Breast Augmentation Claims

If your surgeon has performed the procedure carelessly, or done anything incorrectly it can result in you suffering injury or illness. This can include the surgeon failing to describe in detail and at length all that will take place during surgery, prior to you making a decision on whether to go ahead with the surgery. It can also include an error during surgery itself.

Once you have had breast surgery you will feel tightness in the chest, bruising, swelling and pain that will disappear after a short time. If you suffer any of the following symptoms however, you could be entitled to seek breast implant compensation:

• Leakages from the breast
• Thick scarring that is obvious to the eye
• Deflation of the breast
• Excessive swelling
• Excessive bleeding
• An infection post-op
• Persistent pain
• The formation of a blood clot in the deep veins
• The inability to breastfeed or to produce the same amount of breast milk as prior to the surgery
• The rippling of the implant
• Abnormality in the shape of your breasts
• Creases or folds along the implant itself
• Rupturing of the breast implants
• Capsular contracture (where the breast tissue becomes hard after scar tissue has shrunk)
• Poor pre-operative planning resulting in abnormal nipple position
