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

This is something you need to discuss with your surgeon. Every surgeon has his/her opinion and method for taking care of post operative complications, and what is covered in the original fees and what is not.

You can certainly ask your provider for financial compensation. Your provider may or may not give you money.

If they don’t then you can attempt to collect with a malpractice lawsuit.

Jurors are typically not particularly prone to awarding substantial damages in cosmetic surgery cases but sometimes plaintiffs win and sometimes they don’t.

Sometimes parties settle without going to court.

It’s a free country.

Developing full thickness dermal injuries it’s not a normal or typical outcome from liposuction.

The development of keloids from skin scars is patient dependent not provider dependent.
