The court dismissed the medical malpractice action, finding the plaintiff gave informed consent to the cosmetic surgery.
The plaintiff, Xuan Wu, underwent a Brazilian Butt Lift at the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute and subsequently developed a significant infection.
She sued Dr. Martin Jugenburg and his clinic, alleging that she did not provide informed consent because she was not made aware of the risk of infection.
The court found that informed consent was properly obtained through a series of consultations and written materials, and that the process met the legal standard.
The action was dismissed.
