As our society becomes increasingly obsessed with youth and beauty, it is not surprising that people are increasingly insecure about their bodies. And as improvements in technology have allowed the field of plastic surgery to accomplish just about anything, people have responded by trying to “fix” their insecurities by going under the knife. The number of people now choosing to undergo surgery for cosmetic reasons is not surprising, but the number of patients that are severely injured or killed by doing so certainly is.
Many people view plastic surgery as somehow removed from the dangers of typical surgery. But whether it is organ surgery or a nose reshaping, it is a serious, invasive surgery, and by definition surgery is dangerous. If you have been injured from a plastic surgery procedure, contact the St. Petersburg medical malpractice lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A., by calling 1-800-931-4369.
In addition to the dangers inherent in any surgery, the extreme and growing demand for plastic surgery has resulted in hundreds of sub-par or even unlicensed doctors moving into this lucrative field. Plastic surgery complications include:
- Severe infection
- Serious scarring
- Mistakes or slips of the scalpel resulting in defacement
- Incisions which never heal
- Bursting implants
- Rejection of implants by the body
