Lee Se-young’s Shocking Surgery: Battling Chest Filler Complications!

In a shocking revelation, Lee Se-young opened up about her recent surgery, triggered by unforeseen complications from cosmetic fillers. On the 6th, during a heartfelt segment on her YouTube channel, she shared her story, titled “My Journey through Surgery.”

After undergoing a second surgery to address these complications, Lee Se-young finally felt ready to step back in front of the camera. She expressed, “I had to take time off to heal, but now that I’m feeling like myself again, I want to share my experience to help others.”

With sincerity, she declared, “The cosmetic procedures I’ve posted about before are not something I’d recommend anymore. As a comedian and a new YouTuber, my goal has always been to be transparent about my journey. It’s vital to research thoroughly and find a trustworthy provider for any procedure.”

Struggling with insecurities about her chest, Lee Se-young recounted, “I contemplated surgery for years, but fear held me back. Instead, I opted for fillers—a trendy solution at the time that promised a natural look without going under the knife.” It was a decision that would soon change her life.

Reflecting on her experience, she revealed, “The filler I received is no longer offered in Korea. At that time, it was marketed as a melting filler, which I thought would dissolve harmlessly. But I learned the hard way that it was anything but safe.”

After living with the fillers for nearly eight years without issues, everything changed when she accidentally hit her chest while at the gym. “A sudden sharp pain made me realize something was wrong. The filler on my left side had burst, and instead of a sudden change, it was a gradual nightmare,” she explained. “I noticed my chest was uneven, and I couldn’t ignore the discomfort any longer.”

Even now, she shudders at the thought of that time. “The right side is fine, but the left side? It’s a disaster. The filler had migrated,” she lamented. “After researching, I discovered many others were facing similar issues with chest fillers, which are no longer performed due to these risks.”

After finally seeking help, Lee Se-young faced the daunting task of removing the fillers. “The doctor warned me it would be a tough procedure, but I knew I had to act fast. An ultrasound revealed that the filler had spread dangerously. I canceled everything and prepared for surgery,” she shared.

The aftermath was painful, with the removal process mirroring the initial surgery. “Once it was done, about 98% of the filler was gone, but the recovery was brutal,” she admitted. “I couldn’t do anything for weeks, and the scars from the procedure were a constant reminder of my ordeal.” As she recovers, Lee Se-young plans to undergo chest surgery to restore her confidence.

“Plastic surgery itself isn’t the enemy, but thorough research is crucial before making any decision,” she emphasized. “The cost of filler removal was nearly the same as the original surgery—just under $10,000. It’s a painful lesson both physically and financially. Going forward, I plan to be meticulous in my choices.”
