Insurance for cosmetic surgery can be very difficult to obtain. This is because the risks of a claim are considered to be quite high. In the event that you need to bring a negligence claim against a Surgeon you may find that there are a number of Lawyers who would be willing to take your case on a " no win no fee" basis.
Many cosmetic surgery clinics provide a good level of aftercare with built in insurance in the event that you need to undergo further surgery. In cosmetic surgery a certain number of procedures need a second operation occasionally, these are known as " revision" operations. It does not have to mean that something has gone wrong, just that more work is required to deliver the results originally anticipated. Check with your Surgeon that these sort of events would be covered without further cost. The same applies if you need further treatment or surgery whilst in hospital, or you need to stay longer than first planned.
Ask your Plastic Surgeon or clinic for a list of their terms and conditions before booking so that you know what they are willing to cover for you, and what they are not.
