Cosmetic surgery, which is also commonly known as plastic surgery, has advanced and gained in popularity over the years.
Patients seeking procedures often do so to correct flaws they believe they have, and doctors are under an obligation and a duty to inform patients of all of the associated risks before operating.
Failure to inform patients of risks or delivering procedures below standard can result in a claim for medical negligence.

How Swain & Co Solicitors can help
In assessing whether you have a potential claim, we will need to establish if the risks of the surgery were properly explained to you before you had the procedure. If they were, then this may have an effect on your chance of having a successful claim. However, even if the risks were discussed with you it may be that your surgery was not done to an acceptable standard.
We work on behalf of clients who have had surgery through the NHS or a private procedure.
Types of cosmetic surgery which you may be unhappy with are:
- Breast augmentation including enlargement, breast reduction, or breast uplift surgery
- Facial procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery or nose re-shaping
- Tummy tucks and liposuction
- Treatment by laser or injection – laser hair removal, botox, etc.
- Ear pinning or correction
