A cosmetic surgeon in Moses Lake, Washington is facing a medical malpractice suit for unprofessional conduct after performing breast-reduction surgery and liposuction on a 15 year-old girl. The surgeon is accused of making serious mistakes during the breast surgery and his decision to perform liposuction on a person of that age is also being questioned.

While several physicians have come to the aid of the surgeon, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported in 2005 that the cosmetic surgeon had been sued 10 times in the past and was forced to pay fines in 2001 and 2003 for errors made as a dental practitioner.

During a surgical malpractice trial, juries make their decisions based on the evidence and testimony presented in the trial. The evidence will often include documents that contain details about the procedure.

The testimony will likely include the opinions of other doctors who were either present for the surgery or who can attest to the surgeons medical record. A lawyer arguing for the plaintiff will likely attempt to demonstrate how the evidence and testimony shows that the surgeon was negligent, while lawyers for the defense will probably show that the surgeon followed procedure.
