Can I claim compensation for cosmetic surgery negligence?

Like any other surgery, cosmetic surgery can be risky, especially when done in the wrong hands. When negative outcomes occur due to negligence is it likely that a medical negligence claim can be made.

Cosmetic surgery is not as heavily regulated as other medical fields and nowadays it is very easy to access it without realising the dangers. Sadly, this results in many cosmetic procedures being performed by inexperienced staff, and disreputable operators that lack the required skills and are not equipped to treat complications if they arise.

How can I claim compensation for cosmetic surgery negligence?

Cosmetic surgery negligence claims can be a bit different to personal injury claims because it needs to be verified that the breach of duty was the cause of your injury. Basically, you’ll need proof that the medical professional who treated you was negligent and acted below the standard that is expected of skilled professionals in the cosmetic surgery field.

So, in order to bring a claim for cosmetic surgery negligence forward, you must be able to prove that your injury and negative results could have been prevented. No matter how poorly the operators and inexperienced the staff might have been, the aim is to demonstrate that their actions caused your suffering.
