Facelift: Left One Half of my Face Paralysed.

Left One Half of my Face Permanently Paralysed
He performed a facelift and has left one half of my face permanently paralysed. My lips were perfectly symmetrical before this operation, the impacts on my life have been devastating. He was incredibly egotistical, saying how he was on a par with worldclass surgeons like Jacono etc. When I tried to complain he loftily stated that he would tell his networks of surgeons not to treat me, and that "I would find it difficult to get revision treatment". He also lies and says that the cost of surgery will include Rose Multispeciality Hospital, but when I arrived in Pune I was suddenly told it would take place at a completely different hospital and it was dirty and awful.

His surgical assistant made me sign a lot of papers before the operation so that I wouldn't hold the hospital liable for anything that happened to me there. But I'm not sure whether I can sue him. It's perhaps something I should look into. He just became so aggressive when I tried to complain it made me feel numb and silent for quite a while. The pompous threat that he would inform his "networks/ associations of plastic surgeons" about me so that I would find it "difficult to find a surgeon to treat me" was particularly disturbing and, of course, completely false. I've consulted with some very sympathetic surgeons since then.

Where is this place and how did you ended up there?

That should have read Ruby Hall Clinic (not Rose Speciality Clinic) in Pune. He gave me costings based on the surgery taking place at Ruby Hall Clinic but when I had travelled all the way to Pune from the UK, he suddenly said it would cost an extra £2000 for Ruby Hall and that surgery would take place at a completely different hospital which turned out to be dirty and awful. He's terribly corrupt.

To be honest I would never dare to travel to India to have a surgery. Sounds really scaring experience. I hope that you will find help in UK.
