Significant six-figure award

A young woman from western Pennsylvania suffered terrible scarring of her breasts as a result of an unnecessary breast reduction surgery. The woman had been diagnosed with fibrocystic disease, a benign condition of the breast, and her doctor thought it was necessary to perform breast reduction surgery. Relying on expert witnesses in the field, the attorneys at Gismondi & Associates filed a medical malpractice claim against the surgeon on the ground that the breast reduction never should have been done. We obtained a significant six-figure award on her behalf.
