Measuring outcomes in aesthetic surgery.

Abstract:

:The article presents an objective view of evidence-based medicine application to aesthetic surgery. The challenges are discussed and the points that create them are analyzed. Psychological and external factors in decision-making for aesthetic surgery are presented. The handling of surgical complications is presented as an example affecting reporting of outcomes.
