Your Path to Recovery, Justice, and Compensation
If cosmetic surgery has caused unexpected harm and affected your wellbeing, we can help you understand whether negligent care may have been involved and pursue the answers and compensation you need to move forward.
When a Cosmetic Procedure
Doesn't Go to Plan
You made the decision to invest in yourself—whether it was to feel more confident, address a concern, or simply enhance your appearance. But instead of the results you were promised, you’re now facing complications, ongoing pain or the need for corrective treatment.
It’s not just about
the physical outcome
The emotional toll of feeling let down, the financial strain of additional procedures and the uncertainty of whether you were given the right care in the first place—it all adds up.
You shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone. If something went wrong because of negligent care, substandard treatment or a failure to properly inform you of the risks, you have the right to seek answers and fair compensation.

Featured Case Studies
While every claim is personal and circumstances vary,
these results show how we work to secure meaningful, fair outcomes for our clients.
Breast Implant Complications from Unqualified Surgeon
Our client underwent breast augmentation by a 'cosmetic surgeon' who lacked specialist plastic surgery qualifications. Severe complications including implant rupture, infection, and capsular contracture required multiple revision surgeries.
Outcome
$320,000 settlement covering all corrective procedures
Surgical Error Causes Permanent Disability
A routine spinal surgery left our client with permanent nerve damage affecting mobility. Through expert evidence, we proved the surgeon's technique fell below standard, securing compensation for ongoing care and loss of earning capacity.
Outcome
$195,000 compensation for reconstructive treatment and psychological harm

Frequently
Asked Questions
Can I claim if I signed a consent form?
Yes, signing a consent form doesn't prevent you from claiming if the procedure was performed negligently or if you weren't properly informed of the risks. The consent process itself can be part of the negligence if risks weren't adequately explained.
What can be claimed for cosmetic surgery negligence?
Financial compensation can be claimed for pain and suffering, past and future treatment expenses including corrective procedures, past and future wage losses, past and future domestic assistance, along with legal costs and disbursements.
How do I prove the proceduralist was negligent?
You need to prove the treatment departed from the appropriate standard of care expected in the circumstances. This can include failure to explain risks, poor infection control, faulty equipment, surgical error, poor implant selection, or inadequate aftercare. We engage independent experts to assess your case.
Are there time limits for cosmetic surgery claims?
Yes, time limits apply to personal injury claims. You should seek legal advice promptly if you've suffered injuries from a cosmetic procedure to ensure you can access all the compensation you're entitled to claim.
What if my surgeon says complications are 'normal'?
While all surgery carries risks, complications caused by substandard surgical technique, poor judgment, or inadequate care may constitute negligence. We'll have independent experts review your case to determine if the standard of care was breached.
