A woman was left unable to close her eyes after undergoing plastic surgery that was done by a ‘bogus’ Russian medic.

Plastic surgeon Tatyana Stankevich, 38, who denies any wrongdoing, has been put under house arrest pending a trial.

One of her patients - named Lyubov, 53, from Moscow went to her for a blepharoplasty to remove excess skin from the lower eyelids, but says she suffered severe complications.

‘I had huge bruises under my eyes after the surgery,’ said Lyubov. ‘My eyelids began to turn inside out, severe tearing began.’

She was left unable to close her eyes. ‘I realised something was badly wrong. But [the surgeon] kept convincing me that the symptoms would pass, the skin would tighten.

‘She injected the lower eyelids with medication. I think she was lulling me into a false sense of security.

‘Then she went on vacation… I was getting worse and worse.’

She went to another clinic for advice and was immediately told she needed urgent treatment to rectify the horror.

The surgery was at Stankevich’s Moscow apartment, from where she ran her business ‘Beauty Therapy’

Investigators revealed that she was just a beauty therapist and not qualified to conduct surgery. She operated on multiple people, according to reports, and clients did not ask her for her qualifications.

The company director would tell her patients that she had performed surgeries at home before and that they had always gone well, according to reports.
