She claimed in an interview that she went to the surgeon to decrease the signs of aging. She said:

Following the botched facelift horror, she spent £20,000 to correct her face, to no avail.

Yulia Tarasevich is now suing doctors Andrey Komarov and Omar Khaled, who were involved in the operations. The two surgeons claimed that the woman had a rare genetic condition called ‘scleroderma,’ making it impossible to predict the botched surgery.

What condition did Yulia Tarasevich suffer from?

Scleroderma is a rare disease also known as systemic sclerosis. It often hardens and tightens the skin, resulting in blood vessels, internal organs, and digestive tract problems.

Medical professionals have not yet recognized where the disease originates from. However, it has been deemed to be an autoimmune disease. The immune system, which is supposed to protect one from germs, instead causes inflammation in one’s body.

The disease showcases an array of symptoms, including red spots on the skin, ulcerations on the fingertips and toes, pain and stiffness in the joints, shortness of breath, persistent cough, heartburn, constipation, shortness of breath, fatigue, and hair loss, amongst others.

Cleveland Clinic stated that the diagnosis of scleroderma is not easy as it can affect several parts of the body. The disease is often mistaken for rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

Russian Investigation Committee puts out a statement

The committee spokesperson said that the doctors involved in the woman’s surgery and under investigation for defying laws related to the “safety of life and health.”

Spokeswoman Anna Pushkina added:

She also mentioned that the investigation into Yulia Tarasevich’s botched surgery is currently ongoing.
