"TUMMY TUCK" (ABDOMINOPLASTY) SURGERY MISTAKES: MARYLAND MED. MAL. ATTORNEY

www.CharlesJeromeWare.com.  "Here to make a difference."
Tummy Tuck Surgery, also known as "Abdominoplasty", is supposed to remove excess fat and skin, and allegedly, in some cases, restore weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
Abdominoplasty is actually real surgery that should be performed according to the medically-recognized standards of cosmetic plastic surgery by a properly-qualified, experienced, and Board-certified abdominoplasty cosmetic plastic surgeon.  "Doc Hollywood" should be avoided for these surgeries.  Find "Dr. Right" to do it.
Abdominoplasty is "medical surgery", not "show business."
As with all surgical procedures, risks and complications can be inherent in abdominoplasty.  These risks during the procedure may be minor as well as life threatening.  High levels of medical care are necessary for success with the Abdominoplasty.  However, in some circumstances the high level of care which is required may fall below the standard of care that is required and expected, thus causing the patient to suffer from additional complications and distress.
There are numerous well-recognized complications in Abdominoplasty surgery, but surgical errors or mistakes may arise during and after the surgery which can constitute potential malpractice or negligence.  Such errors or mistakes include:
  1. The doctor's failure to treat an infection after the surgery;
  2. Delayed healing and accumulation of fluid;
  3. Damage to surrounding organs during the surgery;
  4. Skin or fat necrosis due to a delay in diagnosis and treatment;
  5. Nerve damage from the surgery;
  6. Scarring of the wounds (incisions);
  7. Adverse reaction from anesthesia;
  8. Excessive bleeding due to unintentional damage to blood vessels;
  9. and more, including wrongful death.

  1. Recent studies indicate that there may be health benefits to an Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. This procedure does remove a large amount of subcutaneous fat from the body. However, the decision to get an Abdominoplasty should still be the desire to improve body contour. Tummy Tuck Philippines
