Plastic Surgery: The Botched Operations That SHOULD Have Been Brought to Court
Medical malpractice suits are quickly becoming a burden on the American health care industry. Common numbers note that some 150,000 hospital deaths are preventable each year and 73 percent of people who are injured and sue for malpractice receive some form of compensation. But what about those who don’t sue and should? The following is a top five list of people who should have sued for medical malpractice (because some were grotesquely injured, some only slightly) but didn’t.
- Tara Reid: Tara’s breast implants and liposuction caused a stir when first revealed as most onlookers noted the surgery actually made her breasts and stomach look worse after than before. Tara, lamenting the poorly done work said of the surgery, “I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.”
- Gary Busey: The problem with Gary Busey’s veneers isn’t that they are poorly done (though they are chunkier and more box-like than they should be). Rather, the veneers seem to have taken a yellow-brown tinge. Because porcelain is translucent, the color of the veneers depends on the concrete used in making them. For his veneers to abruptly change color almost overnight some doctors think there may or may not be something wrong with his new teeth.
- Versace: A mish-mash of odd jobs performed on Ms. Versace. The work done on her was so extensive that she is barely recognizable from her former self.
- Pete Burns: Pete Burns is currently suing the doctor who performed his plastic surgery. The Dead or Alive frontman had his lips explode after the doctor over-injected his lips with collagen which caused granulomas (tumors).
- Jocelyn Weldestein: Ms. Wildestein’s bizarre and excessive plastic surgery requests (she asked to be transformed into a cat to impress her husband) don’t necessarily entitle her to a medical malpractice judgement. However the multiple reconstructive surgeries she has had entitle her to some sort of compensation from the doctor who performed, and charged her for, the initial surgeries
