You can see it on television as well as in the general public. Cosmetic surgery is a popular growth industry as well as a public obsession.
Demand for the top cosmetic surgery procedures grew by more than 26% between 1999 and 2000, and by substantially more than that between 2000 and the present.
The public perception of cosmetic surgery appears to be that it is quick and easy. It is not. The fact is that most cosmetic surgery operations or "procedures" are extremely complex and require a high degree of anatomical, physiological and technical skill, precisioned surgical skill as well as keen aesthetic appreciation.
Let's be perfectly clear. Cosmetic plastic surgery involves medicine and skill at very high levels, not "Doc Hollywood" business persons. Recipients of cosmetic plastic surgery are "patients", not just customers or clients in a business transaction.
The continuous training and credentialing of cosmetic plastic surgeons is as important as training and credentialing in other fields of medical endeavors and surgery.
While no surgery, including cosmetic plastic surgery is without the risk of complications, choosing the right surgeon is crucial in the process.
Mistakes or errors by the surgeon and his support team can happen; however, when they do happen the patient should contact a medical malpractice attorney immediately.

BAD BREAST AUGMENTATION ("AUGMENTATION MAMMAPLASTY") MISTAKES: MARYLAND MED. MAL. ATTORNEY
www.CharlesJeromeWare.com. "Here to make a difference."
Breast Augmentation, also known as "augmentation mammaplasty", is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase the size of breasts or to restore breast volume that has been lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast implants may also be used for breast reconstruction.
It is important to remember that breast augmentation is in fact serious surgery, and recipients of breast augmentation are indeed medical "patients." In the current U.S. culture of body aesthetics where cosmetic plastic surgery is booming and rapidly increasing even more in popularity, one should be reminded that there are surgical risks and possible complications with the surgery. And, mistakes can and do happen sometimes.
As with any other type of surgery, the competence and experience of the treating breast augmentation cosmetic plastic surgeon (and his or her team) is absolutely crucial for increased chances of surgery success.
The occurrence of breast implant mistakes and medical malpractice claims arising from breast implant surgery has risen dramatically in recent years. Elective cosmetic plastic surgery is more common than ever, and breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty") is one of the most popular medical procedures performed today.
Some common breast augmentation mistakes and complications include:

Some common breast augmentation mistakes and complications include:
- Choosing "Doc Hollywood" or a "cosmetic spa" instead of a properly-licensed, properly-certified, competent and experienced breast augmentation cosmetic plastic surgeon. Ask questions.
- Not being properly prepared physically and emotionally for the surgery. Ask questions of the potential surgeon about the surgery and the preparation needed for it.
- Infection from this type of surgery is always a risk.
- The wrong breast implant size.
- The wrong implant shape.
- The wrong type of implant.
- The wrong breast implant texture.
- Again (see 1 and 2, above): The wrong cosmetic plastic surgeon.
"BOTCHED" COSMETIC PLASTIC SURGERY?: MARYLAND MED. MAL. ATTORNEY CHARLES WARE
www.CharlesJeromeWare.com. "Here to make a difference."
The first thing that anyone seeking cosmetic plastic surgery should realize is the fact that these procedures are in fact medical "surgery", which should be performed only by highly qualified and certified surgeons. Cosmetic plastic surgery recipients are "patients", not just business clients or customers. Caveat emptor!
Cosmetic plastic surgery can, and does from time to time, go wrong. Mistakes can, and do from time to time, happen.
Even in the best of hands, any cosmetic plastic surgery has a small chance of a bad outcome. But add an untrained or minimally trained surgeon to the mix and those odds leap to Las Vegas house odds against you.
In an effort to reduce the chances of a "botched" cosmetic surgery procedure, I recommend the followings tips to both my many celebrity and non-celebrity clients in an abundance of caution:

AVOIDING "DOC HOLLYWOOD" BAD COSMETIC & PLASTIC SURGERY: MARYLAND & D.C. MED. MAL. ATTORNEY CHARLES WARE
www.CharlesJeromeWare.com. "Here to make a difference."
Although women in general account for the vast majority of all cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in the United States [91% in 2012, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or ASPS], the gender breakdown in this medical field is becoming increasingly less lopsided. Men are increasingly joining in --- revealing that the desire to look good is becoming increasingly universal.
"Hollywood" (the entertainment industry), of course, is ground zero for both good and bad cosmetic plastic surgery. The good is good; but the bad is really bad. It should be remembered by those seeking it that cosmetic plastic surgery is in fact serious medical surgery that, as in all surgeries, is subject to risks, complications and mistakes.
There are several admonitions and suggestions I make to my clients regarding cautions in cosmetic plastic surgery, but just a few of them follow:
