Treatments in the field of facial aesthetic medicine are largely related to the discontinuity of the skin and are performed by both doctors and dentists. In the dentist's office, where such procedures are performed, as in any other therapeutic entity, the patient's rights apply, which are a guarantee of subjective treatment of the patient. They enable the patient in the situation of violation of patient's rights, dissatisfaction with the effects or occurrence of a complication or adverse event to refer the case to the appropriate authorities. The paper presents the basic rights of the patient, expressing the protection of his autonomy (freedom of will, awareness and knowledge) in terms of his own health.

This article explores the ethics of surrogate decision-making and the issue of patient rights regarding end of life. More precisely, it considers the problems underlying surrogate decision-making, why it is so fraught with problems, and what can be done to address them. It first provides a historical background on surrogate decision-making and the rise of the patients’ rights movement by analyzing the landmark cases of Karen Quinlan and Nancy Cruzan. It then discusses the implications for surrogate decision-making of the success of the patient’s rights movement, spurred by Quinlan and Cruzan and championed in the rise of bioethics. The article concludes by offering some suggestions for rethinking the role of surrogates when it comes to making decisions for patients at the end of life.
