Our cosmetic surgery claims expertise

Our medical negligence team specialises in cosmetic surgery legal claims. Our experienced team has won many of these claims recovering substantial damages for our clients on a 'no win, no fee' basis.

The number of cosmetic surgery procedures carried out in the UK is rising each year.  It was recently estimated that over 100,000.00 such procedures are performed, with the number of men undergoing cosmetic surgery increasing rapidly.

Cosmetic surgery is any surgical procedure performed for the purposes of appearance and as with any surgical procedure, cosmetic surgery carries certain risks, such as infection and complications with the anaesthetic.  As the number of procedures undertaken rises, so will the number of adverse outcomes as a result of medical negligence and, naturally, the number of cosmetic surgery claims.

A worrying problem with cosmetic surgery is the number of people holding themselves out as cosmetic surgery experts.  Unfortunately, anyone can set up a cosmetic surgery practice.

Cosmetic surgery claims stand out from other surgical negligence claims due to the psychological factors that poor cosmetic surgery carries with it.  The impact of negligent cosmetic surgery can often far exceed that of other surgical negligence claims.

There are many different types of cosmetic surgery, including:

• Plastic Surgery
