Breast surgery negligence occurs when a surgeon, clinic, or medical professional fails to meet the expected standard of care, leading to errors that cause physical injury or emotional trauma.

This can include surgical mistakes, improper implants, infections, or inadequate aftercare.

Common Types of Breast Surgery Negligence:

✔ Incorrect implant placement, leading to pain or asymmetry.
✔ Surgical errors, causing excessive scarring or nerve damage.
✔ Use of defective implants, resulting in ruptures or leakage.
✔ Inadequate pre-surgical assessments, failing to consider medical history.
✔ Poor aftercare, increasing the risk of infection or complications.
✔ Failure to obtain informed consent, leaving patients unaware of risks.

When breast surgery goes wrong due to negligence, the effects can be physically and emotionally distressing, including:

✔ Severe pain and discomfort, requiring corrective surgery.
✔ Permanent scarring or disfigurement, affecting body confidence.
✔ Implant rupture or leakage, causing medical complications.
✔ Infections or delayed wound healing, requiring additional treatment.
✔ Psychological distress, such as anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues.
