Just because plastic surgery is an elective or voluntary surgery and not medically necessary does not mean you have no rights as a patient. You have the same rights as other patients to receive the appropriate standard of medical care from your doctor or surgeon. If a practitioner fell short of the standards of care and this resulted in failed plastic surgery, you have the right to file a medical malpractice claim in Boston to pursue compensation.
You may be able to file a medical malpractice claim in Boston for many adverse health outcomes after a botched plastic surgery, including scarring, disfigurement, allergic reactions, excessive bleeding, infections, tissue or nerve damage, skin discoloration, and paralysis. A successful Boston medical malpractice claim could result in financial compensation for your pain and suffering, emotional trauma, lost quality or enjoyment of life, medical expenses, and more.
