A Taiwanese model with more than 19 plastic surgeries under her belt was discovered with multiple nails in her face — while going through an airport scanner. Ophthalmic Capsulorhexis Forceps
Fang Qiyuan, 36, also known as Sprite, detailed her Frankenstein-esque discovery in an Instagram post to her more than 1.3 million followers.
The self-proclaimed “plastic surgery fanatic” has dropped over $250,000 on various cosmetic procedures, Jam Press reported, including two forehead operations, five in her eyelids, five on her nose, two in her chin and liposuction for facial repair five times.
As a result, Fang has been left with multiple foreign objects embedded in her chin.
While trying to go through an airport’s security scanner, the machine picked up a 1-inch surgical screw just below her bottom lip, as seen in her Instagram photos.
Fang believes that the screw was left there during a “chin prosthesis” she received eight years ago.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only surgical straggler to turn up in the computed tomography (CT) scan.
“I unexpectedly discovered that I also have nails on my nose,” revealed the human voodoo doll of her inadvertent facial piercings.
Accompanying photos show one of the bolts slightly above her lip pointing downward and another in her nose.
“My face looks like a jigsaw puzzle!” lamented Fang, who has scheduled an appointment to get the bolts removed.
Her legions of Instagram viewers were shocked by her plethora of loose screws.
“Man, that’s rough to look at,” said one follower. “Goes to show the lengths people will go for beauty standards.”
Another quipped, “Take an MRI and everything will be spewed out.”
Fortunately, despite the pincushion-esque appearance, surgical screws are generally not harmful to the patient and therefore do not actually need to be removed.
“In most cases, implants can stay in your body without any harm,” according to Very Well Health. “Their removal should never be considered a part of ‘routine’ care.”
