Cosmetic Surgery
It is now a common place that more people are changing their appearance through cosmetic surgery and other procedures. While many of these people are satisfied with the results of these procedures, others may suffer injuries, disfigurement, or other complications due to medical negligence. Advantage Solicitors have recovered a substantial amount of damages for our clients over many years of experience in representing unfortunate victims of such trajic negligence.
The term “cosmetic surgery” refers to surgical procedures intended to improve a person’s appearance. These procedures are sometimes used to treat people that have sustained serious injuries but aren’t a treatment for medical conditions.
Cosmetic surgery can be used to reduce scarring or repair disfigurement caused by injury. However, many procedures are entirely elective. Some of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery include:
- Nose Augmentation (Rhinoplasty)
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
- Breast Augmentation
- Liposuction
- Tummy Tucks
- Facelifts
- Skin Resurfacing
- Hair Transpalnts
Not everyone dissatisfied with the results of a cosmetic procedure is a victim of negligence However, if the medical professionals you worked with failed to inform you of the risks associated with your procedure, or if they failed to identify safety risks or follow safety protocols, they may be guilty of medical negligence.
Errors are likely to occur when the surgeon lacks experience and makes major mistakes before, during, or after the procedure. Some examples of cosmetic surgery errors include:
- Leaving a patient with excessive scarring
- Performing a procedure on the wrong body part
- Nerve damage
- Mistakes resulting in infection
- Going beyond what the patient has consented to
- Performing surgery without the necessary experience
- Performing surgery without a license
- Anesthesia errors
These errors could result in permanent scarrings, disfigurement, and serious health issues, such as organ damage or blood clots. If you believe your cosmetic surgeon showed medical negligence, you should speak with a medical injury lawyer as soon as possible.
