What is a Cosmetic Surgery Claim?

A cosmetic surgery claim is your opportunity to seek compensation for injuries or complications caused by medical negligence during a cosmetic procedure. This could involve surgical errors, poor aftercare, or mistakes in non-surgical treatments such as fillers, laser therapy, or chemical peels.

If a clinic, hospital, or beauty salon failed in their duty of care and you’ve suffered as a result, you could be entitled to make a claim. Compensation can help cover medical bills, corrective procedures, lost income, and the emotional impact on your life.

There are time limits for making a claim. In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury or from when you first realised something had gone wrong. If you were under 18 at the time of the procedure, you have until your 21st birthday to claim. The procedure must have taken place in England or Wales.

Yes. While a consent form is important, it does not absolve the provider from responsibility if they were negligent during your procedure.

Yes, it’s crucial that your treatment provider has the appropriate insurance coverage. Many smaller salons or mobile beauticians may not have sufficient insurance, which can make pursuing a claim more challenging. It’s important to check if the provider has the necessary insurance before proceeding with a claim.

Negligence is when a provider’s carelessness leads to an injury. This could include poorly trained staff, inadequate precautions, or faulty equipment. If something went wrong that shouldn’t have, we’re here to help you find justice.

A cosmetic surgery accident happens when something goes wrong during a procedure due to negligence, poor care, or mistakes. This could include surgical errors, faulty implants, infections, or botched non-surgical treatments like fillers.

A cosmetic surgery claim is usually based on the principle that the treatment provider failed to carry out the procedure with reasonable care and skill. Under Section 13 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act, there is an implied term that services will be provided with care and skill. Additionally, we may pursue claims under breach of contract, common law, and/or the Occupiers Liability Act 1957.

If your injuries are serious, please seek medical attention immediately. We also encourage you to:

  • Take photographs of your injury
  • Keep all appointment records
  • Make a note of key information such as names, times, and dates
  • If your hair has been damaged, keep samples
  • Keep receipts
