Cosmetic Surgery Compensation Claims
Cosmetic surgery procedures have become increasingly popular in the UK. According to our recent survey, 1 in 3 Brits have had or would consider having cosmetic facial surgery. In most cases, the quality of treatment is satisfactory and patients are left confident in their results. However, when cosmetic procedures go wrong due to substandard medical treatment or if a cosmetic surgeon makes a mistake, patients can be left suffering from unexpected, and sometimes life-changing, injuries.
If you have suffered an injury during or after your cosmetic surgery and believe that a medical professional is at fault, you could be entitled to compensation.

What Are Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims?
Cosmetic surgery negligence claims are put forward when patients receive poor care surrounding their cosmetic treatment. Inadequate or negligent care can often result in physical injuries such as scarring as well as psychological suffering which can have devastating effects.
There are risks involved with all surgeries, especially cosmetic procedures, and so it is possible for complications to occur that cannot be blamed on negligence. In these cases, you should have been advised of the possible risks before your surgery. If you were not warned of the risks and experienced an injury related to your cosmetic surgery, you may be entitled to make a claim for medical negligence.
Common Types of Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims
As specialist cosmetic surgery solicitors, we deal with claims surrounding specific cosmetic procedures such as:
- Breast Augmentation Claims
- Facial surgery claims
- Liposuction/abdominoplasty claims
- Hair transplant claims
- Gastric band claims
- Non-surgical claims
Many of these claims often include common types of negligence such as:
- Implant faults including leakage
- Severe scarring and disfigurement
- Lack of information from the surgeon
- Failure to inform patient of the risks
- Infections and allergies

What Are the Consequences of Negligent Cosmetic Surgery?
The effects of negligent cosmetic surgery can not only affect you physically but could also impact you emotionally, especially when the outcome of your treatment is not what you expected. Below are some of the complications that might occur from negligent cosmetic surgery:
- Implant faults – for example, if a faulty implant was used in your procedure, you may need to have the implant removed, requiring further surgery.
- Surgical mistakes – errors in your cosmetic surgery could lead to scarring and disfigurement.
- Infections – most surgical wounds heal normally without any complications. However, if you develop an infection due to negligent treatment, the consequences can be extremely serious. If your infection develops into sepsis for example, this can cause organs to shut down and can be fatal.
- Allergies – if you developed an allergic reaction following cosmetic treatment, which was due to negligence, again this can have a serious impact on your health.
Am I Eligible to Make a Cosmetic Surgery Claim?
You may be eligible to make a claim if you believe that any part of your cosmetic surgery was not performed correctly, including any explanation by the surgeon prior to your procedure.

When you contact us, we will very quickly advise you on the eligibility of your claim. It costs you nothing to find out if you have a case, and all our claims are dealt with by specialist medical negligence solicitors, on a strictly no win no fee basis.
How to Make a Cosmetic Surgery Claim
It’s important that you get in touch as soon as possible if you would like to make a cosmetic surgery claim. Submitting your claim for cosmetic surgery compensation is easy. You can contact our team of medical negligence experts either by phone or you can complete our online form.
In most cases, you have 3 years from the “date of knowledge” to bring your claim for negligent cosmetic surgery. The “date of knowledge” is the date when you first became aware that a mistake had been made.
How Much Compensation Could I Be Entitled to For A Cosmetic Surgery Claim?
In general, the amount of compensation depends on the length of time you have suffered for, and the impact that the error has had on your daily life. However, every medical negligence case is different.
If you were unable to work, we will recover any lost earnings for any period you were absent because of what happened. You may have needed family and friends to help, or even professional care, and our team will make sure their time is compensated for as well.
Our specialist medical lawyers will use their experience to make sure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation you deserve.

Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
