Cosmetic Surgery

Many people undergo cosmetic surgery for a variety of reasons. Some have reconstructive surgery following treatments for illness or after sustaining serious injuries, while others might elect to undergo surgery to help with their own self-esteem.

Whatever the reason for having cosmetic surgery, you are entitled to expect an acceptable level of care when receiving treatment of any kind. Unfortunately for many people, the standard of care they receive falls well below that level.

As one of the country's leading personal injury law firms, Fentons Solicitors LLP has for many years helped secure compensation for individuals who were injured in cosmetic surgery cases including:

• Breast augmentation
• Rhinoplasty/nasal reconstruction
• Liposuction
• Scar reduction
• Facelifts and eyelid reduction
• Silicone implant surgery

As the principal aim of cosmetic surgery is to help the patient be comfortable with their physical appearance, it can be particularly distressing when treatments go wrong.

Our specialist team of medical negligence lawyers understands this, and are is dedicated to pursuing compensation on behalf of victims who have become injured, ill or unnecessarily scarred as a result of a medical professional’s failure to fulfil their duty of care.

The medical negligence team - which includes experienced medical negligence lawyers and qualified nurses – has have an in-depth knowledge of medical standards and regulations, ensuring that they can provide you with a caring and empathetic service and helping guide you through the process of making a claim.

We recognise that each claim for compensation is unique, and your appointed solicitor will take time to understand fully the circumstances leading to your current situation.

If you are worried about ending up with a big legal bill then don't. Our medical negligence solicitors will provide a no obligation initial consultation where we will discuss the circumstances of your case with you. We will tell you if we believe you could pursue a claim and clearly explain your options to you.

We will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of your case, seeking to prove that the level of care and treatment you received fell below what was expected or acceptable.

Because there are strict limits for bringing medical negligence claims for compensation, we would always advise you to contact us as soon as possible and not to delay as this could prevent you from claiming.

Our friendly, sympathetic experts are on hand to listen to your story and offer you the best practical advice on what options are open to you, and whether you have a strong legal case. If your medical negligence compensation claim is successful, you will receive 100 percent of the damages recovered and the defendant’s insurance company will pay our costs.
