• Medical negligence with cosmetic surgeon

A year back i got my hair transplant done in Jaipur by medispa, i got influenced by their videos and results uploaded on youtube but the real reality was something in real. The doctor did not perform any surgery and rather asked his technician to conduct sutures (trichopytic surgery which is specially performed only by plastic surgeons) I asked for hair transplant surgery for my crown area but rather doctor without my consent performed transplantation on my top frontal area. As far as i remember the doctor did not ask me to sign any consent form. I do have the invoice for surgery performed. I was also unhappy during the procedure ( I came alone for surgery). i did write many emails to the doctor but got no reply in return. I need legal advice and help. i would also need a lawyer to visit the doctor. Surgery was performed on 13th September 2017. it takes 12 months for the complete result but I did not get any satisfied result plus the doctor technicians left me with ugly scars which are visible.

Did they assured in writing and now it did not happen? any correspondence of assurance the service demanded by you, which he has agreed. without above, we cant take any legal action against him.

If you are feeling that you have been cheated by the spa and have not done the actual service as promised instead have done a different transplantation which has aggrieved you and caused you fiscal as well as physical loss, you may first gather the concrete evidences to prove your grievances and also the cheating activity of the doctor and his clinic inthis regard.

Issue a legal notice demanding compensation for the losses you suffered including the mental stress and agony you suffered, after which you can drag him to the consumer forum for relief and remedy.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been cheated somewhere by them assuring you for the services which never given to you at all.
  2. There has been a protection for any legal action against the doctors, but that is when if they performed their work with sincerity.
  3. Letting everything on junior/ or other staff is simply a gross misconduct on his part.
  4. I advice you to first, please send him a legal notice for refund of payment as well as compensation, and also state to file criminal cases also for professional misconduct on their part.
  5. Wait for their reply, and then you may have to file two separate cases one is the criminal and another one for the refund and compensation.

If you like my answer, then contact me through Kaanoon for any further legal assistance.
