What to do if cosmetic surgery goes wrong
If your cosmetic surgery has gone wrong and you’d like to speak to a solicitor about whether you can claim compensation then contact our free legal helpline.
This is our guide to what to do if cosmetic surgery goes wrong.
Firstly, we would recommend discussing your concerns with your cosmetic surgeon. They may be able to put your mind at rest or suggest steps that can be taken to rectify the situation.
If having done this you remain unhappy then you can consider making a formal complaint. The clinic or hospital will have a complaints procedure which should ensure that your complaint will be fully and fairly investigated.
You may also wish to ask for your money back if you feel that the results of the surgery were not satisfactory.
However before you do this we would recommend that you seek expert legal advice from solicitors who specialise in cosmetic surgery law.
This is because you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation and it is important that you do not compromise your case or prejudice any such claim by reaching an agreement for money to be returned to you.
You can read about how to make a compensation claim here. We offer a free case assessment service and will be happy to give you guidance on whether a compensation claim can be pursued.
If you do make a compensation claim then you can not only seek recovery of the fees that you paid for the surgery, but also compensation for your ‘pain and suffering’ along with the costs of any further medical treatment that you may require, as well as all your out-of-pocket expenses.
Claims are often supported by expert medical evidence, which will consider any long term health impacts, such as scarring or psychological problems.
