It depends on what happened, but potentially yes. Cosmetic surgery, even though elective, still has a duty of care like any medical procedure. You might have a claim if:
- You weren't properly informed: Did you understand the risks and potential complications?
- The procedure was negligent: Were there errors made, or was the surgery performed below reasonable standards?
- Aftercare was poor: A lack of proper follow-ups can worsen the outcome, and that's on the surgeon.
- You're suffering long-term effects: This could include physical disfigurement, scarring, or significant emotional distress.
How "it happens" can help:
- Sensitive and clear advice: We understand how upsetting this is, and we'll handle your case with compassion.
- Gathering medical evidence: Getting expert assessments of the surgery and its repercussions is essential.
- Assessing your claim's value: This includes corrective treatment costs and compensation for your suffering.
