\nMost people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance, that is the reason why plastic surgeries become a common practice everywhere in the world.\n
\n
Sadly, these procedures aren\u2019t always successful and leave permanent damage and deformation of the face. Such was the case with the famous reality star Elsa Patton, best known for her appearance in the show \u201cThe Real Housewives of Miami.\u201d She was part of the show for two years, between 2011 and 2013, but it was more than enough for her to reach a celebrity status. It was her one-liners and her lively personality that made her a beloved character.\n At the same time, she underwent a number of procedures which left her unrecognizable to the extent that a plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida, called it out and said there was \u201cno worse case\u201d of plastic surgery going wrong than Elsa Patton.\n Elsa Patton was born in Cuba on August 25, 1936. She was married to husband Donald Patton for over five decades before his passing in 2018, over a year before Elsa died too.\n \u201cMama Elsa\u201d and Donald had two children together, daughter Marysol Patton, who was part of \u201cThe Real Housewives of Miami\u201d together with her mother and later on was part of the reboot, and son Thomas Anthony Jones.\n Speaking of her mother, Marysol told Reality Tea: \u201cGrowing up my mother always had so many people that always wanted to be around her; a lot of celebrities, a lot of very important people always wanted to be friends with my mother.\n \u201cEveryone was always fascinated by her so this doesn\u2019t seem any different than how it\u2019s always been.\u201d\n Marysol added, \u201cIt\u2019s a little different when we go out together on the streets because strangers are coming up to us or staring or pointing or taking pictures, so that\u2019s a little a different. But she enjoys it very much.\u201d\n In 2012, Elsa was given her spin-off show, Havana Elsa, which followed her journey towards starting her coffee chain. \u201cI love Cuban coffee\u2026 and now I\u2019m going to have a coffee of my own, that is gonna be wonderful, it\u2019s gonna be to my taste, and on top of that I\u2019m gonna make me money,\u201d she said at the time, as reported by Huffington Post.\n When it came to her plastic surgeries, it was evident she had many, although she never really spoke openly about it. She referred to her surgeon as of \u201cthe man who ruined my face.\u201d Her daughter, Maryson, however, revealed more information about Elsa\u2019s surgeries and said that her mom had her eyelids done during the 80\u2019s, which left her with hematomas on her eyes for nearly three years.\n Facial Plastic Surgeon Benjamin C. Stong of the Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, said that it\u2019s \u201calmost hard to even imagine\u201d what she looked like before her surgeries. Another expert, double-board certified surgeon Dr. Farrior in Tampa, Florida, described Elsa\u2019s face condition as a \u201ctragedy\u201d in judgment, ethics, and technique.\n \u201cChances are that she did not do it to herself but was able to convince someone to do it to her. That is where it should have stopped,\u201d Dr. Farrior wrote, adding that the surgeon in question had the responsibility to refuse further surgery.\n \u201cThe real mistake was the choice she made for a provider because they did not say NO,\u201d he added.\n In 2013, mere days before they were about to start shooting season three of the reality show, Elsa suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. As months and years passed by, her health deteriorated and she passed away on May 13, 2019, after \u201ca long illness.\u201d Elsa was 84 at the time of her passing.\n Marysol honored her mother when she married her husband Steve McNamara, president of a Florida construction company, in 2021. Her Mayan wedding ceremony was performed by a shaman. \u201cIt was the basis of her mom\u2019s spiritual-religious roots,\u201d a source told Page Six. \u201cShe felt her mom\u2019s influence guided her to have this kind of ceremony \u2014 Elsa is still in charge!\u201d\n The Real Housewives franchise creator and executive producer Andy Cohen made a touching tribute to Elsa on his show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. \u201cThroughout the history of the Real Housewives, we have met many friends and relatives of the wives, but rarely has someone\u2019s spirit, humor, and wisdom made such an indelible impression as Elsa\u2019s did,\u201d\n We will never forget \u201cMama Elsa\u201d and her wonderful personality. May she rest in peace.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance, that is the reason why plastic surgeries become a common practice everywhere in the world.
