If a mistake was made during your cosmetic surgery or aesthetic treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries, pain, and financial losses.
At NJS Law, our experienced cosmetic negligence solicitors take the time to understand what you are going through. We provide clear, practical advice and are committed to helping you secure the answers, accountability, and compensation you deserve.
Cosmetic surgery and beauty treatments can be life changing, but they also carry risks. Before committing to any cosmetic procedure, it is essential that you are fully informed, understand your options, and feel confident in the practitioner providing your care.
Asking the right questions before cosmetic surgery can help you make a safer decision and reduce the risk of negligent treatment.
Experience matters. Ask how often the surgeon or therapist has carried out the specific procedure you are considering and how frequently they perform it. A practitioner with extensive experience is more likely to identify risks and manage complications effectively.
Always check the practitioner’s qualifications and professional registrations. Surgeons should be appropriately trained and, where relevant, registered with recognised medical or professional bodies. Never assume credentials – ask to see them.
You should know exactly where your procedure will be carried out. Whether it is a hospital, clinic, private facility, the location should be suitable for the type of treatment being performed.
Accreditation is an important indicator of safety standards. Ask whether the facility is properly regulated and inspected, and whether it meets required health and safety standards.
Before performing cosmetic surgery or treatment, the doctor or therapist should clearly explain:
You should be given this information in a way you can understand, allowing you to give informed consent.
If there are alternative procedures or non-surgical options available, these should be discussed with you before you commit to the recommended treatment. You should understand the pros and cons of each option.
You should never feel pressured into proceeding. You must be given sufficient time to consider the information provided, weigh up the risks, and decide whether to go ahead.
Doctors, plastic surgeons, beauty therapists, and other cosmetic practitioners have a legal duty of care to ensure your safety and wellbeing while you are in their care.
If a mistake is made during cosmetic surgery or aesthetic treatment and you suffer injury, pain, or financial loss as a result, you may be entitled to bring a cosmetic negligence claim for compensation.
