A psychological or psychiatric assessment before your aesthetic surgery can be a prerequisite for the planned operation. Because before your nose surgery, breast surgery, eyelid surgery etc. you should be checked in every respect and well prepared for the operation. If you have any internal medical concerns or problems, we will recommend an internal medical assessment before your operation. And if you have any psychological concerns or problems, a psychological assessment should clarify whether you are suitable for an operation and how you can best prepare for it.
In the consultation and information sessions before the operation, all important questions about the operation are discussed. The psychological component is also taken into account in the area of plastic and aesthetic surgery. Psychological knowledge is important in every consultation before an operation and is also part of the training of a plastic surgeon. In some cases, however, further clarification is recommended.
When is a psychological assessment necessary before surgery?
The law stipulates that patients with an unclear psychological status (e.g. known mental illnesses, taking psychotropic drugs) are assessed by a psychologist or psychiatrist/neurologist before undergoing cosmetic surgery. Here, medications are optimized if necessary and your surgery is approved from a psychological perspective.
We can recommend the following psychologists or psychiatrists/neurologists in Klagenfurt:
