Client Standards of Care
Background: As the demand for cosmetic procedures continues to increase, it is imperative to establish comprehensive standards of care to ensure the safety, well-being, and satisfaction of clients within the Body Altering Aesthetics industry. While advancements in surgical techniques and technologies have led to improved outcomes, there remains a need for clear guidelines and protocols to guide clients through their surgical journey.
Our Mission
This initiative seeks to implement the robust standards of care that have been developed that address the diverse needs and concerns of clients undergoing cosmetic procedures, with a focus on informed consent, patient education, client advocacy & respect, mental health consideration, and competent post-operative care.
