AESTHETIC PROCEDURES: ERRORS AND MEDICAL CIVIL LIABILITY

Abstract

This academic work aims to address the civil liability of physicians in cases of aesthetic damage, in order to clarify how the relevant legislation assigns this responsibility to the medical, whether objective or subjective, and what can be considered professional error. At first, a study is made on civil responsibility, making an analysis of its fundamental factors; moral, material and aesthetic damage, as well as the species of civil responsibility and the causes that exclude responsibility. Next, the question of medical error is approached, bringing concepts of obligation of means, of result, and civil responsibility in case of medical failure. Finally, the civil medical liability for aesthetic damage and the provisions of the Consumer Defense Code are discussed.
