Helping Victims of Cosmetic Surgery Errors.

Practice Areas

Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice Attorneys

Many people come to Florida for cosmetic surgery due to its relaxed medical regulations, multiple tourist hot spots, and discounted deals on cosmetic surgeries. Sadly, many patients are also injured by negligent, unqualified, or unlicensed practitioners.

Allured by the promise of a discount tummy tuck or Brazilian butt lift, these patients are often not properly informed by their providers or clinics about the risks of the procedure or potential post-surgery complications. Without proper care and follow up, cosmetic surgeries can result in catastrophic injuries or death for unsuspecting patients.

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen can help you hold negligent surgical centers and the healthcare providers working there accountable for their actions. We stand ready to help. Contact our experienced team today to schedule a free consultation.

The Risks of Common Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is common in the U.S. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 18.1 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2019. Some people think the more common a surgery is, the less risky it is, but sadly this is not true.

People seeking routine procedures, such as tummy tucks, breast augmentation, or buttock lifts, have died from medical errors or the use of unsafe chemicals. Many of these tragic incidents result from reckless and negligent operations performed at unlicensed surgical centers that should not have been open in the first place.

Injuries Caused by Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice

Malpractice in cosmetic surgery goes beyond being unsatisfied with results. It can cause genuine harm to a patient, such as:

  • Adverse effects of anesthesia
  • P.E. or Pulmonary Embolism
  • Damaged tissue, such as necrosis
  • Death
  • Deformity
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Heart attack
  • Infection
  • Loss of feeling
  • Nerve damage
  • Partial or full paralysis
  • Scarring or swelling
  • Stroke
  • Trouble breathing

How Do You Know If You Have Been a Victim of Medical Malpractice?

Even with the best care and the most skilled and attentive surgeons, there are unavoidable risks of surgery. But when a patient is harmed because a surgeon did not provide a reasonable standard of care, the surgeon is considered negligent.

You may be able to bring a claim for medical malpractice if you were harmed because your surgeon did any of the following:

  • Disregarded a patient’s medical history
  • Failed to identify and address complications
  • Improperly used medical equipment
  • Performed surgery without informed consent
  • Performed the wrong surgery or the correct surgery on the wrong body part
  • Practiced without a license
  • Failed to address anesthesia complications
  • Used faulty medical equipment
  • Provided inadequate or inappropriate post-operative follow-up
