If I am not happy with the results of my surgery do I have a valid medical malpractice case? - ALS, GA

Answer:

Unfortunately there are no guarantees when it comes to attaining the results you want. If you have encountered unexpected or unsuccessful results, you may not necessarily be able hold the doctor liable unless you are able to prove that some type of negligence occurred. Medical Malpractice cases are only valid when the medical professional in question failed to provide the expected standard level of care that is offered by similar professionals in the field. Cosmetic surgery cases are especially difficult when it comes to proving doctor misconduct especially if the patients wishes to contest the aesthetic results.
