Dallas Cosmetic Surgery Error Lawyer
Surgical Error Attorney Dallas & North Texas
Hundreds of thousands of Texans undergo cosmetic surgery, often called plastic surgery, every year. Some of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures include breast augmentation to increase the size of women's breasts, liposuction to remove excess fat, and various kinds of surgery to tighten the skin to remove wrinkles and other evidence of aging.
Cosmetic and plastic surgery is so common, in fact, that people have been lulled into a false sense of security, believing that these procedures are "safe" and error free. Sadly, there is nothing safe about cosmetic and plastic surgery. Any kind of surgery comes with risks, and when performed negligently, cosmetic surgery can lead to horribly disfiguring injuries, nerve damage, and even death.
Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice by Unqualified Doctors
Even a well trained surgeon can make a terrible mistake. It is obvious, though, that cosmetic surgery error is much less likely to occur when your surgeon has had years of training in how to perform plastic surgery and how to handle problems when they arise.
As the popularity of cosmetic and plastic surgery grows, our Dallas surgical error lawyers have seen a frightening trend developing in this country. Doctors who have no business doing any kind of cosmetic or plastic surgery are regularly risking patients’ lives and safety to make a profit. There is a lot of money to be made by doing cosmetic surgery, particularly in cities like Dallas or Houston where thousands of people have enough money to spend on cosmetic surgery and regularly seek out these services.
This "easy money" has resulted in many doctors who have no plastic surgery training at all opening "Medical Spas" or "Rejuvenation Clinics" and advertising cosmetic procedures. Many of these doctors go to a weekend course and then hold themselves out as being competent to perform procedures like liposuction, face lifts, and dermoplasty. Unsuspecting patients who think they are getting a trained plastic surgeon instead are treated by a doctor with little or no training in surgery and who most likely will not know what to do if things go wrong.
