Pop And CBB Star To Sue Surgeon
UK Celebrity Big Brother star and singer with 1980’s pop band Dead or Alive, Pete Burns, is suing the surgeon that performed lip augmentation on him, stating that he was negligent, failed to warn Burns about the possible side effects of the procedures being carried out, and accusing him of administering excessive follow-up injections.He started receiving treatment in November 2000 at the London Centre for Aesthetic Surgery from Dr. Maurizio Viel. He has now hired legal assistance in order to sue the surgeon following complications that led to what he described as terrible side effects described by his attorney’s office as including “painful swelling, blisters, heavy discharge, unpredictable swelling to the face, inability to eat, drink or speak and granulomas resulting in pus oozing and spurting from various parts of his lips.”
His solicitor stated: "Pete has endured considerable pain and suffering following injection of OUTLINE Original. This product should never have been administered to him for a number of reasons; including possible adverse reactions with other products he had previously been given.”
She added, “As a result of the damage caused by the treatment, Pete has been unable to fully pursue his career in music and in the media. He has also had to undergo over 17 months of extensive corrective and reconstructive surgery following the treatment. Today we have issued Court proceedings against Dr. Viel".
