The requested by the "Norddeutsche Schlichtungsstelle ["North German Mediation Centre"] reveal the complications and problems of breast augmentation. The North German Mediation Centre is responsible for ten federal states in Germany (Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia) and is thus the largest mediation centre in Germany We analysed requests from patients, expert reports ordered by the North German Mediation Centre and the final verdicts of mediations after breast augmentations between 2000 and 2007. This approach has the advantage that it addresses the topic from different viewpoints. Furthermore we analysed the statistical data provided by the mediation centre. In 44 % of the patient´s requests, a causal relationship was confirmed between the damage caused to the patient's health and malpractice. This is much greater than the overall figure for the mediation centre, which is that a causal relationship was confirmed in only 24 % of cases. The 66 patient requests after breast augmentations included 29 cases with liability. In 86 % of the cases, the expert opinions concluded that mistakes were made during planning (72 %). Most frequently, surgical incisions were incorrect (45 %), followed by the preparation of the pocket (28 %), the surgical approach (31 %) and the implant size (17 %). The patients mainly complained about asymmetry (79 %) and the position of the implants (62 %) or the size of the breasts after surgery (38 %). The greater frequency of a causal relationship between the damage caused to patient health and malpractice - in comparison to the general statistics - may be due to the greater complexity of breast augmentation than generally expected. Not only the surgery itself, but - to an even greater extent - adequate planning and aftercare are of predominant importance in satisfying the patient. All these factors and the high expectations of the patients lead to a higher request rate.

The higher rate of liability claims may be due to the fact the surgical procedures changing the shape of breasts are more complex than generally expected. Not only the surgery itself, but also the adequate planning and aftercare are of predominant importance for patient satisfaction. All these factors lead to the relatively high rate of medical malpractice in plastic aesthetic breast surgery. Also the communication factor should not be underestimated.

“…Board (11,12); the authors individually evaluated each case, taking into consideration the facts of the case, the findings of the expert reviewers, and the decision of the arbitration board. All cases submitted for arbitration arose from experiences that medical laypersons (i.e., the patients and their families) considered to be negative, in the context of fracture treatment in children.…”

“…Limb development was normal. The allegations that were made, and the therapeutic errors that were confirmed by the Arbitration Board, are listed in Table 4 according to the error classification and coding scheme of the Medical Error Reporting System (MERS) (11,12). Most of the allegations and errors were easy to classify in this scheme.…”
