- Abstract
This article examines the increase in aesthetic procedures globally and the corresponding rise in malpractice cases. The authors argue that mediation is a crucial alternative to lawsuits, as it can prevent damage to patient-provider relationships. The study analyzes 51 aesthetic medical malpractice cases from a Taiwanese court, categorizing them into successful mediation, failed mediation, and withdrawal. The article compares successful and failed mediation cases, highlighting factors such as physician attendance at mediation, claim amount, solatium, and degree of aesthetic impairment. The study concludes that effective communication, adherence to informed consent, compliance with medical guidelines, physician attendance at mediation, and reasonable claim amounts are key to successful mediation. However, the study's limitations include the lack of patient medical information and the absence of similar studies in other countries.
