Dr. Sylvia was thrilled to be a part of the Allergan Aesthetics Week 2023 in Manila, where she delivered a talk about “Ethics in Aesthetic Medicine”. This presentation emphasized the important role that ethical considerations play in performing safe and conscientious aesthetic treatments.
In Dr. Sylvia’s talk, she discussed the characteristics that distinguish an ethical aesthetic practitioner from an unscrupulous one. She also noted that the motivations for pursuing aesthetic treatments and ethical considerations are different and that the goal should be life-enhancing instead of being life-saving.
Dr. Sylvia also talked about the Ethical Challenges of Aesthetic Medicine, including
- Appearance and aging anxiety
- Social media and medical marketing
- Market-driven discipline
- Conflicts of interest
Dr. Sylvia’s talk focused on the crucial role of ensuring the safety and contentment of patients. Apart from safeguarding the patients, ethical practice also maintains the reputation and credibility of the entire profession. It nurtures trust and confidence in the medical aesthetic industry, fostering responsible growth and innovation.
She also discussed the Four Core Ethical Principles, including:
- Autonomy
- Beneficence
- Non-maleficence
- Justice
