With a growth in the popularity of cosmetic surgery leading to more and more people undergoing procedures with private clinics and hospitals, it’s an enormous industry with thousands of satisfied customers. However, along with the growth in the number of procedures there has been a spike in the risks involved and an increase in the incidences of bad practice.

But what happens if your surgery goes wrong? Non-surgical cosmetic surgery is subject to very little regulation, so it’s essential you use a reputable aesthetic practitioner to minimise the chance of mistakes and injury as the consequences of a cosmetic procedure going wrong can be devastating, leading to physical, emotional and financial suffering.

There are various situations that could give you the right to make a compensation claim if you have had a cosmetic surgery that has gone wrong due to negligence including:

• Botched surgery
• Incorrect treatment
• Psychological damage
• Failing in duty of care
• Unsafe or unhygienic equipment
• Insufficient consent
