A PLASTIC surgeon has been accused of leaving a beauty queen’s face horrifically mutilated.
Blonde beauty Yulia Tarasevich, 44, came close to victory in the Mrs Russia-International contest 2020.
The gorgeous beauty queen has filed charges against the surgeonscen
She’s been left ‘disfigured’ after the procedurecen
Yulia planned to get a facelift, a cosmetic correction of the eyelids and a mini-liposuction at a private clinic in December 2020.
But it went horribly wrong.
She said 45-year-old surgeon Andrei Komarov persuaded her to have the operation.
But the botched procedure left her with a “mutilated” face, she claimed.
She was unable to close her eyes or even move her face, allegedly as a result of the operation at the practice in the city of Krasnodar in southern Russia.
Another doctor had to be drafted in to perform emergency follow-up surgery to save her eyes from necrosis, she said in a complaint.
Mother-of-two Yulia said she paid £3,000 for the operations, after which her face became badly swollen and inflamed.
She ended up spending a further £20,000 to try and correct the problems but without any success.
She has since decided to file a criminal complaint over the botched treatment.
The Prosecutor’s Office of the Krasnodar Territory, which investigated her complaint, charged one surgeon.
Dr Komarov will be prosecuted over providing services that “did not meet the requirements of consumer health safety” because they negligently caused serious bodily harm, local media reported.
If convicted, the doctor – who denies the charges – faces up to six years in jail and a fine of up to £4,970.
After the case ends, he is also facing a civil case for damages from the former beauty queen.
The civil damages case has already been filed alongside the criminal case being heard at the Leninsky District Court of Krasnodar.
Yulia claims she suffers from depression as a result of the surgery.
She said she was also left unable to close her eyelids or smile and her face is asymmetrical.
The surgeons claim Yulia had a rare genetic condition – scleroderma – which made it impossible to predict.
They deny responsibility for her nightmare.
She told local media: “When I came to them, I had a beautiful, healthy face.
“I just wanted to correct some small things and slow down the ageing process. In the end, though, I lost my beauty and my health.”
