Editorial standards
Medical Editorial Policy
This policy explains how educational content on drkotti.com is developed and maintained. Website information supports informed discussion with a qualified clinician; it does not replace individual diagnosis, consent or medical care.
Last updated: July 31, 2026
Purpose and scope
Clinical articles are written for patients and readers researching plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Content aims to explain terminology, anatomy, candidacy, alternatives, recovery and risk in clear language while preserving necessary medical nuance.
Authorship and clinical attribution
Where a named clinical author or reviewer is assigned, their name, relevant credentials and profile link are displayed on the article. Editorial assistance may support structure, language and publication, but clinical claims should remain consistent with the named professional's scope of practice and current evidence.
Evidence and citations
Priority is given to primary research, systematic reviews, professional-society guidance, public-health authorities and current regulatory sources. External citations are linked near the claims they support. Evidence limitations, uncertainty and differences between techniques should be stated rather than replaced by absolute promises.
Patient-first standards
- No procedure is presented as suitable for every patient.
- Benefits are discussed alongside material risks, limitations and alternatives.
- Outcomes are not guaranteed, and another patient's result is not presented as a prediction.
- Urgent symptoms and postoperative concerns are directed to appropriate clinical care.
- Marketing terminology is distinguished from recognized clinical terminology when relevant.
Updates and corrections
Articles may be updated when evidence, standards, regulation or service information changes materially. A modification date is displayed when supported by the page. Factual concerns can be submitted to contact@drkotti.com; substantiated errors are corrected as promptly as practical.
Commercial context
This website describes services offered by Dr. Bouraoui Kotti and provides links for consultation requests. That business context does not change the requirement to explain uncertainty, individual suitability and surgical risk. Educational content is not a guarantee of treatment eligibility or outcome.
