Polish influencer Julia von Stein first detailed a nine-hour deep-plane facelift performed in 2025, which combined multiple procedures on her face, neck, and brow. In a July 2026 YouTube video she expressed disappointment, describing the result as making her feel “like a monster” and announced plans for a new operation with a different surgeon.

A week later, von Stein confirmed she had undergone a second facial-lifting surgery to address the unsatisfactory outcome. She reported severe pain, bruising and uncertainty about the final result, noting she felt “cut and bruised.” Commentators highlighted the difficulty of revision lifts, emphasizing that such procedures only reverse visible signs of aging and may require further minor corrections.

By August 2026, von Stein announced intentions to take legal action against the physician responsible for the initial procedure. She stated that a corrective surgery performed at a different clinic confirmed her concerns regarding negative changes to her appearance. The specialist involved, Dr. Piotr Janik, responded that the procedure followed established standards and noted that von Stein’s claims contain inaccuracies that risk damaging his professional reputation. Von Stein has rejected these accusations, asserting her claims are based on documented experiences.
