Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is any surgical procedure performed for the purposes of appearance. Reconstructive surgery is a form of cosmetic surgery. This is one example of how cosmetic surgery is not only superficial and beautifying. It fills the purpose of allowing those whom have disfigured portions of their body to regain their self-esteem by undergoing cosmetic procedures. According to the United States Census Bureau in 2007, there were 11.5 million cosmetic surgeries in the year 2006.  In a percentage of these surgeries, errors, mistakes, and negligence did occur. 

There are many different surgical procedures in the area of cosmetic surgery, including:

• Plastic Surgery
• Blepharoplasty (Surgery of the Eyelids)
• Facial Scar Revision
• Forehead Lifts
• Hair Replacement
• Laser Surgery
• Mentoplasty (Surgery of the Chin)
• Otoplasty (Surgery of the Ears)
• Rhinoplasty (Surgery of the Nose)
• Rhytidectomy (Surgery of the Face)
• Skin Resurfacing
• Breast Implants

Cosmetic surgery malpractice is a common occurrence when ill-equipped medical practitioners, like doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals carry out such relatively simple cosmetic procedures like Botox injections and forehead lifts. Negligence of this kind is criminal. It can happen to anyone. Do not let medical professionals abuse the medical profession by executing faulty and negligent cosmetic surgery.

Contact us if you or anyone you know has undergone a cosmetic surgery operation and have doubts whether the doctor or medical professional performed his duties correctly. Medical negligence should not be tolerated.
