Abstract

Brazil holds a prominent position on the world stage regarding plastic surgery, and it is relevant to understand this phenomenon from the legal point of view and from the aesthetic standards that post modernity stimulates, observing the meanings of beauty throughout history. In this scenario, the central problem is to ask whether the Brazilian law is equipped with the necessary tools to, on the one hand, protect people's freedom to perform aesthetic procedures and, on the other hand, safeguard the physical and mental integrity of individuals. Therefore, the objective is to study aesthetic plastic surgeries in the Brazilian legal system, under the prism of private law and with the support in the understanding of jurists and court decisions, indicating a guideline on the subject. For the analysis of this scenario, this paper makes use of the deductive method and a monographic approach, in relation to the procedure, as well as using bibliographic and documentary research techniques. It is based on the hypothesis, it is understood that aesthetic changes have great relevance in the interrelationship between Law and Medicine, since they represent points of intersection for this study. In view of the great exposure and cult of the body in post-modernity, it is relevant for law scholars to dialogue about the new techniques for transforming the body, with a focus on protecting human dignity.
