Victory for Plastic Surgeons Nationwide in Federal Court Ruling
The dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a group of “cosmetic surgeons” against the Utah Plastic Surgery Society (UPSS), American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and 19 specific plastic surgeons, alleging that their patient-safety advertisements were tantamount to attempting to form a monopoly, has been upheld by the 10th District U.S. Court of Appeals. Plastic surgeons in Boca Raton and around the country can breathe a little easier knowing that they will not be punished for their efforts to educate the public about safety in surgeries.
