Liposuction

Liposuction surgery is the second most common procedure performed by cosmetic surgeons in the UK. However, problems can occur, either through poor surgical technique, or where the surgery goes wrong.

Complaints following liposuction include: infection due to poor surgical technique and/or unhygienic surroundings, nerve damage, haematoma (blood collecting under the skin), scarring and damage to underlying tissue. If you were not warned about the possible risks of the surgery or anaesthetic, or sustained injury resulting from inadequate checks on pulse, heart rate or blood pressure, then you may be entitled to claim for compensation.
