Common Questions & Answers about Breast Reduction Surgery
"I had a breast reduction done in July of 2000, and my scaring is unbelieveable!!When I went in to see the surgeon before my surgery date was set, he explained what would be happening and he also sent me to consult with a nurse. She also told me of the procedures and then the day of my surgery nothing happened the way it was supposed to. I ended up getting an infection and ended up in the hospital in my home town for a week. The scares are very ugly and I am very disappointed in the way that they look. My husband describes it as a "hack job." Is there anything i can do about this legally?"
