Clinical-psychological assessment prior to aesthetic surgery
In Austria, a psychological examination is required by law for 16 to 18-year-olds before certain aesthetic procedures (§ 5 para. 2, § 7 para. 2 ÄsthOpG). This ensures that there are no psychological disorders underlying the desire for surgery.
The examination (1.5-3 hours) includes a discussion about the reasons for the treatment, a medical history and psychological tests. A referral from the surgeon is required. Please bring a photo ID, medical documents and proof of payment. A prior consultation is recommended.
Costs
- 530 € to 770 € (to be paid privately, not covered by health insurance).
This measure serves the responsible examination of aesthetic interventions in adolescents.

The diagnosis is based on a detailed clinical interview and a structured assessment in several dimensions. It is used for a precise understanding of the case and individual therapy planning. The examination usually lasts 90 to 120 minutes and can be supplemented by further sessions, depending on the issue at hand.
