Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery claims for botched treatment are on the rise in the UK, as the number of procedures performed increases.
One reason for the increase in cases, especially relating to procedures involving Botox and dermal fillers, is that anyone can set up a cosmetic surgery practice and call themselves an ‘expert’.
A feature of most cosmetic surgery claims is the psychological injury caused to patients after a procedure goes wrong. These can have a debilitating impact on all aspects of an individual’s life, so it is important to seek legal advice from a professional able to secure the compensation that reflects your situation.
