With recent news reports indicating that there has been a decline in the number of people undergoing certain cosmetic surgery procedures, we’ve found a continually growing number of people seeking help after suffering from cosmetic surgery negligence. With the subject of cosmetic surgery being in the news so prominently, there is a greater awareness of the risks and it’s believed that this is one reason why less people are reportedly going under the knife.
But our specialist lawyers who have obtained thousands of pounds for cosmetic surgery negligence victims are telling the tale of a subject that is still very popular amongst people in the UK.
The Royal College of Surgeons has recently spoken on the subject of cosmetic surgery again, highlighting the need for more information for patients and better safeguards for those who are wanting to undergo these procedures. With our extensive experience in advising thousands of people seeking advice about cosmetic surgery procedures they have undergone, we know too well just how under-regulated the industry has been for years.
But as many of the people we have helped can understand, the pressure people are under to look better is intense and is capable of driving people to take the risk and pay thousands of pounds for surgery or treatment. It’s a known fact that many people do not thoroughly research the credentials of their surgeons or the history of the clinic they choose, but even when they do, people are still at risk. The PIP breast implant scandal, of which we represent a large majority of people for, is a testament to this – many of them went to the top clinics and best surgeons in the country and were still fitted with substandard implants.
There is, alarmingly, the growing trend of people going abroad for cut price surgery. The legislation in the UK is nowhere near tight enough, and going abroad for cheaper treatment is a real risk to your health and your life.
But turning back to the pressure people feel to look better, which is something the magazines, TV, and the internet heavily exacerbates, is pushing people in to decisions that could change their life for the worse.
When this happens, we are here to help.
