I live in Chicago and I had surgery in DR. I have a 3rd degree burn on my back and I may need surgery, cook county doctors say. As we all know, some doctors do not care for home remedies, such as aloe vera. Is this something that can heal on its own, with aloe vera and Platsul A? And does anyone know of any lawyers who practice outside of the country?

Answer: Burned after liposuction This is an unfortunate complication for which you now need to seek a board certified plastic surgeon in the US who is experienced in burns. This will not be cured with over the counter gels or topicals. You must be under the care of a Dr. for this as you're at risk for further complication if not treated appropriately. I have seen minor burns from ultrasound or laser liposuction but never to this degree.

Answer: DR Disaster I'm sorry you experienced this. I wish you had chosen a surgeon inside the United States. You don't have any ability to sue as your an American citizen and our laws do not apply in the Dominican Republic. Sometimes the financial savings upfront is not worth the risk you take.You need to work closely with your surgeon at cook county. You may or may not need debridement and skin grafting. It all depends on how your wound progresses.Again, so sorry
