Sue Plastic Surgeon For Medical Malpractice In Ohio
Our Ohio plastic surgeon malpractice lawyers at Charles Boyk Law Offices, LLC handle lawsuits against plastic surgeons. Plastic surgery is defined as surgery concerned with the repair, restoration, or improvement of lost, injured, defective, and/or misshapen body parts. There are two types of plastic surgery: cosmetic plastic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery is used to improve the patient’s features on a purely aesthetic level or as a cosmetic enhancement of the body.
Reconstructive surgery is to correct any physical feature which is grossly deformed or abnormal by accepted standards – either as the result of birth defect, congenital disorder, illness, or trauma, as well as to correct the function of the body part in question.
A plastic surgeon will use cosmetic surgical principles to improve overall appearance as well as to optimize the outcome of reconstructive procedures. Special knowledge and skill in the design and surgery of grafts, flaps, free tissue transfer and replantation is necessary. Plastic surgery can be a complex medical procedure and can carry a substantial risk of complications if the surgeon is not properly trained or fails to follow the appropriate standards of medical care. Medical mistakes during plastic surgery can result in disfigurement, permanent physical injury or even death. When medical mistakes are performed by a plastic surgeon, the injured patient may have a plastic surgery malpractice lawsuit.
