المسؤولية المدنية المترتبة عن الجراحة التجميلية

Abstract EN

Plastic surgery has become one of the most popular practices nowadays, because the role of the doctor is no longer limited to treating diseases, but rather it aims at perfecting the shape and getting rid of congenital or acquired body imperfections.

plastic surgery has noticeably spread lately, the thing that requires an extensive research on its circumstances and the incurred civil liability due to the significant related hazards compared to regular surgery, since it does not deal with a specific disease, but with the shape's beauty.

this topic is valuable because it concerns the sanctity of the human body on the one hand, and it is related to the remarkable medical development in the field of medical surgery in general and plastic surgery in particular, on the other hand.

the aim of this study is highlighting the specificity of plastic surgery and its consequent civil liability, since law strongly emphasizes the need for obtaining the patient's free and explicit consent, obliges the doctor to provide sufficient and comprehensive information, and acknowledges that the plastic surgeon's commitment should be to mind due diligence.
