In February 2026 Turkish TV personality Didem Ceran underwent a 15‑hour facial transplant in South Korea, followed by a planned revision that she filmed and posted, accusing the surgical team of misconduct and threatening legal action. Two days later she misconduct. She described the revision as physically and psychologically demanding and rebuffed critics who suggested jealousy. In July 2026 Ceran posted another video after the revision, reiterating the hardship of her recovery and stressing warned that her situation recovery stemmed from hard work and personal resolve rather than luck. She thanked her partner and warned that public perceptions of her strength were work, not a matter of chance. Later that month luck. By July 2026 she claimed the procedure left her with reported permanent paralysis of one side of her face, a hematoma and a brief loss of consciousness.
