Cosmetic Surgery Claims
At Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, our specialist medical negligence team has considerable experience in cosmetic surgery claims, where substandard care during elective aesthetic procedures—such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, or other plastic surgery—has resulted in poor outcomes, complications, or additional harm. Cosmetic surgery negligence can involve surgical errors like asymmetry, scarring, nerve damage, or incorrect placement; inadequate pre-operative assessment or failure to discuss realistic expectations and risks; lack of proper informed consent; complications from anaesthesia; infections; or negligent post-operative care leading to delayed healing, necrosis, or the need for corrective surgery. These failures often occur in private clinics or hospitals and can cause not only physical disfigurement or chronic pain but also significant psychological distress, loss of confidence, and financial burdens from revision procedures or lost earnings. If you have suffered due to preventable negligence in a cosmetic procedure in Ireland—leaving you with unsatisfactory results, worsened appearance, or serious health issues—we can help investigate the surgeon's or clinic's actions and pursue the compensation needed for corrective treatment, therapies, emotional support, and other losses.
Our firm appreciates the personal and sensitive nature of cosmetic surgery decisions: patients often undergo these procedures to enhance self-esteem or address specific concerns, and when negligence occurs, it can profoundly impact mental wellbeing and daily life. Senior Partner Damien Tansey SC and our dedicated solicitors provide empathetic, discreet guidance, understanding the emotional challenges involved while working determinedly to establish accountability.
We collaborate with leading independent medical experts, including plastic surgeons and specialists in aesthetic procedures, to review consent forms, surgical records, before-and-after photos, and clinical notes to determine whether the standard of care was breached and how the negligence caused or contributed to the harm. Many cosmetic surgery claims are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis, ensuring you can seek justice without upfront financial risk, especially when dealing with the costs of further treatment or recovery.
We offer free, confidential initial consultations at a convenient time and location anywhere across Ireland, from our Sligo and Dublin offices or elsewhere, with no obligation to proceed. Strict time limits apply under Irish law—typically two years from the date of knowledge of the negligence—so it is vital to contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve your claim.
Let Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, a leading Irish firm in medical negligence with a strong focus on surgical and consent-related failures, support you in holding providers accountable and securing the answers, corrective support, and financial compensation you deserve following negligence in cosmetic surgery.
