- Abstract
In recent years, Indonesia has faced the impact of advances in medical technology, and one of them is the development of aesthetic plastic surgery. Currently, aesthetic plastic surgery can be easily carried out not only by doctors but also by beauticians at a salon. It is because there is no clear regulation that regulates it. The absence of regulation regarding aesthetic plastic surgery cause it no clear who actually has the authority to perform it. This article will discuss the authority of beauty practitioners in performing aesthetic plastic surgery from the perspective of Indonesian law. This study uses a normative juridical research method with law approach and the data sources used are obtained from literature studies and data analysis techniques obtained from literature and document studies. This article shows that aesthetic plastic surgery is considered as medical practice. Therefore, based on Indonesian law perspective the beauty practitioners who have the authority in performing aesthetic plastic surgery are only registered and licensed doctors with proper expertise and authority which is based on its competence. So, beauticians are prohibited from performing aesthetic plastic surgery. Beauticians may only perform basic skin care or beauty treatments without the use of medical devices or medicine.
