Plastic Surgery Malpractice Attorney Miami Area Attorney Chris Shakib Specializes in Lawsuits Related to Plastic Surgery Negligence
Most medical experts agree that plastic surgery is defined as a surgical procedure involving the reconstruction, alteration or restoration of various and sundry parts of the human body. These surgical specialties are divided into two distinct categories, reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive plastic surgeries include craniofacial abnormalities (face and skull), hand surgery, microsurgery, treating burn victims and issues involved in surgical procedures where these types of applications are warranted. These surgeries are typically performed by doctors to remediate a specific problem, be it disfigurement, a birth defect, or surgical reconstruction of a disfigurement often the result of an injury sustained in an accident.
Cosmetic surgery for most cases is defined as elective in nature, performed to restore or enhance one’s appearance which can boost self-confidence in a variety of ways. These types of cosmetic surgical procedures may involve breast augmentations (reconstruction, enlargement or reductions), tummy tucks, elimination of scaring, liposuction to remove fat deposits, Brazilian butt lifts to shape and contour the buttocks and facial procedures (facelifts) performed on foreheads, cheeks, eyelids and necks. These facial procedures are designed to improve the overall appearance of sagging tissue, the result of numerous factors including aging, overexposure to sunlight and the normal loss of the skin’s elasticity and bone volume as we grow older.

Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer Specializing In Plastic Surgery Injuries
Chris began his career fighting for victims’ rights as a state prosecutor of violent criminals. From 1992 to 1996, he prosecuted bad guys and witnessed the life-long harm criminals inflicted on their victims, because they made a conscious decision to do wrong, often for financial gain.
Since then, he’s transferred that passion for holding bad guys accountable and helping victims to the civil justice system.
As a partner at Terrell • Hogan, Chris advocates for those injured or killed by medical malpractice – including women injured in an alleged breast implant warranty scheme – defective drugs, defective medical devices, pharmacy negligence and consumer products. He is driven to stop companies and practitioners from putting profits over people, especially when they knowingly provide a product or service that hurts consumers or falls below industry standards. He also represents victims of defective consumer products, commercial truck accidents and motor vehicle crashes.
Chris is married to Jaime Lee Shakib and is the proud father of three children: Ashley, Evan, and Stella-Jaymes. An avid surfer, runner, and amateur boxer, he considers the mountains of Western North Carolina his second home.

PLASTIC & COSMETIC SURGERY Malpractice Overview
If you have been injured by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon, contacting an experienced cosmetic surgery attorney, as soon as you suspect a problem with the care you received, is the most effective way to ensure success in any medical malpractice claim. Medical malpractice lawsuits are many times difficult to pursue due to their complexity and the sooner the right attorney is involved, the better chances you have of recovering the compensation you deserve to cover current and future medical expenses, lost wages and the pain and suffering you have experienced.

Depending upon the severity of the injuries you have sustained, you could be entitled to compensation including past, present, and future medical care, lost wages, and the emotional pain and suffering that often times accompanies any cosmetic surgery mistake.
