Cosmetic Surgery Compensation Claims
Cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more popular in the UK, with increasing numbers of women and men opting to improve their looks by going under the surgeon's knife.
According to official figures from the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) almost 29,000 people underwent a cosmetic operation last year.
But while most patients are satisfied with their surgery, more and more are finding that not all operations go to plan. They are left counting not only the financial cost of disappointing results, but also the emotional and physical cost of painful injuries, prolonged suffering and trauma when their cosmetic surgery goes wrong.
Our medical negligence solicitors pursue claims for patients injured by cosmetic surgery. Our work covers a range of issues but the following are most common:
- tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- breast augmentation and reduction
- ear reshaping (otoplasty)
- nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)
- eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- face lift (ryhtidectomy)
- liposuction
Our Expertise
Our team will ensure that your claim is investigated thoroughly and promptly, using the best independent medical experts and barristers. Whatever the nature of the case we focus on the most important medical and evidential issues from the beginning of the investigation. We will ensure the best possible outcome in your cosmetic surgery claim.
How Can We Help You?
Claims often arise because the surgery has not been carried out with the necessary skill by the surgeon, or because treatment of complications following surgery has been negligent.
We recognise that the cost to patients of negligent surgery is not just physical and financial but also psychological. We also recognise that patients find it particularly difficult to come forward about a claim, often because they feel that they have opted for surgery and complications are just something that they should accept. We do everything we can to help our clients, whatever their situation.
We understand that recovering money can never properly compensate our clients for the grave harm they have suffered but our experts believe they can help patients recover both their physical well being and self esteem, by securing the funds they need for corrective surgery and helping them get their lives back on track.
We also hope that by bringing these cases to court we can raise awareness among other patients similarly affected to help improve medical standards and treatment.
Making a Cosmetic Surgery Claim
Our Solicitors handle both plastic and cosmetic surgery compensations claims on a No Win No Fee basis, whether the treatments were provided in an NHS hospital, through a private clinic or by a consultant. That means we will never ask you for any money. If you win your case you will receive 100 per cent of the compensation and we will recover our legal costs from the other party.
