MORGANTOWN A Star City couple is suing Akkary Center for Weight Management & Surgical Services for negligent care during a procedure.
Dr. Ehab Akkary was also named as a defendant in the suit.
Eden Richmond and Nathan Richmond filed the lawsuit after Eden Richmond sought to have a breast reduction to alleviate back and neck pain, according to a complaint filed in Monongalia Circuit Court.
The Richmonds claim Akkary recommended bilateral breast liposuction, but following the surgery, she had many problems including uncontrolled pain, blisters on her breasts and hematomas that developed in one of her breasts.
Akkary knew or should have known that performing a bilateral breast reduction was not the appropriate procedure for Eden, the complaint states.
