For people that have taken the major decision to undergo surgery to then have to face an unsuccessful result can be hugely upsetting. For many they have put aside money to pay for the procedure and spent many weeks and months thinking about whether surgery is the right decision for them.

From botched nose jobs and face lifts, to bad breast enlargements and dodgy liposuction, unfortunately the majority of surgeries can go wrong if not carried out correctly. This is why it is massively important for anyone looking to having Cosmetic Surgery to make sure they thoroughly research potential surgeons, understand the surgery and its associated risks, ask lots of questions and most of all only go ahead when they are 100% happy.

A London based PR agency is looking for people who have gone through the unfortunate experience of surgery going wrong, and in particular people who have seen bad results from Smart Lipo. If you have had any form of surgery that has produced results that it shouldn’t have then please get in touch. The PR agency is looking for a case study that would be willing to undergo corrective surgery with the surgeon they represent and agree to them placing the story in the media

Before you decide to go ahead with your complaint, think back through the entire process, from initial consultation through to the surgery itself and the aftercare.

• Did you have a thorough meeting with your surgeon before the surgery was scheduled, and did he answer all of your questions?
• Were the risks, side effects and complications of surgery explained clearly to you before surgery?
• Were you told what the surgeon aimed to achieve with the operation?
• Did you follow all the instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon and the clinic?

Contacting the Clinic
If you are not happy with the results of your cosmetic surgery procedure, your first port of call should be the clinic or hospital itself. If you have not yet fully healed from your operation yet, it is possible that the clinic may be able to allay some of your fears and concerns and any problems you may have may disappear once healing is complete. If you have fully healed and you still have a complaint, the clinic may consider giving you further surgery to correct the issue, depending on what your problem(s) are.

Contacting the Healthcare Commission
If you are not happy with the way your complaint has been dealt with, the next step is to look to the country’s healthcare commission. Most countries have some form of standards that surgeons and clinics must adhere to. The place you complain to may be depend on the person you wish to make a complaint about, for example dentists, nurses and doctors may all have different complaint contacts. Unfortunately, the complaints procedure may be difficult if you have had your surgery done overseas which is why it is vitally important that if you are a medical tourist, you take extra-special care when choosing your cosmetic surgeon and clinic.

Taking Legal Action
Depending on the severity of your complaint, you may want to consider taking legal action either against the clinic or the cosmetic surgeon. Legal action should not be taken lightly and you should only take legal action if you feel that clinical negligence has taken place – that it, there has been severe incompetence or disregard for your health by the clinic, surgeon, nurses, or any other persons employed by the clinic.

If you choose to pursue legal action, it is wise to find a specialist clinical negligence solicitor as they should have good, in-depth knowledge of the procedures involved.
