BBC Newsreader to Sue Surgeon for Botched Up Laser Surgery
Prominent BBC newsreader Kate Silverton is to sue a leading London surgeon over a botched up laser skin rejuvenation. The procedure had left her face so badly marked she was unable to work for two weeks.

One of the most recent innovations in anti-aging remedies has been laser skin resurfacing, which improves the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation (discolored areas of the skin), primarily around the eyes and mouth. It can also be used to treat large areas of the face.

Laser skin resurfacing has gained popularity recently because of its advantages over alternative approaches that may cause discomfort, bleeding, and bruising, all of which mean a longer recovery time. The result of more youthful-looking skin means laser skin resurfacing can be psychologically rejuvenating as well.

In the case of the 37-year-old Miss Silverton the procedure left her face covered in painful and unsightly swellings.

She returned to work last week and has instructed lawyers to begin proceedings following her experience at the Jan Stanek clinic in London, Daily Mail reports.

Miss Silverton said: "It's been awful. I went in to get some minor scarring on my cheeks treated.

"I was told it would be a routine procedure and I'd be back to work in days. The treatment, however, caused a massive skin reaction."

Richard Follis of Shoosmiths solicitors in Birmingham, who is acting for Miss Silverton, said: "Kate had a very nasty experience following what was meant to be a minor procedure.
