Abstract

Informed consent is commonly reduced to a legal formality rather than upholding its ethical ideal of being a process of shared decision-making. We present a multiphase development process model for creating a patient decision aid prototype to replace the traditional informed consent documents for primary breast augmentation surgery.

Improving the effectiveness of the informed consent process in elective aesthetic procedures

Informed consent is commonly reduced to a legal formality rather than upholding its ethical ideal of being a process of shared decision-making. We present a multiphase development process model for creating a patient decision aid prototype to replace the traditional informed consent documents for primary breast augmentation surgery.
