The Kuwaiti woman was awarded a compensation of KD 50,000 by the Civil Court, as per their ruling. This decision was made due to a medical error committed by an expatriate doctor working at a renowned cosmetic clinic. The doctor, who is a dermatologist and not specialized in liposuction, had to perform a mastectomy on the woman. It is important to mention that the Criminal Court had previously sentenced the doctor to six months in prison, followed by deportation from the country upon completion of the sentence.
