Findings from Armed Forces Capital Hospital in Health and Medicine Reported (Analysis of Ovid's metamorphoses Through Fromm's Framework of Human Needs From the Perspective of Plastic Surgery).

The article focuses on a study that examines how the stories in Ovid's *Metamorphoses* reflect psychological desires related to contemporary motivations for altering one's appearance, particularly through plastic surgery. The research analyzes six narratives—Narcissus, Echo, Apollo and Daphne, Venus and Adonis, Persephone, and Pygmalion—using Fromm's framework of human needs. It highlights the complex relationship between physical beauty and deeper desires such as love and identity, suggesting that transformation often involves trade-offs and can lead to both connection and isolation. The study concludes that these timeless narratives provide insights into the human condition and encourage a nuanced understanding of plastic surgery as a cultural and psychological phenomenon.
