Fix Your Plastic Surgery

Dr Keith Berman has been in the news as a result of being sued by a disgruntled patient unhappy with her breast augmentation results. Recently, I received an email from someone claiming to represent him. They threatened to name me in a defamation suit due to my coverage of the case. Here’s the email:

On Behalf of Dr. Keith Berman

NY housewife Maria Alaimo has sued her plastic surgeon Dr Keith S Berman for $5 Million after he performed a breast augmentation surgery that left her with complications. His staff at his office, plus Internet services My Choice Medical Inc. and 1-800-Be-Your-Best (both of whom referred her to Dr Berman) are include in the suit.

Alaimo claims she was left with 4 breasts after breast augmentation surgery by Dr Berman. Her complication is known as ‘double bubble’, which happens when the breast tissue sags and the implant stays in place, which creates the appearance of two separate breast creases.

Dr Berman insists he explained the risks with Maria Alaimo, but she was only concerned with having a glamorous outcome. She counters that he rushed her into signing a 12 page disclaimer on the day of surgery while also only being concerned about his payment.

According to Staten Island Live:

A second surgery performed by Dr. Berman in July 2003 produced worse results, with more scars.

When Ms. Alaimo refused to allow Dr. Berman to try a third corrective surgery, My Medical Choice picked up all the expenses and sent Ms. Alaimo to Milwaukee, where Dr. Roger Mixter operated in January 2004.

But Ms. Alaimo walked away with more scars and implants that slid downward, making her breasts appear even further deformed.

Alaimo’s botched implants probably look something like this below (the patient below had her breast augmentation fixed by Dr Mark Malek in Scottsdale).
