Medical Negligence

Cosmetic Surgery Claims

People undergo plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery every day and claims often arise due to surgeons performing operations with a lack of proper experience or due to complications that should not have arisen.

Negligently performed plastic surgery has a huge impact on the patient, physically and psychologically. Often they find it difficult to come forward and even discuss a claim. Our medical injury team have a wealth of experience in advising both men and women in cosmetic surgery negligence claims and take a highly sensitive approach to such cases, ensuring that clients feel comfortable and confident when providing information to us and pursuing their claims.

From abdominoplasty to rhinoplasty, our experts guide clients with compassion and sensitivity, addressing cases arising from surgeon inexperience or unexpected complications. We understand the profound physical and psychological impact of negligently performed cosmetic surgery, creating a safe space for clients to share their experiences. 

Compensation claims cover various procedures, ensuring redress for scarring, disfigurement, or extreme outcomes like amputation or death. Trust our experienced team to navigate these complexities, providing support and expertise in pursuing justice for victims of cosmetic surgery negligence.

Typical Cases

Cosmetic Surgery Compensation Claims

Claims following plastic surgery can arise for many different reasons, and from many different procedures, which include:

  • Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck);
  • Breast augmentation (increasing breast size);
  • Breast reduction (decreasing breast size);
  • Mastopexy (breast lift);
  • Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery);
  • Liposuction (having fatty tissue removed from areas of the body);
  • Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping); and
  • Rhytidectomy (face lift).

Sometimes patients will be left with excessive scarring, disfigurement and, in extreme cases, amputation or even death. Psychiatric injury may result and can be compensated for in appropriate claims.

For further information please see Frequently Asked Questions about Clinical Negligence Claims. We do not charge for dealing with initial enquiries even if we do not take the claim on. This way you can be safe in the knowledge that you can receive expert legal advice about your complaint without committing to any obligations regarding fees. If we consider that you have a claim which is likely to be successful then we can offer you a “no win no fee” agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical Neglience

If a cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery has left you with unexpected permanent scarring, disfigurement, or ill because of complications or lack of experience, never feel like you cannot gain compensation. Contact us on 01273 249200 to assess your case and we can assist in your next steps and in being your legal representation.

It is unlikely you will be able to bring a claim in England or Wales for cosmetic surgery that happened abroad. You may be able to bring a claim in the country you had the surgery in. You would need to speak to a solicitor in the country where the surgery happened however to understand what rights you may have.

Alex is a real star. He is capable of running the most serious clinical negligence claims. He is personable, efficient and knows his cases inside out.

All the lawyers I have worked with at Dean Wilson are well organised and thorough in their approach.

A wonderful firm that has helped me from beginning to end of my case.

Alex Brown and his team have guided and advised me during my recent personal injury claim in a most professional and courteous manner. Their advice has been faultless throughout and the attention to detail when constructing statements and building my case resulted in a settlement that was on the high side of my expectations.

After our son had an accident at work resulting in life-changing injuries, we were given the name of this law firm to help us deal with the aftermath. Ben Davey and his team were efficient, friendly and caring and, after a great deal of hard work, we achieved a very satisfactory outcome for our son. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm.

Great service and expertise during a tricky case and time in my life. Ben was brilliant and did his best to understand the confusing world of motorsport and translate to the legal world in the best way possible.

Ben Davey and Tom Saady Gardiner supported us through navigating our son’s inquest. With the professionalism of Dean Wilson, delivered by Ben and our Barrister, the outcome of the inquest recognised the failings in our son’s care, which was the outcome we had hoped to achieve. Tom’s empathy and kindness was greatly appreciated over the course of the 5 day inquest. If you find yourself in this unenviable position then we would not hesitate in recommending Dean Wilson to help you navigate this overwhelming process.

My experience with Dean Wilson was an excellent one. At the start of my claim, I didn’t understand what was going on and how it worked but thanks to Ben Davey, Jessica Edwards and the rest of the team who helped me comprehend how the claim works from start to finish and was always ready to give advice.

I had a case of medical negligence and I can’t praise Ben Davey enough. I was kept informed of everything all throughout my case which took a long time but was there to help all the way. I would highly recommend to anyone who needed help and my claim was settled way beyond what we expected.

My father sadly lost his sight due to a failure in the system in the NHS, from the moment we raised this with the team led by Ben Davey we felt in safe and trusted hands. Things were made easy for me to assist my father we came to very pragmatic conclusion to ensure my dad’s last days can be improved. Professional, supportive, timely, and kind would be my summary. Highly recommended.

I can’t thank Dean Wilson enough for what they did for me after I was involved in a horrific road traffic accident, followed by major surgery and long rehabilitation. Ben and Tom followed my case and patiently explained to me the legal intricacies of personal injury claims. They always replied promptly to my queries using easily understandable terms. They were professional throughout, extremely competent and, last but not least, very kind and empathic.
