Before:
Following a brutal acid attack, Italian beauty Gessica Notaro is showing her face for the very first time.
Earlier this year, Gessica's ex-boyfriend Jorge Edson Tavares allegedly emptied a bottle of acid on her face following their breakup — causing the former Miss Italia finalist and aquarium worker to spend two months "imprisoned" in a hospital room to treat the horrific injury.

"While the acid ate away at my face I was on my knees praying. I prayed to God: take away my beauty but at least leave me with my sight," Gessica said on the Maurizio Costanzo show after revealing her now completely burnt face to the audience. "I have to spend all my money on medication – every half hour I need eye drops and I have to moisturize my skin constantly. I cannot do my job because I can't go in the water."
After Acid:
Today, Gessica, 27, is slowly healing from her wounds while her ex, who denies the allegations, is awaiting trial.
"I actually felt the plastic of the bottle on my face," she explained on the talk show, according to the Daily Mail. "He lifted his arm to make sure he emptied the bottle completely and didn't leave one drop. My face was burning and I instantly started losing my sight."
She continued, "The night the attack happened, I prayed and said: 'Take away my beauty or whatever needs to be taken away, but please let me keep my eyes.'"
