Mental Health Awareness Essential For Plastic
Surgeons, Says Dr. Harvey "Chip" Cole
The fact that plastic
surgery can have a
substantial impact on a
patient's self-perception
comes as no surprise...
...but recent research shows
that surgery candidates are
more likely to have pre-
existing conditions than the
general population.
Dr. Harvey "Chip" Cole,
III, MD, FACS, highlights
the increased prevalence
of mental health risk
factors in plastic surgery
patients...
...and urges
practitioners to take
these recent
findings into
account.
The surgeon cites a series
of recent studies which
indicate: - an increased
prevalence of body
dysmorphic disorder in
individuals requesting
plastic surgery;
- higher rates of
depression,
anxiety, and
personality
disorders.
Considering these findings, Dr.
Cole recommends that all
surgeons take into account the
psychological situation of each
patient when assessing their
suitability for plastic surgery
