Abstract
Aesthetic physical therapy is based on scientific knowledge, effectively contributing during preoperative and postoperativeperiods of cosmetic plastic surgeries. This study aimed to descriptively analyze how frequently doctors recommend aesthetic physicaltherapy in preoperative and postoperative periods for patients submitted to plastic surgeries, as well as the main technical criterion usedfor such recommendations. By means of a questionnaire, 30 medical plastic surgeons of the city of Porto Alegre were interviewed. Fromthese, 4 (13%) said to be unaware of aesthetic physical therapy, 10 (33%) had answered that they refer patients to aesthetic physicaltherapy in pre- and postoperative periods, and 28 (93%) said that they recommend this during the postoperative period. From thetotal, 19 (63%) had said to give patients instructions to aesthetic physical therapy. It is observed, therefore, that recommendations arenot statistically significant in the preoperative period. The process of making more known work specificities and knowledge as regardsaesthetic physical therapy need to be perfected.
