indicazione nei pazienti sia a scopo terapeutico che cosmetico

[plaplaplipla]

Vorrei tradurre: "La chirurgia trova indicazione (oppure è indicata) nei pazienti sia a scopo terapeutico che cosmetico".

Potrebbe andare: "Surgery has indication for patients as therapeutical and cosmetic aim"?

Ho qualche dubbio sia su indicazione, perchè non riesco a trovare la mia traduzione in nessun sito inglese o americano, sia sull'uso di aim, che non so se è appropriato.

Grazie!

Un'altra mia opzione di traduzione è:
"Surgery has therapeutical and cosmetic indication for patients"

Ciao,
dovresti modificare il primo post invece di scriverne un altro subito dopo. Comunque guarda qui http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=780263

I think the word indication doesn't work here. But you can use indicated as in
Surgery is indicated (for patient) for either therapeutic or cosmetic reasons.

Thank you very much. I have to use the word "patient". What do you think about: Surgery has therapeutical and cosmetic indication for patients.
Or: Surgery is indicated in X patient for either therapeutic or cosmetic reasons?

The expression is Surgery is indicated in X's case for... or Surgery is indicated in the patient X's case...

Perfect! I like it.
Thank you!

However, I have to change the word "reason", because it doesn't mean "scopo". How can I translate "a scopo/fine terapeutico"?
It is used in english?
Thank you.

Probably the most natural would be "for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes." "A scopo/fine terapeutico" translates more exactly as "to therapeutic ends" but the sentence "Surgery is indicated in patient X's case to therapeutic or cosmetic ends" doesn't sound quite right to me.

My try:

Surgery is indicated in the patient(s), whether it be for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes.
