A Hull woman shares her nightmare experience with botched cosmetic fillers
A BBC investigation revealed that Sean Scott, who ran the clinic, was posing as a doctor. He had no medical training but claimed to be a clinical director. Andrea thought she was in good hands, especially after seeing the clinic’s awards.
After her first procedure, Andrea was given antibiotics, which should only be prescribed by qualified professionals. She trusted Scott, believing he knew what he was doing. But things took a turn for the worse when she went back for facial fillers.
Her face swelled up, and she was told it was just an insect bite. But it was much more serious. Andrea had over 30 appointments, spending thousands, but her condition only worsened.
Eventually, she ended up in the hospital, barely able to open her eyes. Doctors confirmed her issues were linked to the fillers. Andrea now suffers from PTSD and regrets her decision.
Scott claims he’s learned from his mistakes and has changed his practices. But many in the industry are calling for stricter regulations to prevent more cases like Andrea’s.
Andrea warns others to be cautious and says she would never go through it again. It’s a tough lesson learned the hard way.
