Genoa, Italy – โA cosmetic surgeon โin Genoa โis under investigation for alleged negligentโ injury following a 2022 operation that left a 68-year-old woman โwith chronic pain, bleeding, and pus leakage for years afterward. The prosecutor’s office launched the inquiry โคafter the woman filed a complaint โdetailing complications from a double breast reduction and abdominoplasty.
The woman underwent theโฃ surgery at a clinic in the Foce area,reportedly โafter a friend’s recommendation. She alleges the doctor assured herโฃ of a โsuccessful โขoutcome and requested โฌ10,000 โin cash for the procedure.โ Post-operatively, theโ patient claims she was not provided โฃwith drainage, a standard medical practice following โฃinvasive surgery.
Despite โexperiencing severeโ pain, the woman states the doctor dismissed her concerns โขasโ normal post-operative โdiscomfort. However, herโข condition worsened, leading to persistent bleeding and evident scarring. โA subsequent medical examination revealed the surgeon had a history of similar cases and that the โฃoperation had put her life at risk.
The woman’s lawyer contacted the surgeon โขrequestingโข details of his professional liabilityโค insurance to cover damages, but received no response. The complaint to the prosecutor’s office seeks โnot only redress for the โขwoman’s injuries but alsoโ a review of the clinic’s medical and insurance authorizations. Reportsโ indicate โขthe doctor has previously faced scrutiny and โคa suspension order from the Medical Association related to similarโ allegations.
