In the same way that people can recover compensation for medical negligence, you could also be entitled to make a cosmetic surgery compensation claim if that’s how you’ve suffered.
Private healthcare organisations have the same duty of care that public ones like the NHS does. At the same time, if cosmetic procedures go wrong with the NHS, their usual duty of care also applies.
If you have undergone a cosmetic procedure and something has gone wrong with any part of the process, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation. We may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Can you make a cosmetic surgery compensation claim?
You could be entitled to make a cosmetic surgery compensation claim if you have been harmed in any way as a result of a cosmetic procedure.
It’s important to know that all procedures come with inherent risks, so we need to identify whether there has been a case of negligence or not. If you have been harmed because of an inherent risk that you knew about and accepted, you may be unable to claim. However, if you were not made clearly aware of a known risk that you then end up suffering from, you could be entitled to claim. This could be on the basis that you were not properly informed and did not provide adequate consent to being exposed to a particular risk.
Other times when you may be able to claim can include:
- Surgical mistakes or errors during treatment being administered;
- Negligent advice about the outcomes or the process of the procedure or treatment, or even undergoing treatment you actually didn’t need;
- Inadequate aftercare or advice in relation to aftercare that leads to a problem.
