Plastic Surgery Goes Horribly Wrong

Edith Gaines filed a malpractice lawsuit on September 9th against Allen M. Putterman, M.D. and Allen M. Putterman, M.D. SC. alleging that on February 15th and 17th, in 2012, the defendant performed several procedures that were related to the eye on Gaines. Gaines’ suit claims that the defendant was aware that the procedures would increase the shortness of her eyelids and cause dryness to her eyes. This condition would cause her injuries that were permanent.

The plaintiff, Gaines, accuses Putterman, who specializes in oculofacial plastic surgery, and his employer with medical malpractice. The plaintiff is seeking more than $50,000 in damages, plus court costs and attorneys’ fees.

More often, people are opting for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Plastic surgery is big business, and many more doctors are getting into the field. Some of those doctors are not necessarily board certified plastic surgeons and since procedures are completely elective, the standards of care are not always being followed. Even for plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, complications can sometimes arise.
