Using a knife to chop off his girlfriend due to emotional conflict

Fortunately, he used his hand to catch up, but the slash went in the wrong direction and cut a long scar on the girl’s face. After that, the boyfriend ran away, and the girl hugged her horror with a stitched scar on her right cheek.

A hospital specializing in cosmetic surgery in Ho Chi Minh City has just received a case of patient D.YN (born in 2000, Tien Giang) admitted to the hospital in a state where his cheek has to be stitched with a giant scar like a centipede, with a degree of more than 10cm long.

Through taking the medical history, the patient said that on April 28, 2022, she had an argument with her boyfriend. In the moment of anger and suspicion of “rocking”, the subject (N.’s boyfriend) used a knife to cut beef wildly, almost taking N’s life.

Entire mouth muscle severed

Fortunately, N. was able to use his hand to block the death cut, but the knife line went in the wrong direction, making a long incision on N.’s arm, and at the same time stabbed straight to the right cheek area. The knife cut was very deep, pulling a long line from the corner of the mouth to the patient’s ear.

Immediately after the scuffle occurred, in a panic, the cheeky man immediately fled, leaving N. lying in the middle of a pool of blood and screaming in pain. The patient was immediately transferred by his family to a central hospital to receive emergency stitches and stop bleeding immediately.

However, the stitches at that time only solved the initial hemostasis but could not guarantee the aesthetics for a young girl. The stitches are black, scraggly with incisions crisscrossed with scars, big and small, like a giant centipede.

Every time she saw those scary stitches on her face, Ms. N couldn’t hold back the tears, and each terrifying memory of that horrible day also came immediately. For nearly a week, Ms. N lived in depression.

“For the past week, I feel like I don’t want to live anymore. Looking at the scar on my face, I remember that horrible memory, causing me to have nightmares every night. The feeling that every time I close my eyes, someone will chase me with a knife. Although my face is probably fine now, but thinking about having to live with that ugly scar for the rest of my life, I’d rather die”, said Ms. N painfully.

Currently, Ms. N’s family has reported to the police to join the investigation and continue to search for the suspect’s whereabouts.

The big scar on the patient’s cheek when he came to see Dr. Tu Dung

Through clinical examination, Dr. BS Tu Dung, the director of the hospital, assessed that, although the wound was sewn up, the previous emergency surgery for the patient was likely to only partially solve the dangerous situation. dangerous.

Besides the surgical technique that has not achieved the necessary aesthetic factors, it is possible that the internal oral muscles have been completely severed but not treated thoroughly. If delayed, it can cause paralysis of the mouth muscles, unable to eat, chew or smile for life.

Therefore, immediately with the consent of Doctor Tu Dung’s family and the hospital team, they performed emergency treatment of the patient’s incision. As soon as the entire oral cavity was separated, Dr. Tu Dung couldn’t help but worry when his initial judgments came true.

The entire palatine muscle of the patient’s right cheek was completely severed, forcing the doctor to strain the brain to connect the severed muscles. Tu Dung and his team removed all the old incisions, cleaned and sutured 4 layers of muscle for the patient. Finally, close the wound with ultra-thin sutures to ensure maximum aesthetics.

Seeing the results after the cosmetic surgery stage due to the accident, Ms. N herself couldn’t help but be moved. If before, the giant, rough, black scar made her unable to confidently face her own face.

Every time I look at myself in the mirror, I am haunted and scared by my own beauty. Now, after being stitched by Dr. Tu Dung to create cosmetic surgery, the giant scar with the original width of nearly 3cm, now shrunk to less than 0.5cm with super thin lines.

Currently, the patient’s wound has recovered 90% and will continue to be monitored, it is possible to combine treatment of skin surface scars in the future to completely erase that scary wound. .

Through this case, the cosmetologist said that this is also a bloody lesson for many young generations, building a healthy relationship and having to love and protect themselves. The pain may pass, but the scar and haunting will be a nightmare that cannot be completely erased.
