Can I sue my surgeon for messing up my breast augmentation 2 times in a row?

October 23, 2016
Asked By:p.k.a96 in Madison, WI

My first BA I supposedly developed CC, but I was skeptical because it was not how I understood CC to be. When he corrected it, he opened the pocket too far and now that implant is sitting an inch lower and looks very asymmetrical, and I have to have ANOTHER surgery to correct it. I will now have 4 scars instead of 2, one of which will show under my breast because it will no longer be in the crease. He very obviously messed up the second surgery, and possibly the first. Do I have a possible case?
