Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) claims

A tummy tuck – or abdominoplasty – is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures in the world, and more and more people are undergoing the work as the treatments become increasingly affordable. The vast majority of patients are hugely satisfied with the results of tummy tucks but when substandard surgeons are at work, the consequences for the patient can be dire. The operation itself involves excess fat or skin is removed from the abdomen after weight has been lost, resulting in a tight, flat stomach and the removal of stretch marks. Many tummy tuck patients do opt for the surgery after weight loss, but new mothers and stomach surgery patients are also likely recipients of the procedure.

Fighting Clinical Negligence

There are three types of tummy tuck surgery – standard, mini and extended. Whilst most surgeons adhere to the highest possible standards, sadly this is not true of everyone, and many substandard doctors have been found cashing in on the market. Whilst some initial discomfort is to be expected, if the pain continues for much longer than you were told it would you may be entitled to compensation. Some patients may be unhappy with the appearance of their stomachs after work, or may simply feel that the results leave a lot to be desired. At Blackwater Law, we can help you to fight for the compensation that you deserve if your tummy tuck was performed by a negligent doctor.
