Severe liposuction burn turned keloid scar - am I subject to any financial compensation? (photos)

December 1, 2021
Asked By:ivyraeevans in Denver, Colorado

Last year I received lipo 360. Shortly after certain areas of my skin started blistering. Later on I find out that I had been burned during liposuction not once or twice but four times! The skin has now healed but all wounds turned into keloids. I am just as self conscious as I was prior to the surgery and in addition I now have to pay for steroid injections. Am I subject to any financial compensation, I looked over the paperwork I had signed and it said nothing about lipo burns.
