Ethics in cosmetic surgery

Ethics in cosmetic surgery involves principles that ensure patient safety, honesty, and respect. Surgeons must provide honest information about risks, realistic outcomes, and limitations. They should prioritize the patient’s well-being, avoid unnecessary procedures, and obtain informed consent. Confidentiality and respecting patient autonomy are key, along with practicing without exploiting vulnerabilities. Ethical cosmetic surgery balances aesthetic goals with health considerations, ensuring procedures are performed responsibly and transparently to maintain trust and integrity in the medical profession.
