Compensation For Negligent Plastic Surgery
If you have been the victim of plastic surgery negligence, you will be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you have been caused – not only physically but also emotionally. You will also be entitled to a sum for the acute financial loss you have incurred, something which will help to pay for expensive corrective treatment.
Claiming for negligently performed plastic surgery
Many people feel that because they have elected to undergo plastic surgery (ie. it was their own personal choice) they must simply live with the results, regardless of whether the outcome was good or bad. However, this is not the case: if your surgeon performed your operation to a substandard level, you will be considered the victim of medical negligence. It does not matter whether it was carried out on a private basis; you are still obliged to receive an acceptable standard of care from medical professionals.
Plastic surgery medical negligence can take a variety of forms. Amongst other things, you may have suffered:-
- Permanent nerve damage;
- Unsatisfactory results – eg. a lopsided appearance;
- Excessive scarring;
- Loss of function – eg. your sense of smell is reduced because of a rhinoplasty;
- Disfigurement.
