Litigation in cosmetic surgery
With almost every entertainment personalities getting cosmetic surgery, a sort of fountain of youth for them, it cannot be denied that the onlookers—we viewers—has definitely taken ourselves to consider what is there that we should see as something worth slicing, removing or adding. There is this great need for each to see one’s flaws and try to change it. Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery is not something to be taken easily and neither is the fact that once things are changed it cannot be set back the way it used to be.
It can be gratifying. Going through cosmetic surgery has become a rewarding experience for others. Their lives have changed as their once “ugly” selves are no more but a “swan”. Romantic relationships are more intensified, confidence is given a high boost, and the rest takes a serious turn from nothing to more than something. Unfortunately, there are instances that a surgery goes wrong either through a medical mistake or by just the reason that the patient is not contented or was disappointed with the result.
Issues on cosmetic surgery have time and again faced litigation as can only be proven by court records from various states. Litigated procedures are primarily due to the aftermath of every surgery gone wrong. In this point the medical team, especially the doctor, should be investigated from every point of transaction, from his educational background to his practice.
There are certain court records, showing the practice of cosmetic surgery done by someone who haven’t even had a license for that specific field, has been put to trial due to that fact alone. An operation gone hay wire is a proof that cosmetic surgery is a risky thing to go through that may cause serious damage, striking more on the possibility of death.
Among the top litigated procedures that are ranking high on court trials are the nose surgery, the breast reduction and the eyelid surgery which comes as a surprise for most people. The nose surgery has gone long enough to have such publicity among the plastic surgery fanatics. This however is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure to be conducted that anything can go wrong gaining it 22% of its litigation trials.
Breast reduction involves the removal of tissue. Though some may ask why there are women who prefer to reduce their cup sizes while the rest wants to make them bigger, this has been given high consideration for women’s health. It improves their posture thus helping in straightening the backbone. Breast Reduction gained 17% from the list.
Eyelid surgery is one of the easiest procedures to be done. However it gained 16% of cases that has gone to court making it number three on the most litigated trials concerning cosmetic surgery.
Background checking more on the cosmetic surgery and the cases which has faced trials in court is an advantage for every medical practitioner. They can orient the person about the possible dangers that may be faced during the operations. These can give patients the chance to think of their decision whether to go for the surgery or not. In the end the least we can do is think before we act and live with whatever decision we make. No regrets….
