Former AOA member Kwon Mina recently revealed that he suffered a deep second degree burn after suffering a “Shrunk” lifting procedure. On February 8, she shared on her social media account that she received 600 injections of the facelift treatment under sedation.
Kwon Mina explained that although it was a clinic she visited often, the procedure left visible red burn scars on her face. He also confessed to having a panic attack following the incident. “I ended up showing my face to my mom and she cried,” he wrote. “Because of my face, I postponed and canceled plans, saying ‘I’m sorry’ every day.” His emotional update has drawn sympathy from fans concerned about his physical and mental well-being.
Actress Yoon Jin-yi also said she had an unexpected accident after dermatological procedures. In May 2021, while under sedation, she reportedly underwent three different consecutive procedures and suffered burns to her face during the process. It was later reported that Yoon Jin-yi had spent nearly four years treating his burns, undergoing around 50 treatment sessions to recover.
Perhaps the best-known case is that of actress Han Ye-seul, whose experience turned into a national controversy. In 2018, Han Ye-seul claimed through her social media account that she suffered a medical accident during surgery to remove a lipoma. He publicly shared photos of the surgical site, revealing severe scarring.
In subsequent posts, she revealed not only the physical pain but also the emotional trauma resulting from the incident. The case sparked a broader social debate about the safety of medical-aesthetic procedures and the responsibility of medical professionals to provide thorough explanations and ensure patient safety.
These real-life celebrity testimonials highlight that dermatology treatments should never be approached lightly. Experts emphasize that thorough consultations, personalized diagnosis and diligent post-operative care are essential before and after any cosmetic procedure. As the pursuit of external beauty continues to grow, so too does the need to carefully consider the potential risks that may arise from it.
