Editorial Standards

How we write, source, and review patient-education content.

Accuracy & Sourcing

Clinical statements are grounded in peer-reviewed plastic surgery literature and society guidance (ASPS, ISAPS, WHO). Outcome ranges, recovery timelines, and risk percentages are presented as ranges observed in published series, never as personal guarantees.

Tone & Language

We avoid superlatives ("best", "guaranteed", "look younger instantly"), fear-based language, and body-shaming. Content is professional, calm, educational, and premium.

Disclosure

Review Cadence
