She has no muscles at the bottom of her eyelids and has had to undergo multiple surgeries since she was 9 years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">She said Cole promised a permanent fix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">\u201cHe said that I can fix you, I can make you better,\u201d Cannon told <b>Channel 2 consumer investigator Justin Gray.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Cannon said Cole convinced her to add cheek implants along with the eye surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve always struggled with my appearance, and I was just very excited to finally get to be happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">But instead, Cannon alleges in her lawsuit that she suffered a variety of complications and problems from the surgeries including serious infections and damage to her eyes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">\u201cHe took half my lid off, so it was extremely tight. And he kept saying, I\u2019ll fix it. I\u2019ll fix it. Then I got infections on my cheeks,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Cannon\u2019s lawsuit is one of four filed recently against Cole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\"><b>TRENDING STORIES:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Attorney Alex Seay represents the patients and told Gray that she has also heard from several more patients who could soon be filing more lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we have here is a series of bad outcomes. And when you have so many of them, they stop being mistakes and they start being a pattern,\u201d Seay said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">An Attorney for Cole, Scott Bailey, said they are just beginning discovery and an investigation into the claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Bailey said in a statement: \u201cHe (Cole) takes this matter seriously and always has the best interests of his patients in mind. However, he denies that he was negligent or otherwise used improper surgical techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Cannon has now had seven more surgeries to try to correct the injuries her lawsuit alleges Cole caused.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">\u201cI look worse than when I started seeing him. Permanent scarring that will never go away,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">These are not the first medical malpractice cases against Cole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">In fact, a $1.256 million judgment against him led to a landmark state supreme court case overturning limits on jury awards in 2010.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-tl066j-0 dowhnV body-paragraph\">Channel 2 Action News has also reached out to Northside Hospital where Cole had privileges and performed surgeries.
