You may be able to bring a malpractice lawsuit against your surgeon if the victim of cosmetic surgery that was not done correctly. Cosmetic procedures like breast implants and fat removal aren't medically advisable however, they do carry risks. The surgeons must inform patients about common risks, which are unavoidable, and unwanted results. They must also allow patients to decide whether they prefer the benefits over the risks.

A mishap with a cosmetic procedure could be as simple or complicated as a plastic surgeon who is inexperienced performing an unnecessary procedure. You may be entitled compensation for the loss of earnings, pain and future medical expenses in the event of an injury, based on the severity of the injury. You could also file a claim under vicarious responsibility against the surgeon's employers.

Failure to Diagnose
Everyone hopes that their doctor will take new or troubling symptoms seriously and conduct the necessary tests to accurately diagnose an injury or illness. If a health professional fails to meet this requirement and the patient is harmed it could be deemed medical malpractice.
When a doctor doesn't properly diagnose a patient, it may cause unnecessary harm, and even death. For instance an infection that is not treated can get worse and eventually lead to sepsis, which can be a life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment.
A failure to diagnosis claim is typically supported by evidence that shows healthcare professionals had an obligation to care for the patient and that the doctor did not fulfill that duty, and that his negligence caused the patient's injuries. A successful case will likely require expert testimony from a certified medical professional regarding the appropriate standard of care and how the actions of the doctor accused deviated from the standard.
In many instances healthcare professionals are learning from their mistakes and implementing changes to improve healthcare. For instance, after several cases of death in which doctors were unable detect heart attacks, it was discovered that women have different symptoms than men and healthcare professionals must be more aware of these differences. These lessons can be used to avoid any future errors. If you suspect that your doctor has not properly diagnosed you or someone you love, seek out an attorney right away to determine if there is an action for malpractice.
Failure to follow the post-surgery protocol
If a physician fails to follow proper post-surgery guidelines and a patient is injured, malpractice claims can be filed against the healthcare provider. For example surgeons who do not instruct patients to follow certain instructions that decrease infections may be held liable for medical negligence.
A doctor's failure in providing informed consent is yet another type of malpractice claim. This is an important part of any medical procedure since it allows the patient to make an informed decision about the treatment. For instance If a doctor does not inform the patient that the proposed surgery comes with a 30-percent chance of losing a limb, the patient will likely opt out of the operation even if they were completely aware of the risk.
Physicians involved in malpractice lawsuit litigation could encounter a legal system that is hostile. It requires a lot of resources, including time spent in courtroom and settlement negotiations.
There are a variety of ways to reduce the frequency and severity of malpractice lawsuits. For instance, some states have implemented enterprise liability, which places the responsibility for malpractice lawsuits with the health care organization rather than the individual physicians who are liable for the claims. This has led to lower malpractice payouts and higher premiums.
Injuries caused by surgical errors
Surgeons and hospitals must ensure that the procedure is safe. Inability to verify patient information and to properly prepare the operating room, mark incision sites or instruct staff on the surgical checklists can lead to numerous mistakes. The estimates suggest that 4,000 surgical errors are committed in the United States each year, that's about 11 per day. These medical malpractice incidents can result in serious injuries including internal bleeding and nerve damage.
A malpractice claim that is based on surgical error has to demonstrate that the health professional fell below the standard of care and caused injury to the patient. To prove this an attorney's team must gather evidence that is of a high standard. Medical records and bills are included. It is a good idea to keep track of the names of the health care providers and dates of interactions so that attorneys can present a convincing case.
Many medical malpractice cases state that hospital staff members or surgeons members did not adhere to the standards of care during a procedure. However, not all mistakes that occur during surgery are considered to be malpractice. A successful malpractice claim must establish four elements: a health care professional's legal duty in breach of this duty, injury resulting by the negligence and damages. A lawyer may review medical records and consult third-party experts to determine whether a surgeon's or other health care provider’s actions were a violation of the standard of practice.
