If you, a family member, or someone you know has suffered as a result of substandard cosmetic surgery, it’s crucial to seek professional legal advice as quickly as possible.
The team at Slater Heelis draw on decades of experience handling cosmetic surgery negligence claims for a wide range of procedures.
We’re here to talk through all legal options available to you.
Once we confirm your best course of action, we can then focus on securing early interim payments and any corrective treatment that is required.
Our expert cosmetic surgery negligence solicitors understand the stress that comes with claims of this nature.
As with any surgery, complications can arise in relation to the risk of infection or anaesthesia, particularly if a general anaesthetic is required; however, psychological factors often play a bigger role in cosmetic treatment compared with non-elective surgery.

Restoring peace-of-mind
While we always seek maximum compensation for the people we represent, our main purpose is to restore their peace-of-mind. We aim to take the legal and financial stress away from our clients, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their physical and psychological recovery.
Despite the fact cosmetic procedures are now incredibly common – over 100,000 per year throughout England and Wales – there remains little regulation within the UK industry. It’s important to act quickly to ensure that any claim you may have can be validated and pursued.
It’s completely natural for clients to feel guilt, shame or helplessness when you suffer due to cosmetic surgery negligence. We’re here to help.
Our personal injury team have considerable experience in this area and have successfully pursued many different types of cosmetic surgery negligence claims. This includes: rhytidectomy (facelift surgery), rhinoplasty (nose surgery), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), hair replacement laser surgery, and breast implant surgery.
What our clients say about us…
“When I asked Slater Heelis to represent me in April last year, we discussed a small claim between £3–5,000. I would have been happy with that, but your professionalism came through. You fought on my behalf and won an outstanding case with a far better outcome than I initially hoped for. You went that extra mile and ran my marathon for me. Thank you!”
– Mrs. PH, Personal Injury Client
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is when medical care has been provided at a substandard level. This may be through misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment or surgical mistake and has caused harm, injury or death to a patient.
Can you sue a cosmetic surgeon?
Surgeons have a duty of care to their patients which means they are open to cosmetic surgery negligence claims, and therefore being sued.
Cosmetic surgeons must inform patients of any side effects, complications and any alternative procedures which may be better. They have a duty to perform procedures with care and skill and should provide all the pros and cons of a procedure so a patient is able to make a fully informed decision.
