Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify features inherent in the specialties included in «aesthetic medicine». There has been an increase in the number of citizens turning to law enforcement agencies regarding shortcomings in the provision of medical care in general and in the field of plastic surgery and cosmetology in particular. Currently there is no clear regulation of the provision of medical care in the field of plastic surgery and cosmetology. The difficulty in assessing medical care in these areas lies in the fact that they are subjective in nature, which makes it difficult to assess the correctness of the provision of appropriate medical care. The necessity of developing a unified approach to the implementation of forensic medical examinations in assessing the medical care provided by plastic surgeons and cosmetologists is shown.
