Inclusive compensation through liability insurance for aesthetic plastic surgery victims Reparación integral de víctimas de procedimientos de cirugía plástica con fines estéticos a través del seguro de responsabilidad civil

Abstract

In medical-sanitary practice, user rights such as life and physical and mental integrity may be transgressed by health­ care providers who perform aesthetic plastic surgery procedures. They may be liberal professionals, when referring to medical liability, or sanitary providers in the case of the liability of clinics which carry out aesthetic procedures. These individuals who could eventually cause harm may generate injuries to patients who are their assignees and indirect negatively affected subjects. This article results from an exploratory research through which we inquired, compiled, reviewed and integrated the results of a literature review which consolidated and standardized documents related to the research topic. The topic is medical-sanitary liability derived from aesthetic procedures and the civil liability insurance coverage of said responsibility relating the latter with the inclusive compensation of the victims of the adverse medical-sanitary event.
