What Is Cosmetic Negligence?

Cosmetic negligence occurs when a surgeon, doctor, beautician, or therapist fails in their duty of care, leading to physical or emotional harm. This can result from botched procedures, lack of informed consent, or post-operative complications caused by medical errors.

Cosmetic procedures should be safe, well-explained, and carried out to the highest professional standards. When they’re not, and your health or appearance suffers as a result, you may be eligible to file a cosmetic surgery compensation claim.

Your Right to Informed Consent

Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, your practitioner must:
