Olivier Gerbault, a well-known European plastic surgeon, was suspended from his practice for two decades after numerous people accused him of performing inadequate nose surgeries. Gerbault, known for his ultrasound rhinoplasty approach, allegedly left some individuals with breathing problems and defects.
According to a New York Post record, many women who complained to the medical ethics committee claimed that after the procedures, their noses appeared to be resembling “potatoes.” Elisa, one of the people, said:
” My head was long, crooked, wet, and looked like a corn. My left nostril was collapsing, and I could n’t get any air through”.
Another person, Chloé, reported similar experience, claiming her head became infected and her nose collapsed after the procedure. She said:
” I had a lump]in area of my nose], a big potatoes. From then on, I lost all preference for living”.
Alix, another client, alleged Gerbault inserted a chin surgery without her assent during her liposuction.
” I feel like I’ve been mutilated”, Alix said, as quoted by New York Post. ” When I woke up, I was vomiting litres of heart. A shovel may have been used by the dentist. Since then, I’ve had a terrible burning pain, air rushes in to clearly, and it gets on my senses. Gerbault has ruined my life”.
Gerbault, 58, received a two-year restrictions in November 2023.
Despite the suspension, Gerbault continues to exercise with permission from local government. He refutes all the allegations, claiming that a rival doctor planned a slander campaign.
” These individuals are all related, and the issues are always the same, sometimes to the last word. It’s clear they are being helped by a partner, which is especially critical and unprofessional”, Gerbault said, as quoted by New York Post.
The doctor is already appealing the suspension.
