Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Expert Witnesses

Cosmetic plastic surgery involves surgical procedures undertaken to alter or enhance a person’s physical appearance. It can include procedures involving the face, breasts and body, such as rhinoplasty, breast surgery, abdominoplasty and liposuction.

Cases involving aesthetic procedures can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to patient assessment, informed consent, surgical planning, operative technique, complications, postoperative care and subsequent outcomes. The RCS professional standards specifically address areas including consent, communication, patient expectations and surgical risk.

Our plastic surgery expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, consent documentation, clinical photographs, operative records and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
