Como cirujanos plásticos, nos cuesta pensar en algo más allá de lo que vemos. La idea de este trabajo surge a partir de la realidad de que no siempre coincide la valoración del resultado quirúrgico desde el punto de vista del paciente y del cirujano. Lo hemos adjudicado a muchos factores, pero la autoestima del paciente nos ha parecido un factor importante. ¿Cómo logramos objetivizar este aspecto psicológico? Se presentan dos formularios recibidos del Dr. Castle DJ, Mental Health Research Institute, University of Melbourne, Parkville, modificados luego de una interconsulta con la Cátedra de Psiquiatría de la UCA y nuestra propia experiencia. Con esto se intenta dar instrumentos objetivos al cirujano para prevenir problemas graves luego de una cirugía, detectar las contraindicaciones quirúrgicas, contribuir con la seguridad del cirujano en la elección de sus pacientes, detectar enfermedades psiquiátricas y derivarlas y por último, agregar un elemento más en el armamentarium para el resguardo del cirujano plástico y alertar de estas realidades a los cirujanos que recién comienzan.

We have awarded it to many factors, but it has looked like to us an important factor: the selfesteem of the patient. How do we achieve this psychological aspect? : Two forms received of Dr. Castle DJ, Mental Health Research Institute, University of Melbourne and modified after the interconsultation with the chair of Psychiatries of the UCA and for our own experience, are presented. On this objective instruments are tried to meet to the surgeon to anticipate serious problems after a surgery, to detect surgical contraindications, to contribute with the safety of the surgeon in the choice of his patients, to detect psychiatric diseases and to derive them. And finally, to add one more element in the armamentarium for the security of the plastic surgeon and to alert of these realities the surgeons who newly begin
