Protect yourself From Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice
From television shows such as “The Swan” and “I Want a Famous Face” to movie stars emblazoned on magazine covers, society is always bludgeoning you with images of cosmetically enhanced people. However, just because cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure does not mean that medical malpractice doesn’t occur.
Kinds of Procedures
There are many cosmetic surgery procedures that can result in injury and even death. Eve basic operations such as Botox are subject to negligence. Common cosmetic malpractice lawsuits stem from aesthetic surgeries such as:
· Breast augmentation surgery
· Liposuction
· Forehead lifts
· Hair replacement
· Laser surgery
· Tummy tucks
· Eyelid surgery
Most of these are basic procedures. However, negligence during them can cause problems to arise that result in you needing additional, costly work done to repair the damage.
Do Your Research!
Cosmetic surgery malpractice was brought to the forefront by the relatively recent death of Donda West, rapper Kanye West’s mother. Donda died following numerous cosmetic surgery procedures; only after her death was it brought to light that her surgeon was not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to perform these procedures. Unfortunately—and very troubling—is the fact that this is neither rare nor unique.
If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, here are some essential tips to ensure your safety:
· Consult with your personal physician to make sure that your healthy enough to undergo the surgery
· Check that the American Board of Plastic Surgery certifies your surgeon. If they are, you can rest assured that he/she has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed at least five years of additional training as a resident surgeon
· Research your doctor’s hospital affiliations. If he/she is recognized by a hospital that means their work is held accountable by another organization
· Talk to some of the surgeon’s previous patients
· If an anesthesiologist will be used, do research on him/her. Anesthesia malpractice is a common culprit of medical malpractice lawsuits
Are You The Victim of Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice?
Here’s what you shouldn’t do:
· You don’t need to live with inferior and/or unwanted results
· You don’t need to be bullied into paying for another procedure to fix your surgeon’s mistakes
· And if you do need surgery to repair a surgeon’s negligence, you should never return to the same surgeon
If you have suffered as a result of a mistake during cosmetic surgery, it is important to let other people know. A cosmetic surgery malpractice lawsuit not only punishes the negligent surgeon, but can alert others to the dangers you suffered.
If you live in Atlanta and have been the victim of cosmetic surgery malpractice, please contact Robbins & Associates, PC for your free consultation to determine what your options are for reparation.

Michigan Medical Malpractice Claims Due To Surgery Mistakes
Michigan medical malpractice lawyers often represent patients who have suffered injuries due to medical mistakes during surgeries and surgical procedures. Many of these injuries are very serious, often requiring extensive medical treatment and the need for additional surgeries. When a surgical error causes a death, it can give rise to a Michigan wrongful death lawsuit.
Surgery malpractice lawsuits are filed against surgeons for a number of complications that occur during the actual surgery itself and during post-operative care. Although, many surgical procedures have inherent risks and complications to surgical procedures, there are many unfortunate injuries and deaths that are caused due to surgical errors. A careful analysis of the medical records is necessary to determine whether an injury or death was caused by medical malpractice or whether it was an inherent risk of the surgery.
The most common types of surgery malpractice cases include:
-Appendectomy Surgery
-Angioplasty Surgery
-Gallbladder Surgery
-Endoscopy Surgery
-Hernia Repair Surgery
-Colonoscopy Surgery
-Aortic Dissection Surgery
-Back Surgery
-Neck Surgery
-Kidney Surgery
-Spinal Surgery
-Breast Surgery
-Cataract Surgery
-Lasik Surgery
-Bariatric Surgery
-Gastric Bypass Surgery
-Heart Bypass Surgery
-Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery
-Cholecystectomy Surgery
-Dilitation and Curettage Surgery
-Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery
-Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic Surgery
There are risks involved in every surgery and surgical procedure and not all poor results are due to medical malpractice. A lawsuit can only be filed when there is a surgery error or mistake that caused your injury. Risks of surgery include:
-Infections, such as sepsis
-Bleeding
-Need for additional surgeries
-Cardiac arrest
-Anesthesia error
-Death
Although these are common risks of surgery, they may also be the result of medical malpractice. Medical malpractice arises when a surgeon either commits an error during the surgery itself that causes an injury or fails to detect an injury that occurs during surgery that causes harm to the patient. There are also occasions when the patient develops a condition after the surgery while still admitted to the hospital but is discharged too soon and suffers additional injuries as a result.
An experienced medical malpractice lawyers can review your medical chart and surgery records and determine whether your injury was the result of negligent treatment or just a normal risk or complication of your procedure. Medical malpractice can also occur due to improper treatment, misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, and failure to order necessary medical testing before discharging a patient home. There are strict time limitations for filing medical malpractice cases in Michigan and if you wait too long, your case may be barred forever.
