Botox compensation claims

Botox helps to cosmetically reduce wrinkles around areas such as the eyes or mouth, giving a more youthful look to the face. Botox can also be used in other areas of the body to treat more serious medical issues such as bladder muscle weakness or neck spasms. However, as Botox is generally seen as a cosmetic procedure, it is usually administered at a private practice rather than by the NHS.


While Botox is generally safe, sometimes accidents can happen due to medical negligence. If you believe that you have suffered due to such negligence, you may be able to make a Botox claim through First Personal Injury.

Types of Botox

Botox involves the injection of a botulinum toxin powder, which is diluted in saline, into neuromuscular tissue. The effects of botox are not usually visible straight away; it can take up to five days for the procedure to take effect. However, generally, the results of botox can be seen by 24-72 hours afterward. While cosmetic reasons are the most common reason as to why someone gets Botox, there are other reasons why someone might have the procedure. Some other reasons include:

  • Reduce an overactive bladder
  • To stop the appearance of crossed eyes
  • Stop excessive sweating
  • To help reduce limb spasms after a stroke
  • To reduce chronic migraines

There are a number of reasons as to why someone might have botox. As this procedure can target many different areas of the body, there are many different complications that could occur due to the poor technique or advice of the medical professional. If you believe that you have suffered a negative, lasting impact due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to make a Botox claim.


WHEN DOES BOTOX BECOME MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE?

If you believe poor medical advice or a botched surgery has caused you pain or injury, you may be entitled to take legal action. There is a wide range of injuries that might occur due to Botox, such as:

  • Rashes
  • Infection
  • Eye muscle weakness
  • Negatively impacted vision
  • Unusual bleeding
  • Muscle paralysis
  • Neck weakness
  • Excessive wheezing
  • Bladder muscle dysfunction


As with other types of medical negligence cases, with botox compensation claims, it is possible to claim compensation for your negligent treatment. However, you could also be entitled to claim for financial losses associated with your injury. For instance, you could recover loss of earnings, the cost of the original procedure or the cost of any further corrective surgeries. The potential amount of compensation will need to be assessed by a specialist cosmetic surgery solicitor.
