Understanding the Grounds for a Claim

So, what exactly constitutes a breast surgery claim? It boils down to medical negligence. This occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a surgeon or clinic, fails to meet the expected standard of care during the surgery or post-operative period and there are some examples of potential problems that could arise due to medical negligence, leading to harm.

Here are some potential grounds for a breast surgery claim:

1- Surgical errors: 

This encompasses technical mistakes made during the procedure, such as incorrect implant placement, nerve damage, or excessive blood loss.

2- Informed consent: 

Did the surgeon adequately explain the risks and complications associated with the surgery? If not, you may have a claim if these risks materialized and caused harm.

3- Faulty implants: 

Defective or malfunctioning implants can lead to various complications, including rupture, leakage, and capsular contracture.

4- Substandard post-operative care: 

Inadequate follow-up or improper wound care can lead to infections, delayed healing, and other complications.
