Cosmetic Surgery Claims

Cosmetic surgery is usually undertaken for aesthetic purposes. Any person seeking cosmetic surgery should be provided with a realistic expectation of the outcome. Compensation claims can arise from a surgeon’s misrepresentation to a patient about the likely appearance of the body part being modified.

As with any surgical procedure, cosmetic surgery involves risks such as infections and complications with the anesthetic. It is essential that a person seeking cosmetic surgery is fully informed about the risks and any alternative options before making a decision.

The number of cosmetic surgery procedures carried out in the UK has risen rapidly in recent years. The surgery is usually undertaken in the private sector and it is typically an expensive process. With the growth of people having cosmetic procedures there has been an increase in cosmetic surgeons and treatment centers.

We have dealt with any cases of medical negligence by cosmetic surgeons which have often led to permanent scarring and disfigurement.

Post-operative treatment and management is just as important as the procedure itself. We have succeeded with compensation cases against surgeons and nurses that failed to notice “red flag signs” during a patient’s recovery from cosmetic surgery which often results in infection and deformity.
