Cosmetic surgery is booming in Britain
Cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more popular in the UK, with increasing numbers of women and men opting to improve their looks by going under the surgeon's knife.
Last year alone an estimated 90,000 people underwent a cosmetic operation - a staggering 30 per cent rise on the previous 12 months.
But while most patients are satisfied with their surgery, more and more are finding that not all operations go to plan. They are left counting not only the financial cost of disappointing results, but also the emotional and physical cost of painful injuries, prolonged suffering and trauma when their cosmetic surgery goes wrong.
At TJL Solicitors, we understand that no amount of money could possibly compensate for the suffering caused by poor cosmetic surgery.
However, our experts believe they can help patients recover both their physical well being and self esteem, by securing the funds they need for corrective surgery and helping them get their lives back on track.
We also hope that by bringing these cases to court we can raise awareness among other patients similarly affected to help improve medical standards and treatment.

Rise in cosmetic surgery
Recent surveys have revealed that cosmetic surgery is booming among both women and men in Britain .
According to official figures from the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) almost 29,000 people underwent a cosmetic operation last year.
However, BAAPS members only represent a minority of the private market and experts believe that as many as three times that amount went under the surgeon's knife in the last 12 months alone.
Helping you seek justice
Being a patient in the care of a doctor is one of the only times in our lives that we place our welfare entirely in the hands of another individual.
Over the past decade complaints and claims resulting from negligent cosmetic surgery have increased. According to the Medical Defence Union - Britain 's biggest provider of indemnity and insurance to doctors - more than £8.5million in compensation has been paid out to dissatisfied patients since 1996. However, the MDU represent just a fraction of the insurance market and the number of people dissatisfied with their cosmetic surgery who have won damages is likely to be at least double or even triple that amount.
Getting you back on your feet
At TJL Solicitors, we understand that problems resulting from negligent cosmetic surgery can be very distressing and traumatic. It can damage, not only a patient's physical well being, but also their mental health and self esteem.
Our specialists are dedicated to helping victims of negligent cosmetic surgery, who through no fault of their own have been injured physically, or have suffered emotional or mental scars, at the hands of professionals we trust with our lives.
We understand that recovering money can never properly compensate our clients for the grave harm they have suffered but our experts believe they can help patients recover both their physical well being and self esteem, by securing the funds they need for corrective surgery and helping them get their lives back on track.
We also hope that by bringing these cases to court we can raise awareness among other patients similarly affected to help improve medical standards and treatment.
Time is on your side
At TJL Solicitors, we understand that recovering from a cosmetic surgery operation which has gone wrong can take a long time, but don't worry it may not be too late to seek amends.
Anyone who has been injured, traumatised or feels that they have been let down by negligent or mis-sold cosmetic surgery has up to three years from the date of the operation, or from when they realise there is a problem with their surgery, to launch a claim.
We handle cases from both women and men and should be able to help you if you've had your surgery in Britain or, in some cases, at a clinic abroad in another European country.
It won't cost you a penny
At TJL Solicitors, we realise that anyone injured or hurt because of negligent cosmetic surgery has suffered enough pain and hurt already.
We understand that no amount of money can possibly compensate if you've suffered because of negligent cosmetic surgery.
However, we can help you seek amends by making sure you secure the funds for any corrective surgery you may require.
Our team of friendly experts will take the stress out of making a claim by taking on your case free of charge.
We work on a no fee, win or lose basis which means we will never ask you for any money. If you win your case you will receive 100 per cent of the compensation and we will recover our legal costs from the other party.
Even if you lose your claim we will cover the cost, which means you'll never be out of pocket.*
