The market for cosmetic surgery has increased significantly in Ireland over the last few years; what was once an area of medical negligence reserved for celebrities or wealthy persons has recently become more accessible, affordable, and, as a result, more prevalent in Irish society. With this growth of the market in Ireland, we have also seen a rise in the number of medical practitioners claiming to be specialist cosmetic surgeons – quite often, though, this is not the case. There have been a plethora of new clinics in Ireland offering cosmetic surgery, with most people locating these providers online, where low prices are used to entice potential customers.
Ireland’s lack of adequate industry regulation has not helped matters in this regard. In response to the ongoing concerns about the safety and quality of cosmetic surgery procedures in Ireland, the Irish Medical Organisation issued a guidance paper entitled ‘Recommendations for patients considering surgical cosmetic procedures’ in 2010. This document is a good place to start for anyone considering cosmetic surgery in Ireland. We advise anyone considering the same to read it by clicking on the hyperlinked text. In addition to reading that, the Irish Medical Council recommends that prospective patients consult a registered plastic surgeon. To do this, you can verify a doctor’s qualifications and check if a doctor is on the specialist division of the medical register by using the Medical Council’s ‘Search for a Registered Doctor’ facility, where you can search by name and registration number.
It should be remembered that even relatively ‘small’ procedures, which invasive techniques may not conduct, can nevertheless cause pain, discomfort and/or serious health problems if they are not carried out correctly. ‘Fast’ cosmetic treatments available, such as botox injections, dermal fillers, and laser treatment, are sometimes carried out by establishments selling these procedures for what are relatively low rated. Still, the reality is that they are not monitored, regulated, or controlled and immense caution should be exercised.
It is advisable for you to speak to an experienced team of Cosmetic Surgery Error Solicitors as soon as possible if you believe that you were not provided with an adequate or appropriate level of medical care, which resulted in you sustaining an injury or illness.
After the consultation with your Cosmetic Surgery Error Solicitor, he/she will request access to your medical records and engage an independent medical expert to assess your records. The purpose of engaging an independent expert is to establish whether there was any negligence on the medical professional’s part.
Where the independent medical expert is of the professional opinion that medical negligence did occur, as you instructed, your solicitor will begin issuing legal proceedings in Court against the medical professional and/or hospital.
The legal time limit to make a cosmetic surgery error claim is two years from the date of injury or date of knowledge that the injury or illness resulted from cosmetic surgery error. For children/minors, the time limit expires two years after their 18th birthday. You can contact a solicitor to talk about your case and inform you about the statute of limitations applicable to your case.
Any injury suffered during a medical procedure, whether it is physical or psychological, may have long-term effects on the victim and their families. Our cosmetic surgery error solicitors have assisted many clients in recovering maximum damages, and we believe in putting the needs of our clients first.
