North Carolina Plastic Surgery Malpractice Lawyer
When Plastic Surgery Goes Wrong
If you or a loved one underwent plastic or cosmetic surgery and suffered any type of physical or emotional injury because the surgeon made a mistake, was inexperienced or was otherwise negligent, a North Carolina plastic surgery malpractice lawyer at our firm can help you take the appropriate legal action.
No surgical procedure is entirely risk-free, but there are particular circumstances where a plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgeon or
anesthesiologist may provide sub-standard care. This may occur before an operation or may be related to post-operative care or the procedure itself. When malpractice occurs in any surgical or non-surgical procedure related to this field, a patient may be left suffering from serious pain, infection, scars or disfigurement. A procedure that was supposed to restore a youthful looking appearance may have the opposite effect. An operation that was supposed to restore form and function to a body part may leave a patient in worse shape than before the procedure.
A patient has the right to expect a standard level of care when utilizing the services of a plastic surgeon. When this does not occur, that patient may be able to hold the responsible surgeon, facility or anesthesiologist accountable for their conduct. Our firm offers experienced legal counsel for all types of plastic surgery malpractice claims in North Carolina, including:
- Liposuction
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Face lift
- Tummy tuck
- Breast augmentation, lift or reduction
- Anesthesia errors
- Non-surgical procedures
