A Miami Injury Attorney Advocating For Victims Of Plastic Surgery Malpractice
Once considered to be just for Hollywood celebrities, cosmetic plastic surgery has grown in popularity among the members of the public – especially here in South Florida. Most of the time, these procedures are performed without incident by experienced and highly trained surgeons. When something goes wrong, however, the results can be disastrous for the health and appearance of patients.
If you were the victim of plastic surgery malpractice in the Miami area, Stiers Law, P.A., can help you seek accountability and compensation. My firm is exclusively focused on personal injury law, including medical negligence. With over 20 years in practice, I have helped injured patients pursue medical malpractice claims for issues and complications stemming from cosmetic plastic surgery procedures like:
- Breast augmentations and breast lifts (mastopexy)
- Facelifts (rhytidectomy)
- Nose jobs (rhinoplasty)
- Liposuction
- Eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty)
- Tummy tucks (abdominoplasty)
- Hair transplants
- Ear reshaping (otoplasty)
I have an in-depth knowledge of the standards of care that medical professionals must meet, and I am connected to a network of medical experts who can provide relevant testimony in medical malpractice litigation. When you hire my firm, you will work directly with an experienced injury lawyer who will give you and your case the attention you deserve.
What’s At Stake When Cosmetic Surgery Goes Wrong
Even if it is an elective procedure done “for looks,” cosmetic surgery is still surgery. When the surgeon is negligent, the consequences can be more serious than simply being unhappy with the results. Dangers include the risks of:
- Serious infections at the incision site or internally near an implant
- Allergic reactions to implanted materials or the equipment used in the procedure
- Breathing difficulties following a nose job (rhinoplasty)
- Implant complications (with breast implants), such as rupture, leakage or incorrect placement, which can lead to additional surgeries and health problems
- Nerve damage that leads to loss of sensation or chronic pain in the affected area
- Anesthesia errors resulting in serious issues such as brain damage, heart problems or even death
- Scarring and disfigurement that may be permanent, leading to ongoing medical and psychological issues
- Blood clots developing after surgery that can lead to life-threatening conditions like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
If you’ve suffered any of the above outcomes or were otherwise harmed during cosmetic surgery, count on me to conduct a thorough and independent investigation into what went wrong and why. Then, I may be able to help you pursue a medical malpractice claim against the surgeon and the facility where the procedure took place.
