The enormously popular television show, Botched, that launched on E! in 2014 entertains audiences with one very simple truth: surgeries can go very, very wrong. The physicians on the Botched, Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif, offer help to people that have been victimized by poor plastic surgeries. The help, oftentimes, requires another surgery or procedure in order to correct the “botched” surgery. With the assistance of Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif, many victims are able to recover from their surgeries gone wrong- but not everyone gets this Hollywood happy ending.
Botched Cosmetic Surgeries
With plastic surgery, most people just think of breast augmentation, facelifts, tummy tucks, etc. However plastic surgery is an important field with a much more serious side than just improving someone’s nose shape. It is for reducing and eliminating scars from traumatic injuries due to fire and automobile accidents. The botching of this type of surgery can be far more harmful to the patients hoping to reduce the scars both physically and emotionally from those traumatic events. Botched surgery in other fields of medicine are even more harmful as they can cause permanent injury and even death.
Any Time and Incision is Made There is a Risk
An incision during any number of surgeries can lead to an infection if not handled properly. A slip with a scalpel may cause a leak in the large or small intestine during a procedure on an organ nearby and lead to an infection that becomes life-threatening. These are very problematic because since the original surgery site is performing well the damage may go undetected in these other nearby areas until major complications arise.
Any surgery carries certain risks. That is why anyone must question their surgeon and always receive a second opinion. Too many of us are reliant on one professional’s opinion due to their specialized training but being cautious keeping you safe and giving you peace of mind.
When surgery is seriously botched and it leads to further injuries, a New York City attorney with experience in botched surgery cases must be consulted to make sure everything is being done to correct the problem and get compensation for the result of the poorly done surgery.
