Tummy Tuck Claims

A tummy tuck – also known as abdominoplasty – is a cosmetic operation to remove excess fat and skin with a view to firming up and re-shaping the abdomen. It is a common procedure with women who have been left with excess skin and fat through rapid weight loss, or after pregnancy.

Like any surgical procedure, a tummy tuck is usually relatively safe, but there are risks involved in the operation. These should be fully explained to you before you agree to any procedure, and if any surgical errors occur you might be entitled to seek financial compensation for your subsequent discomfort, emotional strain and financial losses.

How tummy tuck negligence can affect you

There are a number of problems that can occur from tummy tuck negligence and these can include:

• Infection
• Blood clots in the lungs
• Scarring
• Skin loss or necrosis
• Numbness or nerve damage
• Skin discolouration or bleeding under the skin

Following any type of surgery, it is expected that you will feel some form of short-term discomfort, but it will soon become clear if you have suffered from a surgical error and your injuries might be more long-term. At this point you should act quickly to pursue a cosmetic surgery negligence claim. There are strict time limits for making a claim.
