Plastic surgery goes awry for woman

A 38-year-old woman who had an unsuccessful plastic surgery sued the doctor and asked for 138,300 yuan in compensation at Chaoyang district, the court said on Tuesday.

The woman, surnamed Zhang, underwent surgery conducted by the doctor, surnamed Hou, on Jan 15. Her scalp was inflamed afterward and needed a hair-planting and scalp repair operation later.
