Surgeon Marco Moraci , pictured with his wife , who has been suspended by the General Medical Council . A foreign plastic surgeon who left a pensioner scarred for life has been suspended after it emerged there have been 60 complaints about his work . The General Medical Council has barred Marco Moraci , who is one of a number of 'fly in fly out ' surgeons who jet into the UK from Europe to operate in private hospitals and then return home . Moraci , who lives in Naples with his TV star wife , is understood to have quit working in the UK last year after he failed to compensate Pearl Richman for a bungled facelift in 2010 . Mrs Richman , 67 , from Kenilworth in Warwickshire , has been left with scars after suffering from necrosis , a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of skin cells - and was left with open flesh wounds . She was awarded £43,000 in compensation by a court in Birmingham but is unlikely to receive the cash as the surgeon 's insurance company say he did not report the bungle to them . The Harley Medical Group , which organised the £8,000 surgery , went into administration but is not legally responsible for the surgeons it uses . Last month , the GMC stepped in after it became clear that there may be other victims of Moraci , after as many as 60 patients are understood to be complaining about their care . He has also been stopped from working as a doctor for 12 months while it is decided if he will face a disciplinary hearing . Moraci has also worked for the Hospital Group , who say that his rights to treat patients at their hospitals had been withdrawn . Now Mrs Richman is calling for the government to take action over 'fly in fly out ' foreign doctors who fly into the UK and undertake procedures before returning home . She said : 'He never talked about necrosis at all . It was n't mentioned . He talked about the normal risks but at no point at all did he mention necrosis . I just remember him saying that he would make me happy . 'When they took the drains out of my face it hurt so much , I screamed and it started to go purple . It went from a large purple bruise to a huge black scab that had the feel and look of leather . Pearl Richman who developed necrosis after undergoing a facelift performed by Marco Moraci , an Italian surgeon , who has been suspended by the General Medical Council . Mrs Richman was awarded £43,000 in compensation after the botched facelift but has yet to receive any of the money . 'Surgeons should not be limited to their country but the government should make sure there is a level of accountability through qualifications and insurances . 'Clinics should also be responsible for the actions of the surgeons they use . ' Clinical negligence lawyer Jeanette Whyman , of law firm Wright Hassall , is now pursuing the case . Mrs Richman , pictured with her lawyer Jeanette Whyman , is now calling for 'fly in fly out ' surgeons to be regulated . She told the Sunday People : 'Clinics normally ask the surgeon themselves to be insured . If something goes wrong a patient can not sue the clinic , they have to pursue the surgeon , which is extremely difficult if they are based abroad . 'It is really easy money for surgeons as the procedures are more expensive here and they don ’ t have to pay for the clinics . 'But if things go wrong very often it falls back on the NHS to put things right , which begs the question why there is not more regulation . ' Dr Moraci refused to comment on the allegations against him when contacted at his Naples home .
