In 2015 it was recorded that 9,652 people had breast surgery in the UK. Breast surgery can be fairly routine and so thankfully avoidable injuries are rare. Women undergo this treatment for medical or cosmetic reasons. It can be reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy or a patient who is dissatisfied with the current size of her breasts.

Thankfully, the majority of breast surgery procedures are carried out to a high standard. However, mistakes are made that lead to Breast Augmentation Claims. If you feel you may have been the victim of medical negligence contact our solicitors today for a No Obligation Claim Assessment.

Breast surgery involves inserting an artificial implant under the breast tissue, or alternatively under the chest muscle behind the breast. It is a difficult procedure and without expert care negligence can result in Breast Augmentation Claims.

The breast implant is usually made up of an outer layer of silicone, and are usually filled with silicone gel or salt water. The implants usually last approximately 10 years. The surgeon should have an initial consultation with you. During this consultation the surgeon should discuss the size, shape and type of implants which are most suitable for you.

He or she should also discuss the procedure itself and the risk involved. Risks of breast surgery can include:

• Infection
• Swelling
• Pain
• Bruising
• Loss of sensation around the breast tissue

More serious risks can include capsular contracture where the scar tissue around the implant can shrink and place the implant under excessive pressure. This eventually causes it to deform.  There is also the risk of the implant rupturing. Once an implant ruptures it must be removed straight away.

It is essential that the surgeon discusses these risks with you before your surgery and that you be given the time to consider them before deciding to proceed to the surgery. It is the surgeon’s responsibility to inform you of all the risks of the breast surgery.

The failure to do so is a breach of their duty of care to you, and if this has caused you harm then you may be entitled to make Breast Augmentation Claims.
