British news presenter Kate Silverton is threatening to sue the doctor who conducted the laser skin-rejuvenation procedure that temporarily disfigured her.
Silverton, 37, underwent the treatment to have acne scars removed and to improve her skin tone; however, her face ended up swollen and covered in painful sores and lumps, the Daily Telegraph reported.
She was also forced to take two weeks off from her job at the BBC, the report said.
Although Silverton is now back to work, she told her attorneys to begin proceedings against the Jan Stanek clinic in London.
"It's been awful. I went in to get some minor scarring on my cheeks treated. I was told it would be a routine procedure and I'd be back to work in days. The treatment, however, caused a massive skin reaction," Silverton told the Telegraph.
