Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is any procedure performed for the purpose of altering or reconstructing your appearance. Cosmetic surgery is a growing medical industry in the United States. The most popular surgical procedures include: liposuction, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, adominoplasty, and breast reduction. The most common non-surgical procedures are Botox injections, hyaluronic acid injections, laser hair removal, micodermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing.
These procedures are not just for the wealthy anymore. It is estimated in the United States alone there were approximately 11.5 million cosmetic procedures in 2006. This represents an increase of 446 percent since 1997.
Unfortunately, there has also been an increase in ill-equipped medical doctors and other health care professionals performing procedures which they may not be qualified to perform. If you have had a cosmetic procedure that has resulted in a medical error or if your doctor was negligent in the medical surgery or follow-up medical care a personal injury attorney familiar with medical malpractice laws can help file your personal injury claim.
