Plastic surgery medmal cases concentrate around BBL fat embolism (intramuscular injection), textured breast implant BIA-ALCL consent gaps, office-based anesthesia complications, and smoker flap necrosis. ASPS 2019 BBL Position Statement + FDA BIA-ALCL Guidance + ASA office-anesthesia standards define the floors.
Try the 2-min Plastic demo → All specialtiesPlastic surgery cases turn on documented adherence to specific safety protocols (subcutaneous-only fat in BBL, specific BIA-ALCL discussion in textured implant consent, capnography + ACLS in office sedation). Each is in the chart or it isn't.
Documented or suspected intramuscular gluteal fat injection; fat embolism death.
Deep sedation in office without ACLS + capnography + post-anesthesia monitoring.
Textured implant consent doesn't name BIA-ALCL by name per FDA + ASPS.
Active smoker operated for cosmetic procedure with flap risk; no documented cessation period.
Post-op cellulitis/abscess; antibiotics delayed or inadequate.
Consent doesn't document realistic outcomes/scarring/revision discussion.
Uncontrolled diabetic (A1C>8) operated electively without pre-op optimization.
Lock the BBL witness into "I tried to stay subcutaneous" hedge, then juxtapose against ASPS 2019 categorical recommendation against intramuscular gluteal fat injection.
Why this lands: witness has framed a documented avoidance technique as effort rather than the categorical standard.
Plastic surgery cases turn on documented adherence to specific safety protocols (BBL technique, BIA-ALCL consent, office sedation monitoring). ASPS + FDA + ASA are real published floors.
