Woman is devastated to see a shoddy silicone implant ‘leaking’ from her nose tip after spending £780 on ‘botched’ plastic surgery
- The woman in China was horrified by the white substance oozing from her nose
- She soon realised it was a silicone implant doctors had used for her nose job
- The lump had slipped from her nose bridge to her nose tip before poking out
A young Chinese woman has been left horrified after seeing a shoddy silicone implant oozing out between her nostrils due to botched plastic surgery.
The lump had slipped from her nose bridge to her nose tip before poking out through the skin, the devastated woman told reporters.
She had to walk around with the eyesore for days before doctors agreed to remove the implant from her.

The beauty-conscious woman, known by her surname Xie, recently made the shocking discovery after noticing a small wound on the tip of her nose.
An image released by local media shows Ms Xie’s nose with the white silicone stick poking through her skin due to the failed operation she paid 7,000 yuan (£780) for.
Ms Xie had gone for a nose-shaping procedure in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, three years earlier to make her nose more prominent. Such operations are extremely popular in east Asian countries.
The beauty lover said that she was initially happy with the result, but she started noticing the tip of her nose turning red in the winter last year.
‘Because the weather was quite cold and I thought it was normal,’ Ms Xie told Zhejiang Television. ‘I didn’t really think much about it.’
The Chinese woman soon realised that her plastic surgery had gone wrong after she spotted the broken skin on her nose.
‘I could see something white coming out,’ she added.
Ms Xie returned to the beauty centre for a consultation in late May. The plastic surgeon removed the silicone stick from her nose. The picture shows her nose without the implant

The devastated woman has demanded the local clinic to pay for a repair procedure for her nose.
Ms Wang, director of the beauty centre, claimed that Ms Xie’s deformed nose was caused by the normal deterioration of silicone implants.
‘After a while, silicone materials would slowly move down and stretch the skin,’ she told the local press.
The clinic owner added that such implants usually last about ten years. But Ms Xie had undergone the surgery only three years ago.
When asked if the operation was botched, Ms Wang avoided answering directly and suggested the beauty lover receive a professional analysis for her nose.
The clinic said that they would claim the full responsibility if the analysis indicated that it was their fault.
Ms Xie said that she planned to receive nose reconstruction surgery at a different hospital. But she required the clinic to pay for the procedure.
The local media said that the two parties continued with their negotiation.
