Miami Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice Lawyers
Were You Injured Due to Cosmetic Surgery in South Florida?
The state of Florida is viewed by many as a top cosmetic surgery destination due to its relaxed medical regulations, multiple tourist hot spots and discounted deals on cosmetic surgeries. While there are many skilled cosmetic surgeons in Florida, the state is also home to a multitude of unqualified and unlicensed surgeons who target unsuspecting patients. These patients can be allured by the promise of a discount tummy tuck, Braziliam Butt Lift or other surgery. Then, the surgeons offering these low prices may downplay the risks associated with the desired surgery and omit mentioning what could happen in the case of medical malpractice. As recent years have shown, cosmetic surgeries can result in catastrophic injuries or death for unsuspecting patients.

The firm has represented those injured by medical malpractice since 1988 and has had success amounting to millions of dollars for their clients. Esteemed organizations, such as Lawdragon 500® and Martindale-Hubbell®, have honored them for their legal acumen and attentive care to their clients.

The Risks of Common Cosmetic Surgery
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that 18.1 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2019, with 16.3 million of those being minimally invasive. An additional 5.9 million reconstructive procedures were performed, as well. Hence, cosmetic surgery is quite common in the United States.
Many people think the more common a surgery is, the less associated risk it carries. The sad truth is that this perception simply does not reflect reality. People in Miami and throughout South Florida seeking routine procedures, such as tummy tucks or Brazilian butt lifts, have died from medical errors or the use of unsafe chemicals. For the most part, these tragic incidents resulted from reckless and negligent operations performed at unlicensed surgical centers that should not have been open in the first place.
Sadly, those deaths and catastrophic injuries are not a thing of the past. Every year, patients are injured due to cosmetic surgery. Even minor surgeries can result in death, such as comedian Joan Rivers’ death following a routine endoscopy involving medical malpractice. She was not an outlier, either, asUSA TODAY reported 13 women lost their lives and nearly a dozen more were hospitalized after receiving cosmetic surgeries in just a handful of South Florida’s clinics between 2013 and 2018.
Potential Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice Complications
Malpractice in cosmetic surgery goes beyond being unsatisfied with results; it causes genuine harm to a patient, such as:
- Adversely affected by anesthesia
- Blood clotting
- 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
Determining Whether Malpractice Occurred
Even with the most skilled and attentive surgeons, there is a margin of error during surgery. But when surgeons do not take proper precautions to prevent severely injuring patients, they are considered negligent.
A patient may have a case if their surgeon subjected them to negligence, such as:
- Disregarding a patient’s medical history
- Failure to identify and address complications
- Improper use of medical equipment
- Performing surgery without consent
- Performing the wrong surgery
- Practicing without a license
- Unaddressed anesthesia complications
- Use of faulty equipment
- Inadequate or inappropriate post-operative follow up.
