Can I sue for medical practice after lipo?

Question

After micro body contouring I am left with a dent in my right butt cheek and a flatter butt cheek with almost no crease underneath it. The thing is I never asked them to touch my butt, in fact I warned not too before. I was in contact with their corporate but they decided not to help to fix anything, do you think I have a case of medical malpractice?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Occasionally patients are dissatisfied with results of liposuction. This is not malpractice. However your surgeon should do everything available to improve the outcome.

Robert M. Kachenmeister, MD · Answer

Sorry that your results are not what you expected. I cannot give you an accurate opinion without reviewing your case, but it is usually difficult to pursue legal remedies for liposuction. A better solution is to honestly consult with your surgeon and get those areas fixed that you are unhappy with. With a lawsuit,  nobody (except the lawyers) usually come out ahead.Best wishes,Dr K
