Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims

When it comes to cosmetic surgery compensation claims, there are many different types of cosmetic surgery negligence that you may be able to claim for, including:

• Reconstructive facial surgery and grafts
• Rhinoplasty procedures (‘nose jobs’)
• Face lifts and chin tucks
• Breast augmentations
• Liposuction and gastric banding
• Labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation procedures
• Laser treatment
• Facial treatment resulting in burns

Whether you’re claiming breast surgery compensation, plastic surgery compensation or another type of cosmetic surgery compensation, you may be able to claim against either the individual or the company that performed your procedure.

Cosmetic surgery procedures can be dangerous, and your surgeon has a duty of care to keep you safe and provide you with a positive surgical outcome. If they (or the company they work for) has failed this duty of care, then you may be able to make a cosmetic surgery compensation claim against them.

The amount of compensation you receive as a result of your cosmetic surgery compensation claim will depend on the harm, suffering and/or loss that you have experienced as a result of your surgeon’s negligence.

• Loss of income (past and future)
• Care provided for you by friends and family
• Past and future medical expenses
• Paid help such as in-home nurses, cleaners etc.

Any compensation you receive for your cosmetic surgery negligence compensation claim will usually be awarded as a single lump payment to you, and can cover expenses like:
