  • Poor results from cosmetic procedures, such as surgery, dermal fillers, Botox, liposuction, or skin treatments

Who Is Eligible to Make a Cosmetic Negligence Claim?

You may be eligible to make a cosmetic negligence claim if you’ve suffered pain, injury, or unsatisfactory results because a cosmetic or medical professional failed to provide an acceptable standard of care. This could include treatment from surgeons, dermatologists, dentists, or other cosmetic specialists, whether in an NHS setting, private clinic, or aesthetic practice.

You can also make a claim on behalf of:

  • A child or someone under 18

  • A loved one who has passed away due to negligent cosmetic treatment

  • Someone who lacks mental capacity to bring a claim themselves

To be successful, you’ll need to show that:

  • The cosmetic care you received fell below the expected professional standard, and

  • That negligence directly caused harm, pain, or worsened your condition or results

How Compensation Is Calculated in a Cosmetic Negligence Claim

Compensation in a cosmetic negligence claim is designed to cover both the physical and financial impact of poor or negligent cosmetic care. At NJS Law, our specialist solicitors carefully calculate each claim to ensure you receive the full amount you’re entitled to.

Typically, compensation includes:

  • General damages for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life caused by cosmetic negligence

  • Special damages for financial losses, such as treatment costs, travel expenses, lost income, and corrective procedures

  • Future care costs if your injury or poor cosmetic outcome requires long-term treatment, support, or revision procedures

The exact amount of compensation depends on the severity of the negligence, the nature of your injury or poor outcome, and the impact on your daily life. Our experienced team works closely with medical and cosmetic experts to accurately assess your claim and maximise your compensation.

With no win, no fee claims, you can pursue justice and compensation for your cosmetic negligence without worrying about upfront legal costs.

Common Questions About Cosmetic Negligence Claims

Starting a cosmetic negligence claim can feel daunting, and you’re likely to have questions about how the process works, what it costs, and how long it takes. To help, we’ve answered the most common questions our clients ask — from evidence to compensation amounts and court proceedings.

Am I eligible to make a cosmetic negligence claim?

You may be eligible if you have suffered physical harm, emotional distress, or financial loss due to negligent cosmetic treatment. Claims can also be made on behalf of children, someone who has passed away due to cosmetic negligence, or someone lacking mental capacity to bring a claim themselves.

How long do I have to make a cosmetic negligence claim?

Generally, claims must be started within three years of the date of the negligent treatment or from when you became aware of the injury. Special rules may apply for children or individuals with limited mental capacity.

What types of compensation can I claim?

Compensation can cover:

  • General damages for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life

  • Special damages for financial losses, such as treatment costs, travel expenses, lost income, and corrective procedures

  • Future care costs if your injury or poor cosmetic outcome requires long-term treatment or support

What evidence do I need to support my claim?

Evidence may include:

  • Medical or cosmetic treatment records

  • Photographs of the injury or poor results

  • Expert reports from independent cosmetic or medical professionals

  • Witness statements or testimonials

Can I claim cosmetic negligence if the treatment was private or NHS?

Yes. Compensation claims can be made whether the treatment was provided privately, through the NHS, or in a private aesthetic clinic.

How long does a cosmetic negligence claim take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and severity of the injury. Some claims may be resolved in a few months, while more complex cases could take longer.

Do I have to pay legal fees upfront?

No. Many cosmetic negligence claims are handled on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful.

Can I claim for poor results from cosmetic procedures?

Yes. Unsatisfactory outcomes from procedures such as surgery, dermal fillers, Botox, liposuction, or dental cosmetic treatments can form the basis of a claim if the care fell below the accepted standard.
