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.
