced excruciating eye pain and temporary blindness. She was rushed to Shenyang for emergency treatment and later transferred to a renowned hospital in Shanghai. Despite treatment, her condition showed no improvement, and it was discovered the injected substance may have migrated upward into her cranial cavity, potentially posing a life-threatening risk.
Xiaoqing is currently undergoing treatment at a Shenyang hospital. Her attending physician noted extensive red discoloration across her forehead, brow area, and right nostril, accompanied by severe eye swelling. Fundus photography revealed her right eye nearly filled with hyaluronic acid, causing severe retinal damage. At present, restoring normal vision in her right eye appears highly unlikely.Following treatment, Xiaoqing has regained some light perception in her eye, and doctors are striving to prevent her left eye's vision from being affected.
After the incident, Xiaoqing's family reported the case to the police, who have launched an investigation. Regardless of the outcome, the vision lost in her right eye is gone forever.
The injection took place in a private residence within the residential complex—undoubtedly an unlicensed, uncertified micro-cosmetic black workshop. The fact that Xiaqing went blind within 10 seconds suggests the injector likely delivered the hyaluronic acid directly into a blood vessel with a single shot. Hyaluronic acid injections must be performed by medically trained doctors at certified cosmetic institutions. You only have one face and one pair of eyes—beauty seekers, please be more cautious.
