Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims
If you have undergone cosmetic surgery and have suffered unnecessary pain, injuries or disfigurement as a result of the surgeon’s negligence, you may be eligible to make cosmetic surgery negligence claims.
The cosmetic surgery industry has increased over the years with more and more people choosing to enhance their appearance by using surgical means. Although most of these surgeries are carried out by highly skilled professionals, there are times when cosmetic surgeries do not yield the expected results.
Poor surgical techniques and mistakes made by cosmetic surgeons during or after the procedure can lead to unnecessary pain, discomfort, horrific scarring and even health problems. In addition, the individual may be required to undergo further surgeries to correct the mistakes which were made by the surgeons. Some of the common types of cosmetic surgery negligence cases include:
- ineffective results from laser surgery, rhinoplasty and dermabrasion
- unexpected scarring caused by liposuction procedures, facelifts, breast augmentation surgeries
- perforation of the bowel caused by liposuction procedures
- accessory nerve damage
- vision problems caused by poor laser eye surgery techniques
Making Cosmetic Surgery Negligence Claims
As with any other surgical procedure, cosmetic surgery also carries with it certain risks, but the risks increases if the patient chooses an unregistered specialist or clinic. Where clinics are not checked and regulated, chances are that you may be treated by a surgeon who is not properly qualified.
Negligence with cosmetic surgery can also occur with simple procedures such as botox injections and forehead lifts.
