ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Aesthetic plastic surgery has a significant impact on mental health, with increasing motivation influenced by sociocultural factors, social media, and the " Zoom Effect." Anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder are common among candidates for these procedures. Therefore, this study aims to analyze recent clinical evidence on the psychological effects of aesthetic surgery, considering benefits, risks, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach. Methodology: This integrative review included articles published between 2020 and 2025, identified in the PubMed and SciELO databases, resulting in the final selection of 10 studies according to previously established eligibility criteria. Results and discussion: The studies showed a significant increase in demand post-pandemic, a direct relationship with digital influences and economic indicators, as well as improvements in self-esteem, body image, and quality of life in patients with good screening. However, individuals with emotional vulnerabilities or psychiatric disorders have a higher risk of dissatisfaction and postoperative psychological distress. Conclusion: Cosmetic surgery can provide significant psychological benefits, but these results depend on rigorous preoperative evaluation, proper management of expectations, and integration between surgery and mental health, ensuring an ethical, safe, and effective practice.
