Cosmetic surgery is
more popular today than it has ever been
before and over 70,000 men and women spend
over £200 million per year on cosmetic
procedures to improve their appearance.
There are estimated 75,000 cosmetic
procedures carried out each year.
As a result of the
increase in cosmetic surgery in the UK there
has, sadly, also been an increase in the
number of medical negligence cases arising
from negligent cosmetic surgey.
Although cosmetic
surgery does not come with any greater risk
than normal surgery, there are occasions
when people undertake cosmetic surgery
without being fully aware of the potential
risks or costs or long term implications, if
something goes wrong.
Our dedicated team of
solicitors are able to deal with all aspects
of cosmetic surgery claims and will guide
you through the entire process.
If you have had a
cosmetic surgery procedure which has failed
or left you with scarring or additional
medical problems you may be entitled to

claim for the cost of corrective surgery and

and is more than could be reasonably
expected following an operation
-
Uneven or badly
scarred breasts as a result of breast
augmentation/breast reduction
-
Nerve damage that
has resulted from a facelift procedure

A perforated bowel
that occurred during a ‘tummy tuck’
operation.
