Refer a patientWhy this evaluation matters
A pre-surgical psychiatric evaluation helps cosmetic surgeons confirm that a candidate's mood, substance use, motivation, and expectations are well-aligned with the planned procedure. A standardized assessment gives the surgical team a clear clinical picture, supports informed consent, and documents the pre-operative baseline in a single readable report.
What the evaluation covers
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Validated depression and anxiety screening — universal to every AlviPsych clearance.
- AUDIT-C and DAST-10. Validated alcohol and drug-use screening — universal to every AlviPsych clearance.
- Motivation review. Why the patient is pursuing the procedure now, including any external pressures or recent life stressors.
- Expectation alignment. Realistic understanding of what the procedure can and cannot deliver, and how outcomes will be evaluated.
- Psychiatric history & treatment review. Prior diagnoses, current treatment, and any active symptoms relevant to surgery timing.
- Support system & recovery planning. Household support, time off work, and coping capacity during post-op recovery.
