I consented and paid for a full anchor breastlift with implant, I had two consultations with Dr who stated I needed full lift. When I woke up from surgery he only did a donut lift. I ended up dropping instantly and nipples puckered with bad scaring. 6 mo later Dr revised with a vertical incision and a change of implants to textured (I had to pay again). A year later I am still saggy and now I have developed capsular contracture my boos go to side & hard. Still no full lift .
Answer: Negligence is serious stuff to be accused of and if you can prove that your discussions talked about a 'full lift', then you have grounds to have your surgeon fix the problem for not delivering what was 'promised' so you need to review your consultation and notes documented prior to your procedure. Hope it's legible and not handwritten. Your surgeon, if ethical, knows when he/she may have made a mistake and should do everything in their power to 'fix' it. If there is no documentation of what you remember, then this is just a bad outcome. As for the events that happened after, that may require a second opinion with your complete records available for review including your pre op photos.No surgeon wants their patient to be unhappy and if your results are as poor as you describe, I would think your surgeon would do everything possible to help you get closer to the outcome you desire since your results are a reflection of what that surgeon does and with social media, its simply too easy to tell everyone.

Answer: Doctor Negligent in general, poor shape and contour are not grounds for malpractice. remember if you sue and lose you will have to pay for ALL of the court fees including the doctor's costs. You need to review all of the records in detail to see if "standard of care" was not met.
