Woman alleges she developed multiple post-operative infections requiring several courses of antibiotics

The High Court heard that the surgery, a bilateral breast implant removal combined with bilateral breast mastopexy, was carried out by the cosmetic surgeon on November 7th, 2015, at a Waterford theatre. Photograph: Aidan CrawleyA woman who is suing over her breast implant removal operation has told the High Court that there was a three-day delay in getting antibiotics that led to multiple infections and a slower recovery.

Ms Milmoe, from Dundrum, Dublin, has sued cosmetic surgeon Labros Chatzis with an address at Baggot Street Lower, Dublin, who carried out the surgery, and Sheldon Investments Limited, trading as River Medical Group, with registered offices at Pleasants Street, Dublin and which operated the River Medical Group at Lower Baggot Street, Dublin, over her care after the surgery.

Ms Milmoe has claimed there was an alleged failure to treat her appropriately or with appropriate skill and there was an alleged failure to take any or any appropriate steps with regard to probable infection or to prescribe any or any proper antibiotics to prevent infection in time or at all. In her evidence Ms Milmoe said she had paid €7,000 for the surgery and did not deal with anyone but River Medical.

She said afterwards she also had shooting pains in her breast and had a loss of sensation in one breast.
