Cosmetic Surgery Claims Solicitors

The number of people undergoing cosmetic surgery in the UK has risen in recent years and the overall standard of practice is high. There are however many unfortunate cases where surgeons carry out cosmetic procedures without the necessary skills to do so or have performed them to a substandard quality.

The results of negligent surgery can cause physical, financial and psychological damage. If the clinic or individual that undertook the procedure were negligent against you, you may be able to make a compensation claim. Our experienced solicitors will guide you through every step of making your claim and will do everything within our power to achieve the best possible compensation for you.

Making a Cosmetic Surgery Compensation Claim

At Farleys we strongly believe that all surgical procedures should be carried out with the necessary care and skill, regardless of whether it is for cosmetic purposes or otherwise. We understand that cosmetic procedures are often undergone to increase self-confidence and any mistakes made can have a devastating effect on you as a patient.

At Farleys, we pursue the majority of claims on a ‘no win no fee’ basis.  Our experienced team of medical negligence solicitors understand that pursuing a claim of this nature can be daunting. Our solicitors will help you feel at ease and keep you informed of the progress of your claim at every stage.

Our solicitors have a wealth of experienced in making claims for procedures that have been performed incorrectly or where appropriate skill or safety precautions were lacking, winning thousands of pounds in compensation for clients.

Common Cosmetic Surgery Claims

Compensation claims commonly (but not exhaustively) arise as a result of:

• Tummy tucks (Abdominoplasty)
• Gastric bands
• Breast augmentation
• Breast reduction
• Ear reshaping (Otoplasty)
• Nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty)
• Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty)
• Face lifts (Rhytidectomy)
• Brow lifts
• Liposuction
• Cosmetic dentistry
• Damage to nerves, arteries or organs

Claims also commonly arise through doctors failing to provide a full explanation as to the risks associated with a procedure, thereby failing to obtain informed consent from the patient.

Patients also face the risk of receiving substandard care from nurses or doctors during the post-operative recovery period. Contracting an infection post-surgery can be unavoidable at times and is not necessarily indicative of any negligence having occurred. Failing to detect signs of infection and failing to provide the appropriate treatment can, however, give rise to a claim.

If you think you may have received substandard care during or after a cosmetic surgery procedure, don’t hesitate to contact our specialised team for a no-obligation assessment of your claim.
