Unlike other surgical specialists, plastic surgeons attending patients who seek aesthetic improvement are not trying to make sick patients well, but rather well patients better. This not only places a much heavier burden of responsibility on the operating surgeons, but also subjects them to a much broader range of a patient's reasons for unhappiness. This article examines various fields of plastic surgery in terms of liability and offers advice on how best to reduce the frequency of such medical liability claims.
与其他外科专科医生不同，为寻求美容改善的患者提供治疗的整形外科医生并非试图让患病的患者康复，而是让健康的患者变得更美。这不仅给主刀医生带来了更沉重的责任负担，也使他们面临患者更多样化的不满原因。本文从责任角度审视了整形外科的各个领域，并就如何最好地减少此类医疗责任索赔的频率提供建议。
