Surgeon Suspended for ‘Potato Noses’: Shocking Plastic Surgery Scandal!

In the world of beauty, one name has become synonymous with disaster: Dr. Olivier Gerbault. This once-celebrated plastic surgeon is now at the center of a storm, facing serious allegations that his surgical skills have left women’s noses looking less than desirable – some even claim their results resemble ‘potatoes.’

At 58 years old, Gerbault, who had earned the title of the ‘nose maestro’ in France, was handed a two-year suspension in November 2023. This decision came after numerous patients voiced their horror to the medical ethics committee, describing their outcomes as nothing short of ‘mutilation’.

As the allegations pile up, complaints have surfaced that Gerbault’s work has turned elegant features into unfortunate caricatures. Many are baffled as to how he continues to operate in Paris, despite the serious nature of these accusations.

Take the story of a woman going by the name Elisa, who sought to transform her ‘hooked’ nose into a straight beauty. Instead, she awoke to find a ‘long, crooked, thick’ nose staring back at her – one she described as resembling a potato. To make matters worse, her left nostril had collapsed, leaving her gasping for air.

In a chilling turn of events, Gerbault allegedly admired his own handiwork while Elisa broke down in tears before the mirror. Following this harrowing experience, she, alongside other dissatisfied patients, lodged a formal complaint which led to Gerbault’s temporary ban.

But Gerbault isn’t just facing the wrath of one patient; a growing number of women are stepping forward, all bearing similar stories of distress. One woman recounted how her nose became infected after surgery and how it ultimately cost her job and plunged her into depression. Desperate for a fix, she returned to Gerbault, only to suffer an even worse fate with the second procedure.

‘I had a bizarre white button on my nose. Turns out, it was a piece of cartilage sticking out,’ she lamented. ‘He massacred me.’

Alarming reports indicate that Gerbault’s indiscretions extend beyond noses. Patients claim he performed unsolicited procedures, including unexpected chin implants. One victim described waking up from surgery only to find a chin prosthesis in place, despite having explicitly refused that option.

‘I feel like I’ve been mutilated,’ she expressed. ‘When I woke up, I was vomiting liters of blood. It was like he had used a trowel on my face.’

Despite his ban, Gerbault is allegedly still practicing illegally at a Paris clinic, with the French General Medical Council taking steps to challenge his actions. His troubles don’t end there; he was previously found guilty of attempted blackmail against a rival surgeon and was slapped with a suspended prison sentence and a hefty fine.

As this drama unfolds, the medical community and potential patients are left questioning: who can they trust with their beauty?
