Each and every surgery that takes place
across the UK has its own risks and hazards attached. These vary dramatically
depending on the type
and level of surgery, as well as the importance of the area being operated
on. Chin and cheek implant surgery takes place on one of the most delicate and
noticeable areas on the body, and as such it can lead to serious psychological
problems if it is not treated with the care and attention it deserves.
Types
of Chin and Cheek Implant Claim
There are many different types of chin and
cheek implant injury that can take place during or after surgery, some of which
can cause severe or even permanent pain and suffering to the victims. These
include:
·
Pain caused by sub-dermal
bleeding
·
Infection leasing to scarring
·
Nerve damage to the face
·
Loss of facial muscle control
·
Psychological damage
Why
Should I Claim Compensation?
There are many reasons why it is beneficial
to claim compensation following a chin and cheek injury, but the initial reason
many pursue a claim is to gain financial compensation for injuries that were
not their fault. This can help to reduce the suffering of the individual and
help relieve the stress suffered before the accountable parties are held
responsible.
Another benefit of claiming compensation is
that it can be used to cover any additional financial costs associated with the
injury. This could include additional private medical costs that have been
faced following the injury to aid recovery, any travel costs faced as victims
travel to and from medical facilities, and any case costs required for
long-term injury.
Finally, compensation can also be used to
cover any loss of income faced in the short term and long term by those
injured. Most employers provide sick pay but this is only provided for a
certain amount of time before it is reduce or removed altogether. For those
suffering from injuries that extend beyond this time, or those suffering long
term injuries that see them lose their job, financial compensation can be the
difference before financial
stability and severe debt.
Making
a Claim
In order to make a claim, victims of
injuries must contact your cosmetic surgery solicitors
and build a claim. This involves providing evidence that the medical
practitioners in charge of the chin and cheek treatment had a duty of care over
the victim at the time of the injury. This is often the easiest aspect of the
case to prove with regards to medical negligence cases.
Victims must also prove that this duty of
care was breached by the medical team at some point during the treatment. This
could be before the surgery took place if they have failed to provide adequate
information about the risks involved. It could also be during or after the
treatment if the medical team have failed to provide the correct level of care.
