With approximately 26,000 people in the UK having had some kind of cosmetic surgery in 2023, it is no surprise that there has been a corresponding rise in the number of complaints about cosmetic procedures not being carried out correctly, or patients not obtaining the results they expected.
Our team are experts in this specialist area of law and offer a free consultation about making a cosmetic surgery compensation claim.
Typical cases that we deal with include:
- Breast augmentations
- Rhinoplasty or septoplasty (Nose jobs)
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy tucks)
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid surgery)
- Face lifts
- Plastic surgery
- Liposuction

What can go wrong?
Here are some examples of what can go wrong when someone undergoes cosmetic surgery:
- Not achieving the results that were promised.
- Complications during surgery, which can lead to hospital admissions.
- Severe infections.
- Nerve damage.
- Abnormal scarring.
- Necrosis.
- The wrong procedure being performed or procedures not being completed.
What can I claim for?
If you have not received the outcome you expected, or you feel your surgeon has been negligent, you may be able to claim compensation. You could receive a refund for the cost of the procedure, compensation for additional expenses (such as future medical treatment or remedial surgery), your ‘pain and suffering’ (including residual scarring and any psychological symptoms you have suffered), loss of earnings, and all other costs associated with the surgery and your recovery.
