TUMMY TUCK COMPENSATION CLAIMS
If you have experienced issues following your abdominoplasty surgery (commonly known as a tummy tuck) and think that the problems you faced were the fault of a negligent surgeon or clinic, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

HOW CAN TUMMY TUCKS GO WRONG?
While most abdominoplasty surgeries are carried out successfully and patients are happy with their results, there inevitably there are times when tummy tucks go wrong.
There are a wide range of physical issues that a negligent tummy tuck surgery can cause. We have successfully helped patients claim compensation after experiencing the below problems:
- Excessive scarring
- Incorrect positioning or loss of belly button
- Nerve damage
- Swelling that does not subside for months
SIGNS OF NEGLIGENCE
After undergoing a tummy tuck, patients should allow a recovery period of three to four weeks before deciding whether to make a claim for compensation.
Abdominoplasty is a major operation so some pain, swelling and discomfort is to be expected following surgery. However, if symptoms persist following this recovery period, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
Some common signs of negligence are:
- Skin contour deformity due to insufficient removal of excess tissue
- Puckering of the skin around the scar line
- Persistent pain in the abdominal area
- Seroma - fluid collecting around the wound

Regulations within the cosmetic surgery industry are very inconsistent, so it can be hard to understand your legal position if you have experienced negligence from a surgeon or clinic. But Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors can support you in your claim for compensation following a botched abdominoplasty.
