Dr Lanzer Class Action

Maddens Lawyers have commenced a class action against Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Services Pty Ltd (DCSS) and the following doctors (defendants):

• Dr Daniel Lanzer
• Dr Daniel Aronov
• Dr Daniel Darbyshire
• Dr Ryan Wells
• Dr Alieza Fallahi (Dr Ali)

The class action has been commenced in the Victorian Supreme Court on behalf of all patients who have suffered loss or damage because of cosmetic surgery being performed at DCSS or by one or more of the defendants. The class action alleges that each of the defendants engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. It is also alleged that cosmetic surgeries were not undertaken with an appropriate level of care and skill.

Hundreds of patients of DCSS have reported devastating experiences and outcomes in connection with cosmetic surgery procedures such as:

• inadequate pre surgery consultations
• botched results
• a lack or complete absence of after care
• psychological trauma
• lasting physical deformities
• nerve pain
• numbness.

There is a range of procedures patients have undertaken such as:

• liposuction (including '360 lipo' and 'mega lipo')
• otoplasty
• face lifts
• tummy tucks
• BBLs
• treatments for lipodemia
• breast augmentation
• liposculpture.

Any patient who has had an adverse outcome as a result of their cosmetic surgery at DCSS or by one of the defendants may be eligible to participate in the class action. Patients are encouraged to contact Maddens Lawyers to discuss their circumstances, confidentially and with no obligation.

Maddens Lawyers is advancing the class action on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
