This beauty blogger was left looking like a burn victim after a simple procedure to remove a facial birthmark turned into a cosmetic nightmare.
Molly Martinson had been expecting surgeons to remove the small port wine birthmark on her cheek below her eye without much fuss. Now scared for life with the worst nightmare.


But the 23-year-old was devastated when the 'botched' laser surgery caused a patch of skin on her face to become red and inflamed - leaving her looking like she had been "exposed to radiation".
A year on from the treatment, these graphic photos show how the bruising and burns on Molly's vascular birthmark have left her with permanent scarring.

Now the blonde beauty is speaking out about her horrific ordeal in a bid to warn others of the "extreme dangers" of undergoing laser surgery.

It got tiring after years of people constantly asking what was on my face."
"So before I figured out the dangers of my birthmark, I was always self-conscious of it."
After being told her birthmark was spreading and could damage her sight, Molly decided to go ahead with laser treatment.

During the first two sessions Molly experience slight bruising around the birthmark that healed in 10 days.
Happy with the results, Molly attended her third appointment on July 29 2015 - a day she describes as the most horrible of her life.
This time, after zapping the birthmark, Molly felt excruciating pain and knew something was wrong.


She added: "When the surgeon handed me the mirror, my stomach literally turned upside down.
"There was bruising all across my cheek, even where I don't have a birth mark.
"I physically felt nauseous and started crying instantly. I was appalled.
"I felt like my face was ruined and there was not a thing I could do about it.
"I was shaking and terrified. I was not only emotionally distressed but physically as well. I wanted to vomit."

The next day Molly's eye was swollen shut and her skin was blistered and raw for a month.
She said: "It hurt for four weeks. I realised it felt like a burn - like someone took a hot coal to my face and burned me.
"Even the slightest touch made me cry in pain.
"I didn't want to go out in public for days because it looked like I was exposed to radiation.
"I did go out a few times because I simply had to and everyone just stared at me in disbelief.

Pause! She is not saying this to entertain us but to warn us to appreciate what you have. Do not listen to people who ask you questions on how you look. Where are they now.

This is so painful.
