ABSTRACT
Cosmetic surgery was undertaken on a limited number of physically or mentally challenged patients. Motivation for surgery seemed to mimic those of average cosmetic surgery patients, although the request for surgery was more difficult for some patients in view of their physical or mental challenges. Patient and surgeon satisfaction was extremely high. In each case, expectations were realistic. Physical or mental variations should not cloud the indications for cosmetic surgery; on the contrary, it may be a wonderful way for the plastic surgeon to contribute to bettering the life of those less fortunate.
