Did Your Surgeon Botch Your Breast Augmentation And Your Wounds Opened? Get A Lawyer Now

When you leave the hospital after having a surgery like breast augmentation and you have been stitched up, you expect that the surgeon did a proper job. If your surgeon didn't stitch your insertion areas properly, or around your nipples, and you ended up with open wounds and bleeding after surgery, you want to contact a lawyer.

A medical malpractice lawyer needs to be contacted as soon as possible after you get the wounds closed and cared for properly. Here is the information that you want to have for the malpractice attorney.

Proof of Error                    

You want to have proof of the error that the physician made, including pictures and evidence that you were left bleeding or with open wounds that never fully healed. This can be the following:

• Images of the open wounds and poor stitching
• Reports from the emergency room or doctor's visit once the wounds were discovered
• Images after everything had to be stitched again or closed

If you couldn't wait until your follow up appointment to go to the plastic surgeon's office or if you had to go back in because your wounds came open, this is the proof that you need.

Cost of Surgery and Emergency Care

Provide the cost of the surgery and the care that was needed to deal with the open wounds. The costs you want to provide for your lawyer include:

• All consultations
• Surgery costs
• Hospital expenses
• Emergency care bills
• Future costs to repair scarring or other damages

You should be able to get an estimate of what it may cost to help repair the problem completely and to make it as cosmetically appealing as possible.

Additional Related Problems

The lawyer also needs details about the struggles that you have because the recovery didn't go as expected. This could include mental trauma and anguish, more time away from work, additional time when you can't play with your kids, and more. There can be a domino effect of problems once you are in a medical emergency.

If you were the victim of negligence and now you are suffering and dealing with medical bills and other problems because of your breast augmentation, you need to get help right away. Don't let any more time go by so your medical negligence attorney can start compiling all of the information that they need, and so they can start working to get you back the compensation that you need.
