A woman has been left with permanent scarring and looking like an “alien” with “horns” after getting a popular surgical procedure on her face.

Jessie Carr, 21, a gym receptionist from Sydney, Australia, was eager to get ‘fox eye’ surgery inspired by celebrities including Bella Hadid, who have the unique look.

The procedure promises to lift the eyebrows and produce a “fierce, foxy” look, which should last between 18 and 24 months.

After seeing the process advertised on Instagram by different cosmetic surgeons, she decided to do her research and book an appointment.

However, the surgery didn’t go according to plan – leaving Jessie with protrusions on her forehead resembling “horns”.

She says the procedure is her “biggest regret ever”.

“I don’t really understand what went wrong with it,” Jessie said.

“I have assumptions that maybe my body is rejecting the threads.

“I think that this procedure is in some way a scam, because I’m sure cosmetic surgeons know that it isn’t effective.

“One thing I do know that went wrong is that the cosmetic surgeon made one eyebrow higher than the other, which caused even more issues for me.

“I felt ridiculous in the way that I looked and I later on had to get Botox in one eyebrow to temporarily even them out.”

Jessie had the surgery in October 2021 at a clinic in New South Wales.

In total, the procedure cost $2,000 AUD (£1,118) but she has received a partial refund for $1,100 AUD (£615) due to her ordeal.

In a clip on TikTok, which has received 4.3 million views and over 212,000 likes, she shows off her final look with the caption: “I can’t take myself seriously.”

She begins by turning her face from side-to-side and reveals scarring on either side of her face.

As the “horn” shaped scars stick out of her forehead, she mouths: “I wish I had a time machine.”
