Introduction: The practice of plastic surgery began in the field of reconstructive surgery, in an attempt to recover the functionality of some area of the body or give it a more natural appearance. In this sense, the role of the physical therapist is recommended in various aesthetic surgeries that, through physical therapy resources and techniques, promote tissue healing, reduce the appearance of adhesions, and reduce or eliminate pain, bruises, and edema. Objective: to identify the effects of physical therapy in the postoperative period of plastic surgery. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, in which there will be a review of articles related to the study of the effects of physical therapy assistance applied to the postoperative period of plastic surgery. Articles related to the proposed theme were included, published between 2011 and 2024, available in full, without language restriction; in addition to theses, dissertations, and monographs. Exclusion criteria were literature review articles, articles or abstracts that had been published in conference proceedings; as well as letters from editors and preprints. Results and discussions: it can show that physiotherapy in the postoperative period of plastic surgery is essential in reducing recovery time, reducing edema, improving the healing process, and preventing the risk of complications in the postoperative period. The main physiotherapeutic resources and techniques were: lymphatic drainage, ultrasound, radiofrequency, laser, and high frequency. Regarding plastic surgeries, the most frequent in the literature were: abdominoplasty, blepharoplasty, rhytidectomy, and liposuction. Final considerations: Dermatofunctional physiotherapy is of paramount importance in the postoperative period of plastic surgery. It is essential in reducing recovery time and reducing the risks arising from surgery.

Os seres humanos, confrontados por critérios normativos, filosóficos e religiosos, buscam explicar e entender os pormenores que possam surgir do uso da Cirurgia Plástica, seja estética ou reparadora. Os grandes avanços na Cirurgia Plástica não aconteceriam até o século XX, pois os extensos ferimentos e mutilações decorrentes da Primeira Grande Guerra fizeram com que a Cirurgia Plástica reconstrutiva se tornasse uma necessidade para muitos soldados. A Segunda Grande Guerra também impulsionou o desenvolvimento da Cirurgia Plástica reconstrutiva, pois, antes dela, ínfimos eram os conhecimentos acerca de como tratar queimaduras graves, assim como suas decorrentes complicações, e muito menos se conhecia sobre como reabilitar e reinserir na sociedade pacientes com sequelas de queimaduras. Observa-se, em determinado círculo da sociedade, indivíduos susceptíveis às normas da Halacha, com necessidade de explanações normativo-filosóficas, a fim de delinear a possibilidade, sem culpabilidade, de se ampararem no uso de cirurgias plásticas. O presente artigo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o uso da Cirurgia Plástica estética ou reparadora na cultura judaica, analisando escritos normativos, da halacha, e filosóficos talmúdicos, além de realizar uma análise da ética, moral e filosofia geral. Como método foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Por se tratar de questões normativas teológicas, éticas e filosóficas, as buscas abrangerão referências diversas, apresentadas sob diferentes formatos, sem limite temporal, publicados em Portugues, Ingles ou Espanhol. Foram utilizados e combinados descritores e, a partir dos materiais obtidos, a pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada em “bola de neve”, permitindo uma “overview” sobre o tema.
