Aesthetic surgery as organopsychic therapy

Summary Abnormal anatomic variations have a wide range from small abnormalties to greater defects. Although these cannot be considered pathologic deformations, they may cause psychic problems in patients already on the border of psychic disease. It is therefore necessary to call them organopsychic alterations. In general, the plastic correction is not carried out exclusively because of aesthetic causes, but also to heal the psychic disease. On this basis, it is justifiable to call these aesthetic interventions organopsychic therapy.
