A Kuwaiti woman has sued a famous Kuwaiti cosmetic surgeon, accusing him of committing severe medical error, and demanding compensation worth KD 100,000.

The plaintiff counsel Lawyer Abdulaziz Al-Enezi explained that his client went to the surgeon for a cosmetic surgery on her face. However, after the surgery, she started experiencing severe pain on her face which became swollen and eventually disfigured.

It was later discovered that the surgeon forgot a sewing needle in his client’s left cheek. After several attempts to remove it in the government hospital, the surgeon referred her to the specialized clinic in Al-Babtain Center for Burns and Plastic Surgery.

Only on the fifth day after the surgery was the needle removed. Lawyer Al-Enezi presented at the court a comprehensive medical report as evidence to back the allegations, and demanded compensation worth KD 100,000 to cover the physical, mental and emotional damages that his client underwent due to the defendant’s medical error.
