What is Medical Negligence Plastic Surgery?

Are you dying to be beautiful?

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. Cosmetic surgery is also considered plastic surgery. Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. The five most common plastic surgeries are breast augmentation, liposuction, nasal surgery, eyelid surgery, and lip enhancement.

Plastic surgery gone wrong is more common than you think.

Open any magazine and there lies numerous advertisements for improving your looks – tummy tucks, breast implants, cheek implants, facelifts, wrinkles away, brow lifts, butt lifts and buttock shaping, lip enlargement, nose jobs, liposuction, laser hair removal, and more.

The great American disorder is that women (and some men) are never happy about their appearance. Their collective self esteem is in the toilet because of media standards set by celebrities who consistently and sometimes secretly “go under the knife” only to have their share of plastic surgery disasters too.

Doctors and dentists looking to add more revenue to their practice are adding cosmetic surgery procedures for which they only have rudimentary training. That, plus the offer of a deal or low cost procedure can be a warning sign for plastic surgery mess ups. Beware of the medi-spa. Often a doctor will lend his name for promotional purposes and financial compensation.

People wanting to improve their idea of beautiful, will go the distance to pay large sums of money out of their own pocket for plastic surgery... mistakes.

There are so many tricks and tools to suction, fill, nip, and tuck every imperfection, much of it without any medical regulations. Plastic surgery is invasive and like all surgery, not without disasters and complications.

A small sample of plastic surgery medical negligence disasters include:

• Breast implants: nipples turning black, inflamed breasts, ruptured artery, massive infection
• Liposuction: infection from dirty instruments and unsanitary conditions, additional surgery to remove dead tissue
• Laser treatments: third-degree burns on inner thighs, stomach, and back; leg nerve and muscle damage

In general, there are always risks for blood clots, severe infection, respiratory complications, disfigurement, anesthesia reactions, extreme pain, blood poisoning, emotional pain & suffering, long-term disability, financial ruin, and death.
