Han Ye Seul Reveals About Botched Surgery

On April 20, she shared a photo of surgical scars and said that "During surgery for the removal of a lipoma, I experienced a medical accident,” she wrote.

“Already two weeks have passed since the surgery, the hospital has not said anything about compensation, and my heart is sinking as I am receiving the treatment every day. To be honest, I don’t think any compensation would consolate me" 

Her posting instantly attracted lots attention. 

A lipoma is a small lump of fat that grows under the skin, and while it’s classified as a tumor, it is usually benign. Lipomas are sometimes removed surgically if they are considered to be a discomfort. Meanwhile, lipoma is a type of benign tumor that is composed of mature adipocytes and is surrounded by a thin film. It occurs mainly under the skin tissue and can be removed by a relatively simple operation.
