Special Notes relating to the charter:
Cosmetic medicine is mutually exclusive to cosmetic surgery
It is essential to note that cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery are different. Apart from the word ‘cosmetic’, cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery are mutually exclusive to one another just as general medicine and general surgery are mutually exclusive to each other, apart from the word ‘general’.
