What to do if my 4 year old daughter had a scalp tissue expand last year to minimize a scar that she had from surgery but now her scar is worse than before?
The purpose of the surgery is minimize the bald spot she had her head which was from a nevus removal surgery. Now 4 months after, the stitches stretch out, I can see the scar is worst than the old one. The direction of hair grow make the hair part to both sides and show the scar. She also has an additional scar run vertical from the top to near the nape. Is this a malpractice case? Should I file a case against the surgeon? What should I do if I can’t afford an attorney now?

An internet lawyer cannot answer this question. It depends on so many factors, that a malpractice lawyer must look at the individual circumstances very carefully. I suggest you consult several malpractice attorneys in your area. They do not charge for consultations. If a malpractice attorney believes you have a meritorious case, he or she will manage the case on a contingent fee basis - this means you do not have to pay for the attorney or the costs unless you win. The fees and costs will be deducted from a settlement or judgment and you do not have to pay in advance.
Good luck. I hope this helps.
