What is a cosmetic surgery claim?

A cosmetic surgery claim in Australia is a type of medical malpractice claim that is brought by a patient who has suffered harm as a result of a cosmetic surgery procedure. The claim is made against the surgeon or other medical professional who performed the surgery and seeks compensation for the harm suffered. To establish a claim for surgical negligence, the patient must prove that the surgeon owed them a duty of care, that this duty was breached, and that the breach caused harm to the patient.

 

Types of Cosmetic Surgery Negligence claims

There are several types of cosmetic surgery negligence claims in Australia, including but not limited to:

Incorrect technique: This type of claim arises when a surgeon performs a cosmetic procedure using an incorrect or improper technique, resulting in harm to the patient.

Failure to obtain informed consent: This type of claim arises when a surgeon fails to properly explain the risks and benefits of a cosmetic procedure to the patient, and the patient suffers harm as a result.

Neglect of post-operative care: This type of claim arises when a surgeon fails to properly monitor the patient’s recovery or provide adequate post-operative care, leading to further harm or complications.

Complications from anaesthesia: This type of claim arises when the administration of anaesthesia during a cosmetic procedure leads to harm or injury to the patient.

Scarring or disfigurement: This type of claim arises when a cosmetic procedure results in scarring or disfigurement that is unacceptable to the patient.

Frequently asked questions on Cosmetic Surgical claims

What can I claim in a cosmetic surgery case?

In a medical malpractice case, you need to show that the surgeon failed to meet the standard of care and that this failure has caused your injuries. Cosmetic surgery cases are complex, so our legal experts are on hand to fight for what you deserve. Claim types include:

Breach of contract claims. These may arise if the surgeon fails to fulfil their obligations under their agreement with you, such as performing the agreed-upon procedure or achieving a certain result.

Product liability claims. These may arise if you were injured as a result of a defect in a device or product used during the surgery, such as a faulty breast implant.
