Breast uplift surgery can offer many women
an opportunity to reclaim their body confidence following the effects that
factors such as childbirth, age and significant weight loss can have on their
bodies. Breast uplift surgery can increase a woman’s self-confidence and
self-esteem as well as enabling them to feel more feminine and attractive.
Risks
Of Breast Uplift Surgery
As with all invasive surgery there are considerable
risks involved with breast uplift surgery. These risks may include
infection, scarring or thrombosis. There is also the risk of long term negative
effects due to surgical malpractice including asymmetric breasts or nipples and
loss of feeling in the breasts or nipples. If you have undergone a breast
uplift surgical procedure and your surgeon was negligent in their treatment,
you may be able to make a compensation claim which will recompense you for any
pain, suffering or inconvenience you have experienced, as well as covering the
costs of any additional medical treatment, rehabilitation, counselling and loss
of earnings.
Can
I Make A Breast Uplift Compensation Claim?
Your surgeon has a legal obligation to
inform you of potential issues and complications that could occur prior to the
surgery, and you have to be confident that you are giving fully informed
consent. If this does not happen and you then experience problems after the
surgery you may have a case. Additionally issues such as extensive scarring,
infections and thrombosis amongst other complications can cause immense
physical pain and inconvenience as well as psychological stress and upset, all
of which can significantly affect day to day life. These consequences do
constitute personal injury and providing you have the evidence needed to prove
this in court you will have a strong case for compensation with the help of cosmetic surgery solicitors.
How
Do I Make A Claim?
If you wish to make a
breast uplift compensation claim following a personal injury caused by surgical
negligence it is advisory to consult the advice of a specialist personal injury
lawyer. Although some personal injury cases can be relatively straightforward
and handled by the victim alone, when surgical or medical malpractice is
involved there can be complex intricacies involved in the case which a personal
injury lawyer can help you to navigate. They will also be able to give you
access to all other professional advice you may need, such as an independent
medical professional who can review your case and give you the evidence you
need to take to court. Your chosen legal representative will likely accept
your case on a no win, no fee basis if they believe your case is likely to
win in court, so you do not have the additional worry of substantial legal
fees. In most cases they will also offer you a cash advance of up to £1,500
when they accept your case. You will be given full control over when this is
paid and how much is paid up to the cap. This can be a lifeline for many
victims, allowing them to secure the financial security they need whilst
fighting for the compensation they deserve.
