The firm specialises in medical negligence and handles multiple cases relating to botched cosmetic surgery.
A representative said: “We fully understand the desire and reasons for many people choosing surgery.
“It could be simply to improve their looks or to help their self-confidence, there can be no doubt that for many, it is a decision they never regret.
“However, all too often we represent clients who are badly let down by the people who carry out their surgery.
“Be it a poor standard of dental or cosmetic surgery which has gone wrong, negligent treatment leaves patients suffering long-term, both financially and emotionally.
“Any form of cosmetic surgery or dental procedures should be very carefully considered and researched.”
