indicazione nei pazienti sia a scopo terapeutico che cosmetico

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"

    • 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.
