Leading team of cosmetic surgery lawyers

Cosmetic surgery is notoriously difficult to regulate. When it goes wrong the impact can be both physical and psychological and can cause extreme stress in your day-to-day life. This is where you may require the expertise of our team of cosmetic surgery lawyers. Where there is medical negligence, you can be entitled to claim compensation from the responsible party.
Some of the more common clinical negligence issues arising in cosmetic surgery are as a result of:

  • Defective breast implants (including PIP implants for breast enlargement (augmentation)
  • Breast uplift (mastopexy)
  • Bariatric surgery (e.g. gastric band, gastric bypass and gastric sleeve)
  • Hair transplant
  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
  • Facial surgery (including rhinoplasty and rytidectomy)
  • Botox treatment
  • Vaginal reconstruction
  • Varicose vein treatments (sclerotherapy).

Who can I make a claim against for cosmetic surgery?

Our team can assist you in making a cosmetic surgery claim against a surgeon working in an NHS hospital, private clinic in England or Wales. If a medical professional fails in their duty of care to you as a patient and causes you to suffer a physical or psychological injury as a result, you may have a valid claim. In some cases, non-surgical cosmetic treatments may also lead to claims if conducted incorrectly, despite being unregulated. Our team can help you pursue compensation against those responsible for any mistreatment.

What will happen when I make a cosmetic surgery negligence claim?

After contacting Thomson Snell & Passmore we will arrange a free initial consultation to discuss whether there is a legal claim and what funding options are available. We usually act on a ‘no win no fee’ agreement.

We will undertake a forensic investigation into the management or treatment you received in the hospital or clinic, using your account of what happened, and your medical records and radiological imaging. Medical experts (usually consultant plastic surgeons) may be involved at an early stage to consider the treatment and management you received, and to advise us on the standards of care that should have been provided, and the outcome that would have been achieved with appropriate treatment. Following this initial investigation we can then advise you on the strength of your case, and give detailed advice on the next steps, which usually starts with preparing a formal letter of allegations to the relevant defendant.
