over the past 10 months has documented scores of cases where people have suffered horrific disfigurement, long-term pain and even life-threatening complications after cosmetic procedures.describes the case of a retired elite soldier went in to have a gynecomastia, or removal of man boobs, and liposuction. His right nipple fell off. When he went back for revision surgery, he told the doctor “please don’t kill me.
Moreover, different state and federal regulators often pass the buck for who should take action on complaints and take far too long to respond. Some surgeons use tactics such as threats and payouts to silence patients who make complaints, and have successfully challenged decisions by the regulators in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.which delayed by three weeks the publication of articles documenting complaints.
The threat of these sorts of damages claims could eventually force cosmetic surgeons to lift their game or get out of the business, but new wrongdoers keep popping up as authorities play whack-a-mole. Court action of this nature will take far too long, and in the meantime, more patients will suffer unnecessarily.
