Dead Or Alive's Pete Burns will receive compensation from Harley Street surgeon Dr Maurizio Viel for botched lip surgery. As previously reported, Burns began legal proceedings in January after he underwent a 'lip lift' operation and was left with swelling and blisters.
Last week, Dr Viel admitted in the High Court to allegations that he injected a product called Outline Original into Burns' lips without proper warning of potential side-effects. He also failed to observe guidelines about its use in conjunction with other products and gave an excessive number of follow-up injections.
Burns' lawyer Auriana Griffiths said: "The barrister representing Dr Viel confirmed last week in court that the allegations of negligence set out in the original documents filed at court have been admitted. Further allegations have been added, with the permission of the court, relating to a lip lift procedure. At this stage, the investigation into the value of the case is ongoing and no figure has been agreed".
