Woman alleges cosmetic lip procedure caused injuries

Justice scales

CHICAGO – A woman alleges she sustained permanent injuries after collagen injections to her lips.

A woman is suing Dr. Thomas Kelly, Chicago Medical and Surgical Center Inc. and Grand Park Surgical Center Inc., citing alleged negligence.

Erika Rocha filed a complaint on April 1 in Cook County Circuit Court against Dr. Thomas Kelly, Chicago Medical and Surgical Center Inc. and Grand Park Surgical Center Inc. alleging that they failed to exercise reasonable and appropriate medical care and treatment.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on April 5, 2014, she suffered pain, cosmetic deformity and medical expenses. The plaintiff holds the defendants responsible because the defendants allegedly failed to properly perform the cosmetic lip augmentation on her, which caused granuloma formation and migration.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks an amount in excess of court's jurisdictional limits, plus the costs of suit. She is represented by Randall F. Peters of Randall F. Peters & Associates in Chicago.
