What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injections that are used to add volume to certain areas, such as the lips, alleviate wrinkles, and reduce the signs of ageing. They work by injecting a substance beneath the skin to create a more youthful and fuller appearance.
Collagen dermal fillers last three to four months, hyaluronic acid ones last four to six months, calcium hydroxyapatite ones can last up to 18 months, and polylactic acid ones, after a series of treatments, can last up to two years.
These fillers are often used to reduce laugh lines, add shape and volume to the lips, and restore lost collagen under the eyes. They are also used to increase volume in the cheeks, hands, and even in the soles of the feet for extra cushioning. Fillers can also smooth out wrinkles or creases in the earlobes, often caused by ageing skin or heavy earrings.
While most treatments go smoothly, sometimes dermal filler injections gone wrong, leading to injuries. If you have encountered complications, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm that has resulted from a filler treatment.
Who Can Make A Claim For Dermal Filler Injuries?
If you have been injured as a result of dermal filler treatment, you may be able to make a claim. To do so, you must demonstrate that the practitioner who performed the dermal filler was negligent in some capacity. This could include malpractice, failing to inform you of side effects, using unsanitary practices, or failing to thoroughly check your medical history.
For example, if you had a lip filler gone wrong UK, and the treatment was done poorly or improperly, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm done.
Common Types of Cosmetic Negligence Involving Dermal Fillers
There are several ways negligence can happen when it comes to dermal filler treatments. The most common problems are procedural errors and poor advice.
Procedural errors can include using too much filler, which may need to be removed but can be difficult and painful. Sometimes filler is injected into the wrong area, resulting in bumps or lumps beneath the skin.
Poor advice is another common example of negligence. Before starting treatment, you should have a detailed consultation in which the procedure, risks, and your medical history are discussed. If this consultation does not happen, or if you were not adequately informed about potential side effects, you may be entitled to compensation for any problems that arise as a result of the dermal filler treatment.
You may also have a claim if wrong or faulty equipment was used or the procedure was carried out in unsanitary conditions.
If you believe you have been a victim of negligence, our panel of cosmetic surgery solicitors are here to offer a free review of your case and guide you through the legal process.
What Is the Value of Your Dermal Filler Claim?
If you’ve been injured from a dermal filler treatment, you might be wondering how much compensation you could receive. The good news is, you could be entitled to two main types of compensation: general damages and special damages.
General damages cover the pain and suffering caused by your injuries. This isn’t just about physical discomfort – it can also include the emotional toll, like anxiety about how you look after the treatment.
Special damages are based on how much money your injury cost you. This includes any wages you lost because you had to miss work and any other costs, like medical bills or travel costs for treatment.
To make sure your dermal filler claim is as strong as it can be, your lawyer may set up an independent medical assessment to find out how bad your injuries really are. Our panel of Personal injury Scotland solicitors are here to help you through the process and make sure you get the money you deserve if you need it.
Dermal Filler Injury Compensation – Example Payouts Explained
If you’ve suffered an injury from dermal filler treatment, you might be wondering what kind of compensation you could receive. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injury, with most claims involving facial injuries or emotional harm.
For relatively minor facial injuries, such as small scars, compensation can range from £2,000 to £4,000. If there are more noticeable scars, the compensation might increase to between £4,800 and £16,800. These figures give you a rough idea, but keep in mind that each case is unique, and your compensation might vary.
In addition to physical injuries, dermal filler claims can also include psychiatric harm. For those who experience severe anxiety or emotional distress, compensation could range from £1,800 to £7,100. If the psychological effects are more serious, affecting daily life, relationships, or work, the compensation can go up to £23,300. In cases where the emotional impact is extremely severe, compensation can reach up to £141,200.
Once you work with a solicitor, they’ll assess your case and provide a more personalised estimate based on your medical report and the impact of your injury.

How To Prove Negligence In A Dermal Filler Compensation Claim?
To successfully make a dermal filler compensation claim, you’ll need strong evidence to show that negligence occurred and that the injuries you sustained were the result of that negligence. Without proper evidence, the clinic or practitioner may deny responsibility, and your chances of getting dermal filler negligence compensation could be reduced.
Here are some key types of evidence you can use:
Photographic Evidence: Before and after photos of your dermal filler treatment are one of the most important pieces of evidence. They can clearly show the changes to your face and help prove how the treatment affected you.
Medical Notes: After your injury, it’s essential to visit your GP or a minor injuries unit. These medical records will provide an official account of your injuries and treatment, which can help support your case.
Documentation: If you received any written materials, such as advertisements or brochures from the clinic, these can be useful. For example, if the clinic didn’t properly explain the risks or failed to warn you about potential side effects, this documentation could support your dermal filler claim.
Witness Statements: If a friend or family member was with you during the treatment, their statement can back up your account of what happened.
Accident Reports: Always notify the clinic about your injury. They should make an accident report, and your copy of this report can serve as crucial evidence that the accident occurred.
List of Expenses: Keep track of any costs related to your injury, including medical bills, travel expenses, or lost wages. These can all be claimed back as part of your dermal filler injury compensation.
Gathering this evidence may take time, but it is vital for strengthening your dermal filler claim. With the right documentation, you’ll increase your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve. If you’ve already gathered some evidence, contact us today, and one of our claims advisors can help review it.
Time Limits For Filing A Dermal Filler Injury Claim
If you’ve been injured by dermal filler treatment, it’s important to know that there’s a time limit for making a claim. According to the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, you have 3 years to take legal action. This time starts from either the date you were treated negligently or the date you were diagnosed with your injuries (whichever comes later).
It’s always best to start the claims process as soon as possible. The earlier you begin, the easier it is to remember the details of what happened and gather the evidence needed to support your dermal filler claim.
To find out how much time you have left to make your claim, give us a call today, and our claims advisors will help guide you through the process.
What To Expect During The Dermal Filler Claims Process?
If you’ve been injured by dermal filler treatment, it’s important to know that even if the person who treated you admits fault, you still need to prove it to their insurance company. They won’t pay compensation unless they believe the treatment caused your injury.
Having one of our panel’s expert personal injury solicitors on your side can make a big difference. They’ll gather evidence, build your case, and handle all the tricky legal stuff, so you don’t have to worry.

What Costs Are Covered By Dermal Filler Compensation?
If you’ve been injured by dermal filler treatment, compensation can help cover a wide range of costs related to your recovery. Here’s what might be covered:
- Corrective Procedures: If you need surgery or additional treatments to fix the damage, dermal filler compensation can help pay for these procedures.
- Emotional Support: The emotional toll of your injury matters, too. Dermal filler compensation can cover therapy or other forms of emotional support to help you cope.
- Travel Expenses: If you need to travel for appointments or treatment, we can include those costs in your claim.
- Further Treatment: If you need to see another practitioner to continue your treatment, those costs can be covered as well.
- Prescription Costs: Any medications or prescriptions needed for your recovery can be included in the claim.
- Loss of Income: If your injury has caused you to miss work, you can claim back lost wages.
We understand that these injuries can leave both physical and emotional scars. We’ll work to make sure your compensation covers everything you need, helping make your recovery a little easier.
Can I Make A Dermal Filler Claim On A No Win No Fee Basis?
Yes, many dermal filler claims our panel’s solicitors take are funded with a No Win No Fee agreement. This means you don’t have to worry about upfront costs or paying anything if your claim is unsuccessful. We believe this option helps reduce any financial risk for you.
At the start of your case, we’ll talk to you about the best way to fund your dermal filler claim. If you have legal expenses insurance (LEI) through your household insurance or a trade union, these options may be a good fit. It’s always a good idea to check if you’re already covered.
If a No Win No Fee agreement is the right choice, we’ll set up an insurance policy to protect you. You won’t pay anything unless your dermal filler claim is successful.
We’ll guide you through the process, making sure you understand everything and feel supported every step of the way.
