When a Surgery That’s Supposed to Help Actually Hurts

When you go under the knife for cosmetic surgery, you expect it to be a little painful in the short term, and you’re prepared for that. Ultimately, you elected to get this procedure to help you, but what happens when a surgery that’s supposed to help actually ends up hurting us?

No matter what happened during your botched cosmetic surgery, it’s important to contact a lawyer about your claim as soon as possible.

Plastic Surgery Malpractice

With any type of medical procedure, there is the possibility for human error and medical malpractice. After any type of post-surgical unfavorable outcome, it is absolutely critical to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. Cases of malpractice aren’t always immediately apparent. It can take months or even years of investigation to get to the bottom of what when wrong. The sooner you speak with a personal injury lawyer, the better possible chance you have at a good outcome in your claim. You can’t go back in time, but you may be able to collect compensation to cover your injury expenses after a botched plastic surgery. Listed below are some common types of cosmetic surgeries and procedures.

  • Botox
  • Collagen injections

Surgery on The Wrong Body Part

Surprisingly, surgery on the wrong part of the body does happen sometimes. Not only do you not get the procedure that you needed, you get work done on a body part that you didn’t want touched at all. This can mean you might need to come in for an additional procedure to fix what was done to the wrong body part. Additionally, you still haven’t had the original procedure that you originally wanted. While this seems like a far-fetched scenario, you might be surprised at how often it happens. It’s painful and very costly for patients who have to deal with this type of malpractice.

Wrongful Death and Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice

When a cosmetic surgery goes wrong, people can die. Just because you’re going in for a routine cosmetic procedure, that doesn’t mean you might not suffer from life-threatening malpractice. Any type of medical procedure can carry a risk, whether it’s cosmetic or not, and that risk is greatly increased when medical professionals are acting negligently. If you have lost a loved one due to suspected cosmetic surgery malpractice, you need to contact a lawyer immediately about a wrongful death lawsuit. While no amount of money can bring you loved one back, you may be able to recover compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, funeral expenses and other costs associated with the unnecessary and untimely death of your loved one.
