Substantial compensation for botched nose job
If you have had a botched nose job and you are looking for experienced medical accident lawyers to handle a compensation claim on your behalf then call our free national helpline
A rhinoplasty procedure (which is the technical name for a ‘nose job’ in the cosmetic surgery sector) was carried out by well-known cosmetic surgeon at a reputable Harley Street clinic. Prior to the surgery the patient explained to the surgeon that she was unhappy with the appearance of the ‘dorsal hump’ in her nose and wanted this reduced so that her nose would look more in proportion.
Within her post-operative review, she raised her concerns about blood building up in her nose which was causing a swelling. The cosmetic surgeon reassured her and said that with time her nose would heal. However, she became increasingly concerned about fluid building up in her nose and therefore went back to the Harley Street clinic. This time she was told that a blood filled lesion had formned which the cosmetic surgeon ‘popped’ with a needle.
She also raised concerns about her septum, which she felt was misaligned, and her nostrils, which appeared uneven.
The cosmetic surgeon said she could have a further procedure, but she had lost trust in him and decided to get a second opinion. The second cosmetic surgeon confirmed she had a perforated septum, an irregular columella and an irregular dorsal hump; all of which had been caused or exacerbated by the original surgeon at the Harley Street clinic.
She decided to make a compensation claim for the botched nose job. Because of our experience in dealing with cosmetic surgery negligence she appointed us to deal with the case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We sent a formal ‘Letter of Claim’ to the cosmetic surgeon which resulted in an offer to settle the legal claim out of court. We did not think that the offer was enough, so with our client’s agreement the proposal was rejected. Further negotiations then took place and eventually our client accepted an increased offer of £32,000 in settlement of her botched nose job claim.

Maddy Lawrence
“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
Great firm!
“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”
Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far
”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Exceptional Service
“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”
Excellent solicitor
“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
