Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice

Cosmetic surgery malpractice occurs when a patient suffers harm due to a surgeon’s negligence or failure to meet accepted medical standards during cosmetic procedures. This can include improper surgical techniques, lack of informed consent, failure to adequately address complications, or inadequate pre- and post-operative care. Patients may experience physical injuries, emotional distress, or financial loss as a result. In such cases, victims may seek legal recourse by filing a malpractice claim, which requires proving that the surgeon did not provide the level of care expected in the field of cosmetic surgery.
