A:
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's important to address this issue directly with the doctor. You should start by requesting a detailed explanation of what happened and why the lift wasn't performed as agreed. Clear communication is key in understanding the situation fully.
Next, discuss possible solutions with the doctor. Given the mistake, they should offer corrective surgery at no additional cost. Ensure that all additional procedures and potential complications are covered in this agreement.
If the doctor is unresponsive or you are not satisfied with the proposed solutions, you may consider seeking legal advice. A legal professional can guide you on your rights and possible compensation for the additional surgery and any inconvenience caused. Remember, it's important to act promptly to ensure the best possible outcome for your wife.
