Trauma after beauty treatment at famous London beauty street

Mr Taylforth, 22, felt the wire being pulled across his face to his eyebrows during a nose job at one of London's most popular cosmetic surgery centres.

As someone with a “high pain tolerance,” Taylforth still considers it one of the worst procedures he has ever undergone.

Taylforth decided to get a fox eye lift and a nose job using polydioxanone (PDO) threads, as many celebrities have. She went to Harley Street, known as London’s most famous plastic surgery street. The clinic staff recommended a PDO, a nose job in which a medical thread is inserted under the skin, tightening the bridge of the nose and shaping it in place.

The woman said she was traumatized by the “horrific” surgery. She wasn’t too happy with the results, but said her face needed time to heal. Taylforth left the hospital with a red, swollen nose, the thread-inserted tip of her nose looking like a pimple.

A few days passed, and her nose was still extremely painful and inflamed. Taylforth went to the cosmetic clinic for a check-up, where the staff seemed to “not care about anything she said”, but admitted that the rhinoplasty procedure had gone wrong.

The surgeon left too much thread in, causing her body to reject the thread that was used to replace the cartilage in her nose. This is a normal reaction to transplant or cosmetic surgery. A few days later, the thread came loose from Taylforth's nose.

"I couldn't believe my eyes. White threads were coming out of my nose little by little," she said. The doctor used a thread to lift her nose during the surgery, but parts of it disintegrated as her body tried to remove the foreign object.

After a minor surgery to remove the nose thread, Taylforth's wound began to heal.

Taylforth admits she didn't do much research before deciding to have cosmetic surgery. She spent around $27,000 on the procedure, which only lasted two months.

She is one of many who have suffered from poor cosmetic procedures. The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery notes that 75% of doctors report a surge in patients under 30, a steady increase over the past five years.

The increased demand has led to a rise in scams and failed surgeries. A young woman in Los Angeles recently caused a stir after sharing that she had received free lip filler injections that left her face swollen.
