All-on-4 Necrosis in Colombia: Who Is Responsible

It’s 2am, and you can’t sleep. You’re staring at your phone, anxiety clawing at your throat. The All-on-4 dental procedure you had in Colombia has left you suffering from necrosis. You wish you could turn back time, but instead, you’re left with unexpected pain and worry. The disfigurement, the constant discomfort — it’s more than you could have ever anticipated. Your partner is willing to fight for you, to pay whatever it takes, but you’re unsure where to start. You deserve answers; you deserve justice. You’re not alone in this.

What Just Happened to You Is Not Your Fault

Please know that what you’re going through is not uncommon. Many women make the journey to Colombia for All-on-4 implants, entrusting their health and appearance to procedures that sometimes go wrong. Necrosis following these surgeries can happen and is often a result of factors related to the care provided, not your negligence or decisions. You put your faith in the hands of medical professionals, and it’s natural to feel scared and frustrated when things take a turn for the worse. Remember, you are not to blame for the complications you are facing.

Is This Medical Malpractice in Colombia?

Your suffering raises appropriate questions about possible medical malpractice in Colombia. Generally, medical malpractice involves a failure to meet a standard of care that results in harm to the patient. In this context, necrosis following an All-on-4 procedure could indicate that the treatment did not adhere to the accepted practices, or «lex artis,» which defines how medical procedures should be properly carried out. If the negligence of a healthcare provider contributed to your condition, you may have grounds for a claim.

Why Colombia Is Different From the US or Canada

Navigating medical malpractice claims in Colombia can feel daunting, especially because it differs from the processes you might be accustomed to in the US or Canada. Here, contingency fees are not common, and cases can take 3-4 years to resolve. But don’t lose hope! Justice is indeed possible, even if it doesn’t come in the quick manner you might wish for. Many doctors expect foreign patients not to pursue justice after complications arise, but you don’t have to be one of them. Persistence can lead to a resolution.

What You Should Do Right Now

If you haven’t done these things yet, please consider the following steps:

• Gather all your medical records related to the All-on-4 procedure.
• Take photographs of any visible signs of necrosis or other complications.
• Avoid signing any documents or waivers without legal counsel.
• Reach out to a medical malpractice lawyer in Colombia sooner rather than later.
• Be mindful of the 3-year statute of limitations before taking action.

How Much Compensation Can You Recover?

The types of compensation you might pursue can vary widely, depending on your individual case. You may be able to recover damages for physical pain, psychological distress, the costs of corrective surgeries, lost income during your recovery, and even moral damages for the emotional turmoil this has caused you. Notably, some cases before the Colombian Supreme Court have resulted in settlements exceeding USD 500,000.
