Negligent plastic surgery

Negligent plastic surgery leading to disfigurement. Our client sought cosmetic evaluation and treatment for a stomach that had been stretched from childbirth. The plastic surgeon recommended and performed liposuction as well as abdominoplasty, which resulted in a disabling and unsightly infection, and permanent disfigurement.

Our expert concluded that performance of both types of plastic surgery is contraindicated in the abdominal area because of the area’s vascularity.
