Three Common Plastic Surgery Errors

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

With the cosmetic surgery business booming all over the country, many people are seeking out a reputable cosmetic surgeon to enhance their appearance. Whether it is for vanity or medical reasons, cosmetic surgery offices can be found all of over major cities and even in smaller towns. But with all areas of medicine, all cosmetic surgeons are not the same. Some people opt to go with the cheapest surgeon they can find and end up with a disfigured face or an infection somewhere on their body. Ultimately, their choice of a cheap plastic surgeon may lead to an expensive medical malpractice attorney.

If you speak with a Chicago malpractice lawyer they will most likely tell you they have seen a wide variety of cosmetic surgery failures and have represented these individuals in court. Many surgeons claim they are qualified for procedures they cannot perform and end up causing serious damages to the face and body of their patients. Listed below are four common plastic surgery errors to watch out for:

  • Face Lift Infection

One of the most dangerous infections one can contract are Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. MRSA is one of the most difficult infections to treat and its complications can lead to death in some cases. If a surgeon failed to use the proper sanitary measures you may have a case.

  • Breast Implant Rupture

Breast implants are one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures which offers the highest probability for an incident. Damage from surgical tools, mammogram compression, injuries to the breast, and biopsies can all lead to an implant rupture.

  • Nerve Damage from Lip Augmentation

“Lip jobs” have skyrocketed in popularity and fake doctors all over the country have been injecting a wide variety of fluids and gels instead of performing the proper procedure. Permanent loss of sensation to the lips is one of many possible injuries.

If you have ever suffered an injury from plastic surgery you need to call a medical malpractice attorney right away. Newer cases can be fought immediately and older cases can also be tried if your injuries are still provable in a court of law. Don’t wait – call a Chicago malpractice lawyer now.
