Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice

We have all seen the pictures of terribly disfigured faces and bodies. One can only imagine the mental and physical pain experienced by someone who pays for a procedure to enhance their appearance, only to end up the victim of cosmetic surgery malpractice.

As usual, MalpracticeAttorneys.com urges everyone to do extensive research before choosing a doctor. Verify their license, check reviews online, and consult with the Better Business Bureau. There is a website specifically for plastic surgeon reviews: www.realself.com  

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the top 5 procedures performed in 2014 were:

2014 vs. 2013
Breast augmentation (286,000) ↓ 1%
Nose reshaping (217,000) ↓ 2%
Liposuction (211,000) ↑ 5%
Eyelid surgery (207,000) ↓ 4%
Facelift (128,000) ↓ 4%

Unlike many instances of medical malpractice where the mistakes are not patently evident, it’s usually fairly obvious when a plastic surgeon has not done a good job. There are malpractice attorneys who specialize in cases where a plastic surgeon has made errors, and MalpracticeAttorneys.com has partnered with these experts located in all 50 states. 

Important: There is an issue to be aware of if you consider traveling overseas to have a cosmetic procedure performed in order to save money. The First Amendment, which guarantees your right to access our court system to seek compensation for injuries or other damages, does not apply when you are outside the United States. If you suffer an injury due to carelessness, negligence, or malpractice, you may not have an avenue to pursue justice.
