A woman in eastern China is seeking one million yuan (US$140,000) in compensation from a cosmetic surgery clinic after a botched procedure left her with a six-centimetre-long scar on her chin.

The woman, identified as Ding, who lives in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, underwent a fat-grafting operation on her face in South Korea several years ago, after which her face became swollen.
She then had facial liposuction surgery at a clinic in Beijing, which slightly relieved the problem, the Yangtze Evening News reports.

At the beginning of this year, Ding saw the Xuzhou Yumei Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Jiangsu advertised.
The company boasted that it had patents for chin repair and promised it could return Ding’s to its original appearance.
In February, she underwent chin repair surgery at the institute, which cost 20,000 yuan (US$3,000).

However, three days later, her chin developed massive blisters.
A doctor at the clinic told Ding it was normal and sent her some ointment.
