“I look worse than when I started, and it kills me,” Cannon said.

A Pattern of Alleged Malpractice
The lawsuits against Cole paint a troubling picture. Among the plaintiffs:
-
Julie Kimmerling alleges that during a January 2023 procedure, Cole severed blood vessels and nerves in her neck, causing permanent brain injury and facial paralysis.
-
Another woman claims her face became infected after unclean surgical tools were allegedly used.
-
In 2008, Betty Nestlehutt and her husband won a $1.2 million judgment after Cole allegedly cut off blood supply to her face, leaving her permanently disfigured.
These claims come amid growing scrutiny of Cole’s practice, which critics say follows a troubling pattern: upselling unnecessary procedures and then executing them improperly.
