During the hearing, four surgical professionals testified that the damage to the plaintiff's chin originated from previous surgical procedures. Experts stated that the patient lost a specific anatomical area, causing her lip to drop, which led to eight subsequent reconstructive surgeries.
“"If that had been the case, I would have stopped everything."
The defendant denied the allegations, claiming the actress already had a dropped lip during her first consultation, despite this not being recorded in her medical history. He also denied that the patient lost sensitivity after the initial procedure.
The decade-long ordeal has caused significant psychological distress for Blanca Espino, including psychiatric hospitalizations. The trial is expected to conclude on March 12 following expert testimony.
