Australian women consider class action against cosmetic surgery clinic

They kept telling me it was going to drop, then six months late I woke up with my boob practically on my shoulder.

More than 60 women are considering a class action against one of Australia’s largest cosmetic surgery clinics, saying they were left scarred or disfigured by breast surgery.

Seven News says some of the women woke to find breast implants up under their armpits, or closer to their shoulders.

“Since our first report on The Cosmetic Institute two months ago, more than 60 women have come forward some with mis-shapen implants, some the wrong size, mismatching, others with serious post-operative infections and scarring,” the report says.

One woman, Koebii Daley said: “They kept telling me it was going to drop, then six months late I woke up with my boob practically on my shoulder.”

The lawyer investigating a class action believes there are many more unhappy clients out there.

Sally Gleeson, from Turner Freeman Lawyers, told Seven News: “This is an issue that we’ll be taking very seriously, we’ll be investigating the matters vigorously and we’re hoping that we’ll get a positive response from TCI because that’s the sort of response that these women deserve.”
