Are cosmetic surgeons are obligated to have patient sign individual consent forms for each specific procedure that is performed in an office? I had three different procedures in one office and the practitioner only asked me to sign a consent form before one of the procedures and I would like to know if this is standard practice.? (All three procedures were fillers, however they were injected in different locations). Thank you
Answer: Informed Consent Thank you for your question. The purpose of an informed consent is to ensure that you have been appropriately advised regarding the risks, benefits and side effects of a procedure. It would be entirely appropriate for dermal filler injections to multiple areas to be covered by a single informed consent. It is important that you read the entire informed consent and make sure that any questions or concerns you have been answered before undergoing any medical procedure. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Answer: Consent form Hi and thanks for your question. If you are doing different procedures like filler and Botox you need 2 consent forms but if all treatments are the same even in different parts of your body does not need a separate consent form.

Answer: Consent form Every office has their own consent forms to give the patients information about the procedures they perform. There is no standard consent. I use one form for all brands of Hyaluronic Acid fillers, another for both Botox and Dysport, another for all types of Laser and Lights, etc. Location does not change my consents. I do address off label use in consents. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD
