title: [Esthetic surgery and psychological rupture states].
abstract: Although the psychological profile of patients requesting cosmetic surgery is often similar, the consequences of surgery can be dramatic in certain cases and result in a true state of rupture. The various forms, depression or aggression, and the conditions of onset are analysed. The four essential predisposing factors are: lack of information, result-satisfaction dichotomy, patient-surgeon divorce, and the responsibility of colleagues who, as a result of their inconsiderable comments, destabilize an already fragile psychological state.
