Answer: I have severe/permanent 3rd degree burns from liposuction in Miami. Most ASPS boarded Plastic Surgeons use the ASPS consents for liposuction. In one of the sections patients sign there is a description of the complication of burns and healing. But you did not state if you had signed the liposuction ASPS consents or even received a copy of them? Unfortunately, especially with power liposuction techniques like Vaser, ultrasonic, laser lipo, SmartLipo, Power Assisted liposuction have this potential complication of would/skin burns. Therefore your question if this outcome is malpractice is an non issue if you had signed the liposuction informed consents.

Answer: Lipo in Miami I understand your frustration. It would be best to have more details and to examine you to help figure out your best coarse of action. There are many different liposuction methods such as internal laser (smart lipo etc), internal ultrasound (Vaser etc), vibrational, and conventional. Each has their own unique set of nuances and risk factors. Although liposuction has been portrayed to the public as an “easy” procedure it really isn’t. I can’t stress how important it is to have cosmetic surgery procedures done by a board certified plastic surgeon. Board certified plastic surgeons have the skill, knowledge and training to avoid such outcomes and also have the ability to deal with them in the very rare instance that they do occur . I wish you well in your recovery.
