New York Woman Gets 3.5 Million After Doctor Gives her Four Breasts

Thursday, March 11, 2010 11:22 PM
Was he a TUSCL member? A New York mom who said her botched boob job left her looking like she had four breasts was awarded $3.5 million for pain and suffering, the New York Post reported Thursday. "I hope this will give other women in the same position the courage to come forward," said Maria Alaimo, 47. The jury found that Dr. Keith Berman botched her 2003 plastic surgery, which was supposed to be a breast lift and augmentation, leaving her with an embarrassing condition known as "double bubble deformities." Describing the condition, her lawyer Michael Kuharski said, "It appears like there's two breasts (on each side) stacked on top of each other." The bungled surgery even contributed to the end of her marriage, he said. "She slept in a different room, she's depressed, she lost her self-esteem," said Kuharski. "She ultimately pushed her husband away to the extent that he filed for divorce."

    "She slept in a different room, she's depressed, she lost her self-esteem," said Kuharski. I thought a main reason women got implants was to get "self-esteem"?

    Could have made for an interesting "Russian" experience.

    wow reminds me of this strip club commercial : [view link] The plastic surgeon was busy with going to the SC and made her breasts too large...she wakes up and was like "what can I do with these?!" and his reply "oh you can go work as a stripper"

    The doctor was certainly at fault, but $3.5 million? The trial lawyers, unions, and Obama will bankrupt this Country if we don't change it soon. I suspect most 47yr. old women would take a botched boob job for $3.5 million. Hope a sane judge reduces the amount at some point.

    Pain and suffering should be capped as it is in CA,TX, and Georgia. Trial lawyers like Sen. Lindsey Graham and ex-Senator John Edwards have been milking us dry.
