When cosmetic surgery goes wrong it may be possible for a no win no fee solicitor to help you get compensation for medical negligence especially if the risks have not been explained properly to you, or if the practitioner has misrepresented their qualifications regarding ability to perform the procedure.
However, not all cosmetic procedures involve surgery and as the plump, cherubic faces of ageing celebrities are plastered all over the papers, it is quite possible to believe that their ages are real but not so plausible that their faces are.
Many maintain they have definitely not had plastic surgery, and this is possibly true as it is no longer necessary to go "under the knife" to achieve beautifully smooth skin; the advent of "Botox" and dermal fillers has meant that an afternoon in a clinic and a day or two out of the public gaze will leave skin plumped and rejuvenated, albeit a touch scary if you happen to have too much put in.
Also, as many modern treatments are not permanent, the effects are likely to wear away after a period of months and if it didn't look quite right the first time, the results can be altered with the next set of injections.
Leah Hardy discussed the plethora of treatments on the market for A-listers in an April 2009 article in The Daily Mail.
She wrote, "Non-surgical filler-based treatments such as the Y-lift - invented by New York surgeon Yann Tronkel and offered in London by Dr Jules Nabet - and the Dream Lift, developed by celebrity darling Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh, aim to create the illusion of youth by giving women the high, rounded cheeks of a baby.
And delighted customers soon realise that when their cheeks are filled, slack skin around the jaw is automatically lifted and nose-to-mouth lines vanish."
However, when women who can't perhaps afford the prices of these exclusive treatments, but who still wish to emulate their style icons' ageless glamour, are tempted by cheaper therapies from less reputable practitioners, this may spell the sort of trouble that only a no win, no fee solicitor can help with.
One visit to a cosmetic surgery blog or forum will quickly convey the message that these treatments are sometimes very far from the miracle beauty aid they purport to be and can actually be the stuff of nightmares.
In November 2008 The Independent published an article concerning a particular brand of dermal filler that had been injected into UK patients and caused numerous cases of facial disfigurement.
The authors wrote, "Several patients are planning legal action against clinics in the UK that carried out the procedure, which involves injecting the water-based gel under the skin, saying they have been disfigured."
