Claims arising from face lift surgery are, sadly, common. We have advised on a number of cases in this area.

A young woman, who was self-conscious of her breast asymmetry and their size relative to her stature, sought surgical advice to lift her breasts and improve her appearance and confidence.

In this case, a woman elected to undergo surgery to reduce her cup size, but this resulted in significant damage to her nipples because of the procedure and technique the surgeon adopted.

Our client underwent rhinoplasty under the care of an Austrian plastic surgeon through Surgicare in the UK. The surgery was unsatisfactory, both aesthetically and as our client experienced problems with sensation.

Our client suffered an ankle fracture that required surgical repair, but during which it was not recognised that he demonstrated early signs of infection.

Knee replacement surgery has developed significantly and become much more widespread in recent years, but requires highly specialised surgical expertise.
