Your mental and emotional health is of utmost importance. Anyone who has a current, untreated psychological diagnosis is not a candidate for plastic surgery. That doesn’t mean that if a person does have a diagnosis, they cannot have surgery ever, but they should be being treated for the disorder and they should discuss the idea of having plastic surgery at length with their psychologist first. Make sure your psychologist is involved in the entire process of the procedure—before, during, and after. ![]() You may need a dosage adjustment of any medications, as well as counseling through the different stages of recovery. The reason why this is so important is that plastic surgery has been shown to magnify certain psychological ailments. After surgery, people are more likely to feel scared and vulnerable. They can’t move around as much. They’re stuck at home recovering. They’re in some degree of pain, which can cause changes in the hormonal activity of your body and brain. Having surgery releases stress hormones from the adrenal glands that affect your mood and thinking. All these drastic hormonal changes can be tough for anyone to deal with, but they can be even harder on people with a psychiatric diagnosis. This means that if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, or anxiety, and it’s not under control when you have the procedure done, then you can have significant problems and worsening symptoms in the immediate post-operative period. Even if your disorder is under control, your symptoms may be magnified, which is why it’s important that your psychologist be involved every step of the way.
