Pre-Cosmetic Surgery Assessments
At CAO, several of our team offer psychological assessment for patients considering cosmetic surgery. These assessments are available if your surgeon has identified that you may have psychological risk factors, such as body dysmorphic disorder, or if you want your own screening conducted before engaging with a surgeon.
Pre-surgery assessments with a psychologist are a way of exploring whether cosmetic surgery will be safe for your mental wellbeing. The assessments are conducted based on the Australian Psychological Society guidelines.
These assessments involve one or two 1hr consultations followed by completing some online questionnaires. The assessing psychologist will discuss their feedback and recommendations with you, and will provide you a summary report you can provide to your surgeon.
