NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former exotic dancer won $30,000 in a jury verdict on Monday after she sued her Park Avenue plastic surgeon for using breast implants to enhance her buttocks. Mary Gale, 43, of North Miami, Fla., accused Dr. Elliot Jacobs of negligence and malpractice in the November 1990 procedure. Gale said that she suffered mental anguish and physical pain and was no longer able to earn $500 a night dancing in men's clubs. She now works as a bartender. In reaching its verdict, the civil jury in state Supreme Court in Manhattan decided that the doctor departed from ``good and accepted medical practice.''

Breast implants belong in the breast area,'' she said after the verdict. During the trial, Jacobs testified that Gale ``knew what she was getting'' when she underwent the procedure. He said he charged her $6,500 to put the implants in and another $1,500 to remove them several weeks later. There were no commercially available buttock implants on the market at the time, he said. Gale also testified, weeping as she told the jury how she had been disfigured. ``I couldn't dance. I would have looked like a freak show,'' she said on the witness stand.
