Análise Dos Transtornos Psiquiátricos Mais Frequentes Em Pacientes Submetidos A Cirurgias Plásticas

Abstract

The advent of the image culture in the 21st century gave podium to Aesthetic Medicine, , in particular to Plastic Surgery. However, changes in physical appearance, when abrupt, repetitive and associated with some specific signs and symptoms, should trigger an alarm signal for the mental health of the patient in question. Thus, analyzing which psychiatric disorders are most frequently associated with such patients through a literary and non-systematic review, there is a way to early detect associated mental pathologies in such individuals who seek aesthetic interventions. Recognizing how such patterns manifest themselves is of substantial importance in order to discern what would or would not be pathological. Associated with this, an analysis of how influence and social control can drive such individuals and even be related to their illness process was carried out. So that, cosmetic surgery can be well indicated and not serve as a causative factor or trigger of illness.
