Anxiety disorders are common in cosmetic surgery patients, impacting their psychological well-being and surgical outcomes. Early identification and mental health referral are crucial for managing patient anxiety and improving satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Anxiety Disorders

Background:

  • Surgery presents significant psychological stress, particularly cosmetic surgery, due to patient expectations for improved self-image.
  • Anxiety disorders can complicate perioperative care, stemming from fears of surgical side effects and potential disappointment.

Observation:

  • High anxiety levels and perceived threats to self can lead to significant psychological reactions in plastic surgery patients.
  • Patients may mask concerns, manifesting as anger or hostility, necessitating careful psychosocial assessment.
  • Common anxiety disorders include panic attacks, posttraumatic stress disorder, and acute stress disorder in the perioperative setting.

Findings:

  • Plastic surgeons must identify diagnostic features of anxiety disorders and implement treatment strategies.
