Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

Face Lift

exactly one month after major plastic surgery, I noticed a dimpling in the left side of my face, on my cheekbone. I monitored it that night because I was concerned that the muscles on that side of my face had 'fallen'. I was still swollen but I went to see my doctor as soon as I could get an appointment. He did not see anything wrong with my face. I, however notice that the right side of my face is much smoother and tighter than the left. I have seen the doctor that performed my surgery two more times since the surgery, once approximately eight months after the initial surgery. But, this doctor fails to see the difference in my face, from one side to the other. I am going to see another surgeon to re-lift the left side of my face. Though you must allow for assymetry, ther is a marked difference in the left side of my face. I also intend to sue. I gave this surgeon 3 opportunitie to rectify this matter, I would even have paid. He refuses to acknowledge this mishap.
