“The legal dimension of medical intervention is not a subject of discussion in terms of interventions for the purpose of treatment, and the legal relationship between the physician and the patient in these interventions is interpreted as a contract of attorney. However, when it comes to aesthetic operations, the legal dimension of the intervention becomes debatable. It is accepted by the Court of Cassation that the legal relationship between the patient and the physician in such interventions, which are not intended for treatment, performed with aesthetic concerns and for beautification purposes, is not an agency contract, but a contract of work.”
