Cosmetic / plastic surgery
Thousands of patients undergo plastic surgery each year and for some, surgery might improve the appearance of scarring following an accident or injury, or it might involve reconstructing a breast following mastectomy. For others, cosmetic surgery can be used as a way of improving their appearance, perhaps through the use of liposuction, a tummy tuck procedure or a nose job.
In some cases, patients are unhappy with the results of their surgery, although this does not always lead to a successful claim for negligence.
Claims against cosmetic surgeons often arise because patients are left with more scarring than had been expected, or scarring in an unexpected area. In other cases, nerves may become damaged during procedures, and the aftercare can also be of a poor standard, leading to inadequate treatment of infections.
If you have suffered as a result of a inadequate plastic surgery, the law could help you find out what happened and why, and in some cases claim compensation for your suffering. Contact us for further information.
