医学美容契约之问题研析

Analysis of the Problems of Medical Cosmetology Contract

根据"卫生福利部"与法院判决之相关说明,一般医疗行为与医学美容行为未加区分,一般医疗行为的法则被适用于医学美容的纷争。但医学美容行为系基于个人对于美观之需求,而非基于生理、心理健康考虑,因而有别于一般医疗行为。另一方面,为加强对于消费者的保护,对于具有不确定性的医学美容行为应否适用《消费者保护法》而采用无过失责任是否过于严苛,亦有疑问。本文自一般医疗行为与医学美容行为之异同出发,讨论医学美容行为之说明义务、医学美容契约之契约性质,以及是否应适用《消费者保护法》。

According to the opinion of Ministry of Health and Welfare and judgments of courts, the behaviors of medical cosmetology has not been distinguished from those of general medical treatment. The rules for general medical behavior are also applied for the medical cosmetology. However, the reason behind medical cosmetology is the desire for beauty, not necessary out of physiological and mental health. Second, given the uncertainty of medical cosmetology, it is dubious whether the application of non-fault liability in the Consumer Protection Act is too rigorous. Basing on the identical and different characteristics of medical cosmetology and general medical treatment, this article will discuss the following three parts： obligation to disclose, nature of medical cosmetology and the application of Consumer Protection Act.
