This is one of the moments that will actually make people exclaim in Yoruba “Olorun maje ki n se oge daran (God please don’t let my fashion/ beauty land me in trouble).This lawyer wanted to remain young for life, so she went to a cosmetic surgeon, and this was what happened after:...................
A Romanian lawyer by the name of Raluca Crisan went to see a plastic surgeon about maintaining her youthful looks.After a brief discussion about various options, Dr. Adrian Oancea convinced Crisan to get Botox injections.
They went ahead with the procedure and within mere seconds of being injected with the Botox, Crisan claims she felt intense burning and swelling in her face, which the doctor assured her was part of the symptoms.
However, things only got worse and a few hours later Crisan was taken to Alba County Hospital in Alba-lulia, Romania.
It quickly became clear to doctors that Raluca Crisan had been injected with snake venom, causing her entire face to be paralyzed for the better part of eight months.
“My lachrymal glands (the ones that make tears) were paralyzed and I had to permanently use eye drops,” Crisan claims. “I could not use any facial muscles. I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t cry, it was terrible."
Once Crisan had recovered, she took Dr. Oeancea to court, where he testified that he didn’t even know what was in the Botox he injected her with because he’d ordered it from a Chinese supplier and all of the writing on the product was in Chinese.
Crisan was able to find out via the supplier that the substance was almost entirely made up of viper venom.
While snake venom is indeed used in some methods of reducing wrinkles, it’s intended to be added to a diluted cream and then rubbed into the surface of one’s skin… not injected directly into their face in a highly-concentrated and non-diluted form.
“The Ministry of Health told my lawyer that the substance was not authorized to be used and as it wasn’t registered they couldn’t tell me what it was either,” said Crisan.
Two years after the incident, Crisan is still only able to use about 70% of her facial muscles despite extensive and ongoing medical treatment.
As for Dr. Oancea, he’s suspended indefinitely from Alba County Hospital but is still working as a private doctor.
Perhaps if his patients were made aware of this little mishap, he could expect a decline in business!
