America's Next Top model star Lisa D'Amatoto tweets gruesome photos of her broken nose after suffering freak accident
As a model her face is her fortune.
But self-confessed 'tomboy' Lisa D'Amato was left with a broken nose and smashed face when a handstand went wrong.
The America's Next Top Model: All Stars champion posted gruesome images of her bruised and swollen face on Facebook and Instagram on Tuesday.
The fun-loving 32-year-old explained she was healing after the freak accident occurred last week, when she took a bad fall with a crew member of her new movie and landed on her face.

The 5ft 9in blonde, who won Cycle 17 of Tyra Banks' ANTM in 2011, told People.com she had just wrapped filming indie movie Cowboys and Indians and was 'monkeying around' with a pal on set.
She was attempting to do a handstand up against the crew member, who has not been named, but instead, her handstand partner fell on top of her.
'It was a totally freak accident. It wasn't like we were doing back flips off the balcony,' she explained.
As People reports, D'Amato was taken to an emergency room but was referred to another hospital for cosmetic surgery.
Message to her fans: The upbeat television personality explained more about the accident on her Instagram account, and showed she's healing up well
Trying to laugh off the incident, she added: 'I didn't have the best nose in the world to begin with. It gave me character. Now I have a nice little nose job. I get a super cute nose.'
The incident came at a particularly bad time for the star, who was planning to leave for a belated honeymoon with husband Adam Friedman shortly after production wrapped.
D'Amato did not say if the pair were postponing their trip.
The model married Friedman, an entrepreneur, in Hollywood, Califoia last September.
As she was: Lisa's nose before the accident
She first competed in Cycle 5 on America's Next Top Model in 2005 and became known for her brash, outspoken ways.
D'Amato told fans on Instagram she has been doing her best to stay upbeat throughout her recovery.
'Thanks for all the kinds wishes and conces,' she wrote, adding, [I] will be gladly willing to show off my new Disney Princess face that Dr. Magic said I'd have after headling.... As you can see I'm doing just fine.'
