Medical aesthetics informed-consent question checklist
Medical reviewer: Dr. Hamza Gemici ·
Informed consent in medical aesthetics means the patient understands the procedure name, goal, alternatives, product or device used, lot or parameter documentation, expected recovery, common side effects, rare serious risks, follow-up plan and urgent contact pathway. Consent is not marketing copy; it is a medical explanation that supports decision-making. Patients should disclose pregnancy/breastfeeding, medication, allergies, bleeding risk, herpes history, dental work, previous Botox/filler products and realistic expectations.

Frequently asked questions
Does consent guarantee a result?
No. Consent explains risks, alternatives and follow-up; it does not guarantee a specific outcome.
Why ask about lot number?
Traceability supports follow-up, safety review and product-related adverse-event assessment.
Can I postpone if unsure?
Yes. For elective aesthetic procedures, postponing is appropriate when the decision is not clear.
