NYC Cosmetic Surgery Malpractice Lawyer
People have plastic surgery for a variety of reasons. They may be self-conscious about a part of their body. They may want to remedy a scar or disfigurement. They may just want to look better. When a plastic surgeon is negligent, not only are a patient's goals unmet, but the patient will look even worse than before the procedure.
I am Robert Cherofsky, a seasoned medical malpractice attorney with experience in these cases. I have recovered plastic surgery malpractice settlements and verdicts for adverse outcomes of elective cosmetic surgery.
Call me at (845)875-4096 for a free case evaluation to determine if you have grounds to sue for malpractice resulting from plastic surgery. I practice throughout the New York City metropolitan area, including Westchester County, Dutchess County, Orange County, Putnam County, Albany County and Rockland County.
Did the Doctor Botch Your Plastic Surgery?
In nearly three decades of practice, I have successfully sued surgeons, hospitals and outpatient clinics in many cases of cosmetic surgery gone wrong:
- Breast augmentation (implants)
- Breast reduction surgery
- Facelifts, chin lifts, eyelids
- Nose jobs (rhinoplasty)
- Varicose veins
- Other cosmetic enhancements
- Dental malpractice
Bad plastic surgery outcomes usually result from the doctor's bad planning. There is no promise of perfection, but there are professional standards for where nipples, belly buttons and eyebrows should be when the bandages come off. Malpractice claims may arise when there is gross scarring, body parts are misaligned or the overall effect is seriously asymmetrical or distorted.
I have also brought plastic surgery malpractice lawsuits for medical complications of cosmetic surgery, including damaged facial nerves or life-threatening infection from anesthesia error.
Damages in a lawsuit for cosmetic surgery malpractice could include physical disability (nerve damage, chronic pain), disfigurement and the emotional suffering and public humiliation.
