Although this procedure does sound like something that only the rich and famous can have in Hollywood, it is becoming more increasingly popular with everyone who has always craved for a derriere like Kim Kardashian or Beyonce.
Unfortunately however, as with many other popular cosmetic surgeries there are things that can go wrong – not only inherent risks that you would usually associate with surgery but unfortunate things caused by other people’s negligence. Therefore, it is important to understand what you can do if you find yourself suffering at the hands of someone else’s negligence.
Some of the main injuries caused by this procedure include:
- Implant shifting
- Implant rupture
- Nerve damage
- Asymmetry
- Allergic reactions
It is important for you to ascertain whether the injury you are suffering from would be classed as an “inherent risk” or whether it would not have been caused had it not been for the negligence of the medical professional or support staff. For example; if the butt implants that you have been provided with are found to be defective (much the same type of thing that has occurred with the PIP breast implants recently!) and therefore they rupture and cause further injury (such as silicone in the natural buttock tissue) this may be a breach of your contract! After all, who contracts to receive faulty goods? You therefore should be entitled to claim compensation.
If you do feel that you require the assistance of a personal injury solicitor, it is imperative to do so as soon as possible so that all the relevant evidence (such as medical notes, contracts and photographs) are readily available and do not mysteriously go missing – (of course I would never suggest that this happens…)
