She then began to panic and kept telling the rogue doctor that she was in severe pain, but she said he told her, “Stop moving, I’m telling you, stop moving.”
Danniella claimed the surgeon “punched me on the other side of the face during surgery.”
The star feels let down and is now looking for a surgeon who can perform the ‘right operation’.
She added, “My gums are receding. Eventually I will choke. I don’t need a thread lift, this isn’t cosmetic, I need a medical procedure.’
Despite undergoing another procedure in Turkey to save her collapsed face, Danniella has since admitted that she hates her new face.
Danniella had a thread lift, liposuction in her cheeks and lips, fat grafting on her chin and her jawline etched after her septum collapsed from excessive drug use in 2002.
On Instagram, the actress shared a photo of herself taken before surgery and said she couldn’t believe what was done to her.
She wrote, “Three months ago I looked like this and thought I looked awful. I’d give my world to look like this again…
“I can’t believe what was done to me by this operation.”

She wrote on her Instagram Stories: “Only I could land back in Portugal after surgery and then end up in hospital.
“The pain I have experienced is unreal, the most terrifying few days. Literally need it like a hole in your head.”

She had wanted the reconstruction for seven years, but couldn’t find a surgeon who would operate because her septum had completely collapsed.
She told The Sun: ‘I was very scared. My mother and my son Kai were constantly on the phone – I made a will before I left and my son is the executor of it.
‘But luckily I’m still here and I came through the other side. Someone is looking over me. I looked like I went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury.
“But the swelling actually subsided very quickly. I am already happy with the result’
