A woman in Saudi Arabia has lost her sight after a cosmetic surgery went wrong. The woman was preparing for her wedding when she went to get cosmetic fillers around her cheeks but the procedure resulted in her turning blind as a result of incorrect placement and excessive amounts.
Dr Abdulaziz Al Rajihi, CEO of King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital explained that fillers injected around the eyes can lead to blocked arteries feeding the retina which can result in blindness. He also emphasised the dangers when this procedure isn't performed by trained specialists.
