Negligent Cosmetic Surgery Case Studies
Over the last decade attitudes towards cosmetic surgery has dramatically changed. Cosmetic surgery is now regarded as a lifestyle choice and more people are undergoing surgery. Unfortunately compensation claims for cosmetic treament has increased due to complications during surgery. Here is just one example of claim we settled for cosmetic surgery negligence.
Cosmetic surgery claim | £ six figure settlement
Our client Denise Hendry was desperately ill after negligently performed liposuction
We acted for Denise Hendry, wife of the former Manchester City and Blackburn footballer and Scotland captain Colin Hendry, against Mr Gustaf Aniansson, who performed her liposuction operation.
During the course of surgery Mr Aniansson perforated the bowel and small colon on no fewer than nine separate occasions and as a result Mrs Hendry became desperately ill having to receive extensive treatment in the intensive care unit of Royal Preston Hospital.
We were able to obtain a significant sum in compensation for Denise, believed to be the highest award ever in a cosmetic surgery case in this country.
In addition, Denise was one of a considerable number of women who lodged formal complaints to the General Medical Council alleging that cosmetic surgery undertaken by Mr Aniansson had been performed negligently. After seeing the evidence against him Mr Aniansson voluntarily asked to be removed from the medical register which means that he is no longer able to practice as a surgeon in the UK. A six figure settlement was agreed.
