This woman's head split open during nightmare flight, here's why

Travelling in planes is not a big deal to many but for this woman, her flight became a nightmare when her head was split open in the mid-flight. What made it worse was that she recently had surgery so the whole ordeal was even more painful for her.

A painful flight

A woman named Weronika posted her story on TikTok from @polish_99. She sported visible dark circles under her eyes from the recent cat-eye surgery. According to Daily Star, Weronika had previously undergone a BBL operation with the same doctor.

However, it had taken her significantly longer to recover from her eye surgery. By the time she went for a final consultation, she was in a rush to go home. The doctor agreed and gave her permission to fly back, but he forgot to give her the official documentation and instead, agreed with her on WhatsApp. She had to get the certification from a different doctor in order to fly.

Horror on flight

Everything seemed fine at first, but it didn’t take long for things to go south. Weronika was seated comfortably on the plane and decided to take a nap. She woke up with intense pain in her head. She said:

I can feel pain all around [behind my left ear], like my actual ear was in pain as well and I was like, 'How is that possible? I can't even feel my ears yet.

As she rushed to the bathroom she heard a distinct ‘pop’ and couldn’t believe what she saw. Her stitches had come apart and her head had literally split open. She felt blood cascading down her neck from the incision behind her left ear. She shared that the incision might have popped open due to the fact that she 'had a drain in the exact area that popped open, meaning fluid would collect there’. Moreover, she suspected that it happened due to cabin pressure.

Unfortunately, she was in the middle of the flight and couldn’t do much except hold the wound close with paper towels. As the plane landed she rushed to consult a doctor and thankfully everything was okay.
