Abdominoplasty Compensation Claims
An abdominoplasty, often known as a tummy tuck, is a major surgical procedure. When it is carried out poorly, the impact can be painful, distressing and difficult to put right. You may be left questioning whether the result was unavoidable, whether you were properly advised, or whether your concerns after surgery should have been taken more seriously.
At PSR Solicitors, our medical negligence solicitors help people who have suffered avoidable harm after cosmetic surgery. You might be entitled to a claim for negligent abdominoplasty when the surgeon or clinic failed to provide the standard of care you were entitled to expect, and whether that failure caused you harm.
We understand that taking advice about cosmetic surgery negligence can feel personal. You may feel unsure about whether what happened was negligent, or whether you are entitled to question the care you received. Our role is to listen, assess the evidence and give you clear advice about whether you may be able to make a claim.
If you are worried that your tummy tuck surgery was carried out negligently, call PSR Solicitors on the number at the top of this page or complete the enquiry form on this page to speak with a specialist abdominoplasty claims solicitor.
I contacted PSR after hearing about their efficiency and expert knowledge. They charge a relatively small fee and made the process completely stress free.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
They were very helpful, better value, and dealt with my claim within 7 months. After a 4 and a half years issue with my previous solicitors.
Abdominoplasty surgery should be planned carefully and carried out with appropriate skill. Before the operation, your surgeon should assess whether the procedure is suitable for you and explain the risks, limitations and likely outcome in clear terms.
You may be able to claim for abdominoplasty negligence if:
Not every poor result is negligent. Surgery carries risks, even when performed carefully. However, where avoidable harm has been caused by substandard treatment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Many clients contact us because their recovery or final result does not feel right. Some are concerned that the outcome is not what they were led to expect. Others feel their concerns were dismissed when they asked for help after surgery.
These concerns should be looked at carefully. Some discomfort and visible change are expected after abdominoplasty surgery, but persistent problems may suggest that something was not handled properly. The key question is whether a reasonably competent surgeon or clinic would have acted differently, and whether that would have avoided or reduced the harm caused.
Consent is also important, as a signed form does not automatically mean that proper consent was given. You should have received balanced advice about the procedure, the risks involved and what could realistically be achieved. If the likely result was overstated, or the risks were not properly explained, you may not have been able to make a fully informed decision.
Aftercare can also be central to a claim. If you reported increasing pain, discomfort or concerns about your treatment, those concerns should have been taken seriously. A failure to assess or respond appropriately can make the effects of negligent surgery worse and may lead to further treatment being needed.
Because most abdominoplasty procedures are carried out privately, responsibility may not always be immediately clear. You may have spoken to one person before surgery, been operated on by another, and received aftercare from a separate team. We can review the paperwork and identify whether responsibility sits with the surgeon, clinic, hospital provider or another organisation involved in arranging the treatment.
We begin by listening to what happened and understanding how the outcome has affected you. This includes the advice you were given before surgery, the treatment you received and the way your concerns were handled afterwards.
We may then obtain medical records, consent documents, clinic correspondence and relevant photographs. Where appropriate, we can also seek an independent opinion from a medical expert with experience in plastic or cosmetic surgery.
This evidence helps establish whether the care fell below an acceptable standard and whether your injuries could have been avoided. If the evidence supports your claim, we will present the case clearly and guide you through each stage of the process.
PSR Solicitors advises clients on medical negligence claims involving private hospitals and cosmetic surgery providers, with a focus on clear, supportive advice and No Win No Fee options where suitable.
We understand that legal costs can be a concern, particularly if you have already paid privately for surgery and may now be facing further treatment costs. This should not prevent you from asking whether your treatment was negligent.
In suitable cases, PSR Solicitors can act on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not pay our legal fees. We will explain the funding options clearly from the outset, so you can decide whether to proceed with confidence.
Our No Win No Fee approach allows you to access specialist legal advice without the worry of upfront legal costs. It also means we will assess your case carefully before recommending that a claim is pursued.
Negligent cosmetic surgery can be difficult to talk about. Some people worry that they will be judged for choosing surgery. Others feel unsure whether their concerns are serious enough. At PSR Solicitors, you will be listened to with care and respect.

Frequently Asked Questions ABOUT ABDOMINOPLASTY CLAIMS
You cannot usually claim simply because you are unhappy with the result. However, you may have a claim if the poor outcome was caused by negligent treatment, poor advice or inadequate aftercare. We can review what happened and advise whether the standard of care should be investigated.
Yes. Signing a consent form does not automatically prevent a claim. Consent should involve a proper discussion about the procedure, the risks and the likely outcome. If you were not properly informed before surgery, this may be relevant to your claim.

Yes, there is generally a three-year time limit from the date you became aware that negligence occurred. However, this can vary depending on individual circumstances, especially in cases involving children or those lacking mental capacity, so it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
