  • Title: [From information to the right to advice, the responsibility increase in aesthetic surgery].
    Author: Saboye J.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 2011 Jun; 56(3):216-8. PubMed ID: 21571421.
    Abstract:
    The law stipulates that the patient should be informed by the surgeon. For plastic surgery the right to advice has also become jurisprudence. This right obliges the surgeon to take an active part in his patient's decision. The medical contract is obsolete since the law of 4th march 2002. Thus medical staffs are only responsible if they are in fault. On the other hand the legal obligation to establish an estimate before operating and to give a withdrawal date constitutes a real consumer's contract between the surgeon and his patient. Maybe this is the reason why the right to advice, which is common practice in commercial or service contracts, is now also important for the plastic surgeon.
