Dangers of Breast Implants

When deciding to have plastic surgery, patients should remember that all surgery has risks associated with it. Though this surgery is often for cosmetic purposes, the complications can be very serious or even life-threatening. However, some complications are preventable and, when a cosmetic surgeon does not care for you in the best manner possible, you may be able to pursue your case in a court of law.

Doctors and nurses have a responsibility to their patients to operate with a reasonable standard of care. When this does not happen, patients have the right to sue for medical malpractice, with the chance of gaining financial compensation to help the victims pay for resulting damages. If you believe that you have experienced this kind of negligence, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today at 800-346-5529.

Potential Risks

Common risks/dangers associated with breast implants include the following:

  • Deflation/rupture
  • Capsular contracture
  • Hermatoma/seroma
  • Change in nipple or breast sensation
  • Pain
  • Infection
  • Atrophy of breast tissue or deformity of chest wall
  • Additional surgery
  • Dissatisfaction of results

Though some of these complications are normal, some may be caused to the reckless behavior of a surgeon or nurse. If that is the case, you have the right to present your case in a court of law. In order to increase your chances of a desirable result, it is best to employ the help of an experienced attorney.
