Abstract:
Background and Aim: The tendency to be beautiful is one of the inner desires of human beings, for this purpose, cosmetic surgery is performed in addition to repairing the appearance defects, with the aim of maintaining the mental-psychological balance of the person. But the main challenge is that the pregnant lady (both the real mother and the contract mother) by insisting on the right to reign over her organs, due to the injuries caused by various accidents during pregnancy, intends to undergo cosmetic surgery in combination and at the same time. Do therapy along with surgery. This issue is incompatible with examining the statement that any positive or negative behavior of the mother affects the health of the fetus, thereby preventing the right of the fetus to health. The purpose of the discussion is to state which one is preferable in the conflict between the right to beauty of the pregnant mother and the right to the well-being of the fetus.
Methods: The current research is evaluated with the descriptive-analytical method and the use of library studies, the solution to the clash of rights.
Ethical Considerations: The current research has been compiled in compliance with the principles of ethics, trustworthiness, honesty and originality of the texts.
Results: In solving the conflict between the rights of the mother and the fetus, taking into account the heavy weight of the right of the fetus, preferring the least harm to the most harm, taking the important and leaving the important and expedient rulings, the right to the well-being of the fetus is a priority. Relying on medical data, cosmetic procedures requiring the use of injectable anesthetics due to negative effects on the fetus, sclerotherapy due to passing through the placenta, fillers and waxing are not allowed due to the lack of evidence of their safety in pregnant patients. The use of local anesthetics and peels is relatively safe compared to the above; however, caution should be taken during pregnancy.
Conclusion: The answer to the health of the fetus compared to the distorted symmetry habit of pregnant women, therefore, reconstructive-cosmetic surgery during pregnancy is a priority for them.
