摘要
It is important to establish what is motivating the patient to seek treatment. There may be tangible or intangible reasons and the clinician needs to be clear what health gain is to be achieved.The challenge revolves around balancing the autonomy of the patient's desire for cosmetic treatment with the downsides of intervention.Consent is integral to ensure mutually satisfying treatment is provided.
