A Korean woman who was addicted to plastic surgery injected cooking oil into her own face when her supply of silicone from doctor ran out. Her face was disordered and became grotesquely large. And now, people call her “standing fan” due to her large face and small body.

The picture below is Hang Mioku before her face disordered; she looks good actually.


Hang Mioku, now 48, had her first plastic surgery procedure when she was 28; hooked from the beginning she moved to Japan where she had further operations – mostly to her face.

Following operation after operation, her face was eventually left enlarged and disfigured, but she would still look at herself in the mirror and think she was beautiful.

Eventually the surgeons she visited refused to carry out any more work on her and one suggested that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder.

When she returned home to Korea the surgery meant Hang’s features had changed so much that her own parents didn’t recognise her.

After realising that the girl with the grossly swollen face was indeed their daughter her horrified parents took her to a doctor. Once again the possibility that Hang had a mental disorder was raised and she started treatment.

However, this treatment was too expensive for her to keep up and she soon fell back into old ways.

Amazingly, she found a doctor who was willing to give her silicone injects and, what’s more, he then gave her a syringe and silicone of her own so she could self-inject.

When her supply of silicone ran out Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face.

Her face became so grotesquely large that she was called “standing fan” by children in her neighbourhood – due to her large face and small body.

This is a sad story but a real example to tell those who are crazy about plastic surgery to think twice before they regret it.
