That is, if the doctor recommended something/ or didnt recommend something that other similiarly trained doctors would or would not have recommended. I would be happy to review the medical records with an expert to verify the validity of your case.

Medical malpractice is tough game in California however the doctor if he or she has a shred of decency should fix the breatss for free if you mention getting a lawyer on his case. Remember when you sue the doc you get their insurance company lawyer who needs to get his kids through college on the other end. See if the doc will work with you, if not, sue him.

   Most surgeons doing augmentations cover themselves with detailed informed consents.
   I suggest you find a surgeon out of your geographic area and that you obtain an experienced malpractice lawyer using the AVVO find a lawyer link.
