Undergoing cosmetic surgery is an exciting and potentially life changing decision. But cosmetic negligence can have devastating results on a patient’s life, as a result of cosmetic injury, a cosmetic error or a cosmetic mistake. All medical and surgical procedures carry an element of risk, including cosmetic surgery – from Botox and fillers to facelifts, tummy tucks and liposuction, every procedure has a risk. It is a clinician’s duty to advise each patient of any potential cosmetic surgery risk, taking into account their medical history and what they expect to achieve from the procedure. However, cosmetic negligence leading to cosmetic mistakes or cosmetic injuries does occur, potentially causing disfigurement, pain and depression.

Cosmetic Surgery Problems & Complaints

Lack of information and advice on cosmetic surgery procedures can lead to cosmetic negligence, especially if a cosmetic practitioner has insufficient training or experience. The outcome may be clinically or cosmetically poor and wounds that fail to heal properly, nerve damage, infections, scarring from chemical or laser peels and pain and depression after a cosmetic injury, cosmetic mistake or cosmetic error may all require a patient to make a cosmetic negligence claim. In patients with underlying health issues such as obesity, heart problems and diabetes, anaesthetic may also cause problems, some of which can be fatal, requiring families to make a cosmetic negligence claim if the patient was not fully advised of the risks.
