OHIO COSMETIC SURGERY MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY

Holding Negligent and Carless Cosmetic Surgeons and Aesthetic Specialists Accountable

Cosmetic surgery mistakes fall under the umbrella of medical malpractice law. Although cosmetic surgery is typically elective, a cosmetic surgeon still has the responsibility to provide a certain standard of care and warn you of any potential risks before you choose to move forward with the procedure.

Did your cosmetic surgery not go as promised and now you’re left with life-altering side effects? Did your cosmetic surgeon fail to provide a proper standard of care, resulting in considerable damage, chronic pain or a disability? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a case for cosmetic surgery malpractice.

What Is Cosmetic Surgery?

Some of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery include:

• Breast augmentation: Typically done using silicone gel prosthetics or fat grafting
• Liposuction: Removing excess fat to improve the shape of the body
• Rhinoplasty: Cosmetic surgery meant to reshape the nose
• Lip augmentation: Injecting fillers to create fuller-looking lips
• Hair transplantation: Cosmetic surgery intended to restore hair growth and reduce baldness
• Abdominoplasty: Commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, the surgery removes excess fat and improves the shape and appearance of the abdomen

How to Know if You Have a Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice Case

Surgical procedures come with an inherent risk of potential complications. Sometimes, despite a doctor’s best efforts, unforeseen complications can occur and result in disastrous consequences. For cosmetic surgery malpractice to occur, you must show your doctor acted with negligence and deviated from the standard care expected from a qualified and competent medical professional. You’ll also need to establish a clear link between this negligence and your injuries.

For example, if your doctor performed a procedure without your consent or failed to explain the risks of surgery and subsequently caused you harm, you may have a medical malpractice case.

Other examples of medical malpractice include:

• Surgical errors resulting in nerve damage, internal bleeding, excessive scarring or injuries
• Infection due to improperly sterilized surgical tools
• Dangerous side effects from prescribing the wrong medication or dosage
• Anesthesia errors resulting in a heart attack, brain damage, coma or death
