A social media influencer underwent a dramatic facelift that left him unrecognizable and with temporary blindness after Turkish surgeons refused to perform the procedure due to his age. Joni Hesselgren, known for his appearances on reality TV show Big Brother, traveled to South Korea to undergo the surgery after being turned down in Turkey.
Seeking to enhance his jawline, Joni decided to proceed with a V-line surgery, despite initial fears. The complex operation involved facial contouring, a deep plane facelift, and a lip lift performed by three different surgeons. However, Joni experienced significant blood loss during the procedure, leading to complications post-surgery.
Following the operation, Joni faced severe swelling and vision impairment, requiring assistance from friends for basic tasks. Despite struggling with blindness for a period, he received prompt medical attention in South Korea, including oxygen therapy that helped reduce swelling and restore his eyesight.
Reflecting on his challenging experience, Joni emphasized the importance of having emotional support during the recovery process and urged caution to those considering multiple cosmetic procedures abroad. He expressed relief as his vision gradually returned and looked forward to seeing the final results in the coming months.
