However, Dr. Tian noted that had the clip penetrated her skull, neurosurgery might have been required to mitigate the risk of brain damage or internal bleeding.

After administering anesthesia, medical staff successfully removed the embedded clip in just over 10 minutes, according to vknews24.

He advised against wearing them while exercising, traveling, or engaging in any activity that involves sudden movements.
