Plastic surgery has grown in popularity worldwide because most individuals will go to great measures to improve their appearance. Unfortunately, these procedures do not always work and might result in long-term face deformities and injuries.This was the scenario surrounding well-known reality star Elsa Patton, best known for her participation on “The Real Housewives of Miami.”

She only featured on the show for two years, from 2011 to 2013, yet that was enough for her to gain popularity. Her humorous remarks and energetic manner helped her gain recognition as a character. Elsa Patton underwent many procedures at the same time, leaving her so unrecognizable that a plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida, called it out, claiming that there was “no worse case” of plastic surgery gone wrong than hers.

Before Elsa Patton appeared on the show, little was known about her. According to Ancestry.com, she was born on August 25, 1936 in Cuba. She had been married to Donald Patton for over 50 years before his death in 2018, more than a year before Elsa’s. “Mama Elsa” and Donald had a son, Thomas Anthony Jones, and a daughter, Marysol Patton, who starred alongside her mother on “The Real Housewives of Miami” and later in the reboot.

Speaking about her mother, Marysol told Reality Tea, “Growing up, my mother always had so many people wanting to be around her; a lot of celebrities, a lot of very important people always wanted to be friends with my mother.” “Everyone was always fascinated by her so this doesn’t seem any different than how it’s always been.”

“It’s 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’s a little a different.” Marysol went on, “But she enjoys it very much.” Elsa’s spin-off show, Havana Elsa, started in 2012, chronicling her journey to launch her coffee company. “I enjoy Cuban coffee…

And now I’m going to have my own coffee, which will be excellent, to my taste, and will also make me money,” she said at the time, according to the Huffington Post. It was clear that she had done multiple plastic surgeries, even if she was never open about it. “The man who ruined my face” was how she described her surgeon.Elsa’s daughter, Maryson, offered additional information about her mother’s treatments, indicating that she suffered from hematomas in her eyes for nearly three years after having her eyelids done in the 1980s.

Benjamin C. Stong, a facial plastic surgeon at Atlanta, Georgia’s Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, said it’s “almost impossible to imagine” how she looked before her treatments. Dr. Farrior, a double-board certified surgeon in Tampa, Florida, is another expert in the area who described Elsa’s facial condition as a “tragedy” in terms of technique, ethics, and judgment.

“The chances are that she did not do it to herself, but was able to persuade someone to do it to her. “That is where it should have stopped,” Dr. Farrior wrote, emphasizing that it was the surgeon’s responsibility to deny further surgery. He went on to explain, “The real mistake was the choice she made for a provider because they did not say NO.”

Elsa suffered a stroke in 2013 and was admitted to the hospital just days before the third season of the reality show was set to begin filming.Her health deteriorated over the next few months and years, and on May 13, 2019, she died after “a long illness.” Elsa passed away at the age of eighty-four. In 2021, Marysol married Steve McNamara, the president of a Florida construction company, as a memorial to her mother.

A shaman officiated her Mayan nuptials. A source told Page Six, “It was the foundation of her mother’s spiritual-religious roots. She believed her mother’s influence prompted her to hold this type of ceremony – Elsa is still in charge!”Andy Cohen, the Real Housewives franchise’s founder and executive producer, paid a touching tribute to Elsa on his show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

stated, “Throughout the history of the Real Housewives, we have met many friends and relatives of the wives, but rarely has someone’s spirit, humor, and wisdom made such an indelible impression as Elsa’s did,” We will always treasure “Mama Elsa” and her wonderful personality. Peace be with her as she rests.
