Cosmetic Surgery Claims

Cosmetic surgery is a growing area of medicine and can sometimes result in problems for the patient. This type of surgery (often carried out by a plastic surgeon) might involve procedures such as: –

• breast implants/augmentation;
• Botox;
• hair or scar removal;
• plastic surgery;
• surgery to all parts of the body including facial such as nose and ears.

Cosmetic surgery mistakes can have both a psychological and physical effect on a patient depending on their age, gender and the permanency of the injury. From our experience, cosmetic surgery injuries are very personal to the individual.

To prove a case of medical negligence against a plastic surgeon, an expert report is required to prove that the healthcare professional breached the duty of care owed to you. That expert must state that the doctor was negligent in the way they treated you, and that the stated injury has arisen as a direct consequence of that negligence. Often, patients don’t know what to do when this situation occurs to them. We at Callanan Murphy Solicitors have many years’ experience in the area of medical negligence claims in Ireland and have dedicated Solicitors who practice in the area.
