When Summer Glow-Ups Go Wrong: What to Know About Medical Malpractice and Plastic Surgery

Medical Malpractice and Plastic Surgery

Summer is here – and with it, the pressure to look and feel your best. Maybe you booked that long-awaited nose job, liposuction, or a little “tweakment” before beach season. Totally your call. But if something went wrong during your plastic surgery, you might be wondering… is it just bad luck—or is it medical malpractice?


At Slusser Law, we don’t care why you wanted surgery. You deserve to be treated with care, skill, and respect – no matter what. And if a surgeon fails to meet those standards, you may have a case.

Here’s what to know if your summer glow-up turned into a nightmare.


Plastic Surgery Comes With Risks – But There’s a Line

No procedure is risk-free. But surgeons have a duty to follow established standards of care. If they don’t—whether it’s botching your procedure, failing to inform you of risks, or ignoring warning signs during recovery—that can cross into medical malpractice territory.


It’s Not Just About Looks. It’s About Harm.

A bad result doesn’t automatically mean malpractice. But if you suffered serious physical or emotional harm due to negligence – like infections, permanent disfigurement, or complications that could’ve been avoided – you deserve answers.


You’re Not Being “Vain.” You’re Being Heard.

We know how hard it is to speak up when a cosmetic procedure goes wrong. People might say “you signed up for it” or “you’re overreacting.” We say: that’s nonsense. If a professional let you down, we’ll help you hold them accountable.

We see a few common patterns in summer crashes: Fatigue from long hours behind the wheel Speeding or aggressive driving Distracted drivers more focused on the GPS than the road Construction zones and sudden lane shifts Out-of-state drivers unfamiliar with Pennsylvania roads Who’s at fault?
