Spa Owner Sue Backalley Plastic Surgery Practice

Tracy Hurst of Las Vegas has filed a lawsuit against a former employee and her husband for running an unauthorized plastic surgery practice from Hurst’s spa after hours. The practice was being run out of The Medical Spa at Summerlin.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the former employee and her retired plastic surgeon husband were treating thousands of patients after the spa was closed. The practice operated without Hurst’s knowledge for nearly two years.

The procedures included Botox injections, laser skin treatments, and photo facials. In addition, another dozen plastic surgeons performed breast augmentations and other surgeries.

The lawsuit further alleged that some of the doctors were negligent in their practice, resulting in injures and infections for patients. This negligence could have subjected Hurst to negligence. According to the complaint, the business was generating revenues of around $30,000 per day.

Lawsuit Over Botched Plastic Surgery Placed On Hold

The family of a woman who died after a botched plastic surgery will have to wait to have their day in court. The lawsuit, against New York plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Sachs, has been placed on hold by the New York Supreme Court (the trial court in New York) to ensure that all materials have been exchanged between the two sides.

The lawsuit alleges that following surgery, the woman collapsed and died when her life support machine was turned off.

Dr. Sachs is no stranger to malpractice lawsuits, he has made more than thirty-three malpractice payments since 1994, more than any other doctor in New York. Moreover, Dr. Sachs is now prohibited from performing any complex nasal surgeries without another doctor present.

The case is now scheduled to be heard later this summer.
