Now it’s the lawyers’ turn – nurse disfigured after rhinoplasty

“I haven’t been able to visit my grandchildren for weeks. If they saw me in this condition, they would be shocked at how bad their grandmother looks,” says Snezana A. bitterly during the “Krone” interview. Pain and despair are written on the woman’s face.

This modern-day tale of suffering began in June. The nurse – she works as a nurse in a Viennese hospital – only wanted to have a small dent in the bridge of her nose treated. Not a major, not an expensive operation, like Hollywood stars or wealthy ladies of high society do. “I looked online for cheap offers,” says the 48-year-old.

“In the worst case, your nose could even fall off”
In fact, she found a promising video: a plastic surgeon in the center of Vienna who was incited by a glossy magazine. She wanted to spend 360 euros for the advertised cheap rhinoplasty. Snezana confidently entered the institute in a prime location. After a local anesthetic using a cream, the hyaluronic acid injection. After just a few minutes, the affordable beauty treatment was over.

But what has followed since then is an endless ordeal. The nose became terribly inflamed, enlarged, ugly! Although the pain test at the beauty institute had immediately raised the alarm over the phone, they deterred her. And at the next appointment, the succinct answer: “It just takes time to heal.”

Snezana was soon tormented by the pain of hell. The emergency department of the AKH as the only help. Then there’s the shocking prognosis: “Your face can remain disfigured, in the worst case, your nose will fall off!” That’s why Boran-Auzinger’s law firm now represents women. The lawyers want to make sure that Snezana is not only compensated for pain and suffering, but that her nose regains its proper shape.
