:: Plastic (Cosmetic) Surgery Malpractice
|
PLASTIC SURGERY MALPRACTICE - Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in cosmetic surgery, otherwise known as plastic surgery. Elective, asthetic surgery is a very profitable business, so it has led thousands of unlicensed and frankly, inexperienced and unskilled doctors to enter the business. Millions of people every year get a cosmetic procedure whether it is non-surgical like botox and laser skin rejuvenation or an invasive surgical procedure like breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, tummy tucks, or liposuction.
Marketing for these procedures is everywhere, but oversight of the people performing these procedures is severely lacking. Great care needs to be taken when choosing a cosmetic surgeon, or the consequences can be devastating and life changing.
We have compiled a list of some of the most popular procedures performed today along with some of the complications that our clients have experienced. These complications or mistakes by the surgeon or their staff have led to serious health problems or death in many of the clients represented by our network.
