Editorial Policy

AesthetiFact exists to answer questions about aesthetic surgery using the published, peer reviewed medical literature. This page explains how our content is produced, who is responsible for it, and how we keep it accurate.

Our editorial standards

Every answer on AesthetiFact must meet the same standards. We cite the peer reviewed sources that support each statement. We grade the strength of the evidence from A to D and explain the grade in plain language. We never exaggerate what a study shows, and when the evidence is weak, mixed, or absent, we say so directly. We do not describe any technique as better or worse than another unless cited evidence supports the comparison; otherwise we present trade-offs. We write for patients first, in language that does not require medical training to understand.

AesthetiFact is not a clinic website. We do not sell procedures, accept advertising, or receive industry sponsorship. No content on this site is a substitute for an in-person consultation with a qualified clinician.

How AI is used, and how humans oversee it

AesthetiFact uses an AI evidence engine to search the medical literature, summarize relevant studies, and draft answers in a consistent, graded format. Every answer page discloses this on the page itself. Answers generated this way are AI written: they are grounded in and cite the peer reviewed literature, but they are not individually reviewed by a physician unless a page is explicitly marked as medically reviewed with a named reviewer and date.

Human oversight operates at the level of the system, not each page. Our editorial board defines and oversees the methodology the engine must follow: which sources qualify, how evidence grades are assigned, the requirement that every claim carry a citation, the safety triage rules, and the disclosure language on every page. The board also spot checks output and directs corrections under our corrections policy.

AI generated answers are excluded from search engine indexing. Only content that meets our editorial standard for indexing, such as the cornerstone procedure guides and any individually reviewed answers, appears in search engine sitemaps.

Evidence grades

Grade A: consistent evidence from randomized controlled trials or strong meta-analyses. Grade B: good evidence from meta-analyses of observational studies, single randomized trials, or large consistent cohort studies. Grade C: limited evidence from small cohort studies, case series, or heterogeneous observational data. Grade D: expert opinion, case reports, or clinical convention without direct supporting studies.

Closely related pages draw their grades from a shared internal claims registry, so the same claim carries the same grade everywhere it appears on the site. Read more about the framework on Our Method.

Who is responsible

The physicians listed on our editorial board page are responsible for the platform's methodology and editorial standards. Individual AI generated answers are the output of the evidence engine operating under those standards and are not personally authored or individually endorsed by any board member. Each board member's credentials, specialties, and conflict of interest disclosures are published on their profile.
