Facial Disfigurement
With facial disfigurement a distinction between male and female is particularly significant as you will see below.
Females
With very severe scarring in a relatively young woman where cosmetic effect is very disfiguring and the psychological reaction is severe the amount would be in the region of £28,000 to £56,500.
Less severe scarring where there is some disfigurement and significant psychological reaction the amount would be in the region of £17,000 to £28,000.
With more significant scarring where the worst effects have been or will be reduced by plastic surgery which left some cosmetic disability and where the psychological reaction is not great the amount of compensation will be in the region of £10,500 to £17,550.
Less significant scarring where there may be one scar which can be camouflaged or maybe a number of smaller scars with little effect on the appearance the amount would be in the region of £2,300 to £8,150.
For trivial scarring where the effect is very minor the amount of compensation would be in the region of £1,000 to £2,000.
Males
Very severe scarring in males under the age of 30 where there is permanent disfigurement even after plastic surgery and some considerable psychological reaction the amount would be in the region of £17,550 to £38,175.
Less severe Scarring which has left moderate to severe permanent disfigurement the amount will be in the region of £10,500 to £17,550.
With significant scarring where scars are visible the amount of compensation would be in the region of £5,350 to £10,500.
Less significant scarring which is not visible except on close inspection the amount would be in the region of £2,300 to £5,350.
Trivial scarring where the effect is only minor the amount would be in the region of £1,000 to £2,000.
