The number of UK cosmetic surgery negligence cases is increasing

There has been a steady increase in the number of cases related to UK patients affected by cosmetic surgery negligence. At the time of consultation, cosmetic surgeons provide assurances and show pictures of people who had undergone cosmetic surgery. But due to bodies being different for different people, people often are not satisfied with the end result. There are also cases where the patients had badly suffered due to faulty cosmetic procedures. Such affected patients can get the help of personal injury solicitors who are experienced in claims for cosmetic surgery negligence.

Cosmetic surgeries that are applicable for the claims process include Botox, facial fillers, laser procedures such as laser hair removal, breast implants, nose jobs, varicose vein treatment and tummy tucks. Personal injury solicitors treat the incident as an accident and take the case forward with the insurance company with whom the cosmetic surgery provider has taken out a policy. There are a number of patients in the recent past who have received the full eligible compensation by using the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer.

A Case Study

In one such case, a 39 year old lady in Leicester underwent a cosmetic surgery procedure to set right her spider vein problem. The cosmetic treatment for removing the vein was actually provided by a set of beauticians, who had learnt the procedure recently by watching videos provided by the cosmetic surgery equipment manufacturer.

The treatment provider didn't test the effectiveness of the procedure by doing it on a small portion of the patient's skin. They started applying the procedure on the entire skin area resulting in unwanted scars and permanent pigment discoloration. Soon the lady decided to take the help of an experienced personal injury solicitor specializing in handling cosmetic surgery accidents. She finally got an accident claim of 10,500 pounds by working with the experienced attorney.
