Compensation for Negligent Facelift Surgery

Facelift Surgery

The UK’s third most popular cosmetic procedure is a Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a Facelift. This procedure is not only popular with women, but there has also been a 23% increase in men receiving this procedure between 2008 and 2009.

The purpose of a facelift is to reverse the natural aging effects by tightening the skin and muscles in the face. This then works to reduce wrinkles and appear more youthful. A surgeon will cut away skin and excess fat from the face so they can then tighten the soft tissue. The client’s skin is the repositioned on the face and secured with sutures.

A face lift is a procedure which generally lasts for 3-4 hours and requires very skilful surgeons. A surgeon’s method of operation differs from another, so a client must do extensive research about their practitioner before undergoing surgery.

Increasing competition in the UK’s cosmetic surgery sector means there is a lack of regulation, and with this comes great room for error. Patients should be offered a medical consultation before their surgery to make sure they are fit for theatre.

An asymmetrical facial appearance, uneven skin texture and permanent scaring on the face are what constitute a botched cosmetic surgery. Any of these imperfections will need further surgery to rectify the mistakes, leading to further expenses and emotional and physical turmoil on your behalf. Not to mention the possibility of infection during and after surgery.

Each patient has the right to expect a professional surgical procedure when putting their trust in a medical professional. Surgeons many be considered negligent if they fail to achieve the aesthetic appeal that was intended, or if they have caused the client additional pain and expenses. Claiming compensation for negligent facelift surgery is the least you deserve after a botched cosmetic surgery procedure.

  2. It’s surprising that men are now also into cosmetic surgery, like facelift. Well, the facelift procedure designed for men has also similar effects that are enjoyed by women. The usual result of a successful facelift can actually make men feel younger and more handsome. And not surprisingly can boost their confidence and have positive effect in their attitude.

  3. @Guy: Like women, of course, we also deserve to experience such level of improvements. Haha! I’m open to the idea of cosmetic treatment and procedures for men! :D I think there’s nothing wrong about it. We all want to feel and look good, so if there’s a way for us to achieve it, why not? If I get old, I’d really ask my daughter to find a reliable cosmetic clinic for me! :D

  4. As a matter of fact, male Hollywood celebrities are very familiar with such a procedure. Men are also entitled to beauty enhancements every now and then, especially for those whose looks are their money-makers. Well, a facelift is not all for aesthetics. It is also a restorative procedure for certain health conditions.
