Cosmetic Surgery
Nowadays cosmetic surgery is much more widely available and includes a wider range of procedures. The people who administer the treatment do not always have to be medically trained.
Claims can be made whether the treatment is provided under the NHS or privately. Unfortunately the procedures are risky and problems can occur. Not all problems are as a result of negligent treatment but all the risks should be fully explained.
It can be embarrassing and distressing when cosmetic surgery goes wrong. The costs and stress of undergoing corrective treatment can be substantial. We deal with both major and minor claims with the sympathy and knowledge that you need.
Common areas where complications can arise include:
• Weight Loss surgery including gastric bands, gastric bypasses and liposuction
• Breast surgery including implants, reductions and uplifts
• Botox injections
• Risks of procedures not fully explained
• Facial corrective procedures such as rhinoplasty, removal of bags or brow drops, facelifts
• Excessive scarring
To succeed in such a claim, the treatment must have been substandard and caused an injury.
