Raquel Wells’s Botched Surgeries: A Nightmare for Patients
Dr. Raquel Wells, a renowned plastic surgeon, has come under fire in recent years for her botched surgeries. Patients have accused her of everything from disfigurement to permanent nerve damage.
One of Wells’ most high-profile cases is that of Alicia Riche. In 2014, Riche underwent a breast augmentation surgery performed by Wells. The surgery left Riche with severe scarring and nerve damage. She has since undergone multiple corrective surgeries, but the damage is permanent.
Wells has also been accused of botching a number of other surgeries, including tummy tucks, liposuction, and facelifts. In 2016, a patient named Sarah Jones filed a lawsuit against Wells after she was left with a botched breast augmentation. Jones’s lawsuit alleges that Wells was negligent in performing the surgery and that she failed to adequately inform Jones of the risks involved.
Misleading Claims about Medical Conditions
Many of Raquel Wells patients have complained that she misled them about their medical conditions. In some cases, Wells has told patients that they need surgery when they do not. In other cases, she has downplayed the risks of surgery or failed to disclose them altogether.
One patient, who wishes to remain anonymous, told us that Wells told her that she needed a breast augmentation to correct a "droopy" appearance. However, the patient later learned that her breasts were not actually droopy and that she did not need surgery.
Another patient, who also wishes to remain anonymous, said that Wells told her that she needed a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and fat. However, the patient later learned that she did not have excess skin or fat and that she did not need surgery.
Inaccurate Advice about Surgical Options
Some of Raquel Wells patients have also complained that she gave them inaccurate advice about surgical options. In some cases, Wells has recommended surgery that is not appropriate for the patients needs. In other cases, she has failed to provide patients with all of the information they need to make an informed decision about surgery.
One patient, who wishes to remain anonymous, told us that Wells recommended a facelift to correct wrinkles and sagging skin. However, the patient later learned that she was not a good candidate for a facelift and that the surgery would not have improved her appearance.
Another patient, who also wishes to remain anonymous, said that Wells recommended breast implants to increase the size of her breasts. However, the patient later learned that she did not need breast implants and that the surgery would have been unnecessary.
