According to Daily Mirror - Main, Joni Hesselgren described undergoing V-line surgery, cheekbone reduction, a deep plane facelift, and a lip lift in South Korea. He said he lost a significant amount of blood during the procedure. On the second day after surgery, he started losing his eyesight. His friends had to care for him, including walking him to the bathroom, feeding him, and washing him.
Hesselgren had previously undergone several procedures abroad without complications, including rhinoplasty, 360 liposuction, and dental work.

That's when things really started to escalate and my swelling suddenly got much worse.
On day two, I started losing my eyesight. I tried to fight it by stretching my eyelids open so I could see something, anything. In the evening, my friends had to walk me to the bathroom, feed me, wash me, basically take care of everything for me. That second night, I barely slept.
