During a press conference held today, the Collège des médecins du Québec unveiled the conclusions of a report prepared by its working group on aesthetic medicine and surgery. The working group is recommending the implementation of a series of actions, including the creation of a directory of aesthetic medical activities accessible to the public on the Order’s Web site, as well as the production of a practice guideline for doctors outlining the standards to be adhered to in this field. The guide would also specify the training required to carry out aesthetic techniques and would insist on the notion of free and enlightened patient consent.
