Ulsan Police on Tuesday said it is investigating a case of a man who died 20 days after getting plastic surgery.

According to Ulsan Nambu Police Station, a man in his late 20s died Saturday after he had received cosmetic surgery on his eyes and nose at a plastic surgical clinic in Nam-gu, Ulsan, on Nov. 28. He had visited a host of hospitals, including one in neighboring city of Busan, to treat inflammation that flared up after the initial surgery.

The family of the deceased pinned the blame on the plastic surgery, which they claimed had gone wrong.

Police said it plans to conduct an autopsy to find out whether the surgery had led to his death.
