今天給大家帶來的是一則閱讀材料，圣經的格言說：“醫者先自醫”.同樣的標準適用于那些選擇進行美容手術的外科醫生嗎？
At his San Diego office, Alex Roher, M.D., relaxes wrinkles and plumps deep lines one face at a time. For years, he"s been administering vials of Botox and injectable fillers to patients eager to refresh their looks, but does the desire to look younger extend to industry professionals? Absolutely, Dr. Roher contends.
圣地亞哥的醫學博士Alex Roher多年來一直在給他的病人們注射肉毒桿菌和填充劑，希望能夠讓患者保持年輕。但整容行業的專業人士是否也有這種永葆年輕的渴望呢？Alex Roher博士認為，當然如此。
“Most plastic surgeons have gone under the knife,” says Roher. “The rate compared to the general public is much higher, from my experience.”
Roher說：“大多數整形外科醫生都做過手術。以我的經驗來看，與普通民眾相比，這一比例要高得多?！?/P>
Cosmetic vs. Plastic Surgery

美容外科 vs 整形外科
Before delving into the propensity of surgeons to undergo appearance-altering procedures, let"s get a handle on the differences between cosmetic and plastic surgeons. Although “cosmetic” and “plastic” are terms often used interchangeably, they refer to two different levels of training.
在深入研究這些之前，讓我們先來了解一下美容外科醫生和整形外科醫生的區別。盡管美容和整容是經常使用的術語，但它們兩者間的程度有所不同。
In general, surgeons who follow the training and certification process to become a board certified plastic surgeon are required to complete 150 cosmetic surgery cases as part of a rotation that includes surgical training for hands, reconstruction, trauma, congenital defects and other disorders. Plastic surgeons repair cleft palates and revise scars, as well as reconstruct limbs and breasts after surgery. However, plastic surgeons can perform surgical and noninvasive procedures that are strictly cosmetic, too.
一般來說，外科醫生想要接受培訓并通過外科認證成為一名注冊的美容外科醫生，需要完成150個美容手術，這些外科訓練包括手部、重建、創傷、先天性缺陷和其他外科疾病。整形外科醫生包括修復腭裂、修正疤痕、術后重建四肢和乳房。美容外科醫生也可以進行外科手術和非侵入性的手術。
Cosmetic surgeons are focused on enhancing the appearance of a patient"s face, neck or body with liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentations, facelifts and other cosmetic procedures. Cosmetic surgeries are considered elective, as are noninvasive procedures like laser resurfacing or Botox injections. To become board certified, cosmetic surgeons are required to complete 300 cosmetic surgery cases.
整形外科醫生則專注于提高病人面部、頸部和身體的外觀，包括抽脂、俯臥、隆胸、面部整形和其他美容手術。這種手術是具有選擇性的，像激光換膚和注射肉毒桿菌等侵入性的手術一樣。為了獲得認證，整形外科醫生需要完成300個手術。
Surgery Rates Among Surgeons
外科醫生做手術的概率

So, do most plastic or cosmetic surgeons elect to enhance their appearance? And, do they do so at a higher rate than the general public?
那么，大多數整容外科醫生會選擇增強自己的外觀嗎？他們這樣做的比例要比普通人高嗎？
“Yes and yes,” says Grant Stevens, M.D., fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, and a clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Southern California.
美國醫療保健管理學院的研究員兼南加州大學的整形外科教授整形外科教授 Grant Stevens表示：“是的?！?/P>
The results of a study published in the December 2009 Journal of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery seem to bear out this anecdotal evidence. The study found that, of the 276 plastic surgeons surveyed, a full one-third have had at least one type of cosmetic surgery, while Pew Research Center statistics show that of the general U.S. population, only 4 percent of adults say they"ve had cosmetic surgery. Of the surgeons who"d had surgery themselves, the most common surgical procedure was liposuction of the trunk and/or extremities.
2009年12月發表在整形外科雜志上的一項研究結果似乎證實了這一傳聞。研究發現，在接受調查的276名整形外科醫生中，有1/3的人至少做過一種整形手術。皮尤研究中心的統計數據顯示，在美國總人口中，只有4%的成年人表示做過整容手術。在接受手術的整形外科醫生中，最常見的是抽脂。
Interestingly, female plastic surgeons were less likely to have breast augmentation than the general population, but male plastic surgeons were more apt to have cosmetic procedures than men in the general population. It"s a finding that holds true for Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.
有趣的是，女性整形外科醫生隆胸的比例比普通人低，但男性整形醫生比一般人整容的比例要高。比利福山莊的一名通過認證的整形外科醫生 Glenn Vallecillos表示：
“I continuously treat myself to a laser, yet other times I will ask one of my nurses to inject a little Botox.”
“我經常會用激光治療自己，有時也會讓我的護士注射一點肉毒桿菌?！?/P>
Like Dr. Vallecillos, 62 percent of the plastic surgeons in the 2009 study had undergone at least one type of minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, less serious than surgery. The most common procedure was Botox injections （31.5 percent）， and female plastic surgeons had significantly more minimally invasive cosmetic procedures compared with male plastic surgeons （84.9 versus 57 percent）。
與Vallecillos一樣，09年的研究中，62%的整形外科醫生至少接受過一種微創性整容手術。最常見的是注射肉毒桿菌，而女性整形外科醫生比男性接受微創性整形外科手術的比例高。
The Selfie Effect

自拍影響
In 2016, facial plastic surgeons reported an uptick in cosmetic surgeries by patients under 30, along with an increase in nonsurgical procedures, according to a member survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery.Fifty-one percent of AAFPRS members reported that more patients are seeking early intervention, with increasing numbers of men and women in their 20s and 30s opting for facial injectables.
據美國面部整形外科協會的一項成員調查顯示，2016年里，30歲以下接受過整形手術的面部整形外科醫生的人數增加。整形外科協會51%的成員報告稱，越來越多的患者尋求早期干預，越來越多的20、30歲的男性和女性選擇了面部注射。
Nearly all AAFPRS members - 99 percent - agreed that celebrity influence plays a big role. And so does social media. According to AAFPRS members, the top driver for cosmetic procedures is the impact of social media; of participating surgeons, 42 percent reported that patients are seeking cosmetic procedures to look better in selfies on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook Live and other social channels.
幾乎99%的成員認為名人影響力起著重要的作用，同時也認為社交媒體的影響是整容手術的首要驅動力。42%的外科醫生表示，患者接受整容手術是想讓自己在ins、Snapchat、Facebook等社交渠道上自拍時更好看。
Many plastic surgeons are no different. They feel it"s difficult to sell their services without looking like they"ve taken a dip in the fountain of youth themselves
許多整形外科醫生也不例外。如果不整形看起來很老的話，很難使顧客信服。
“One of the benefits of treating myself is I"m a walking billboard of my own work,” plastic surgeon Lorrie Klein, M.D., said in a 2015 interview with Real Self magazine. “I"m proud of my artistry and like to show it off. What nature didn"t give me or what age has taken away, I can frequently fix.”
2015年，整形外科醫生Lorrie Klein在接受《真實自我》雜志的采訪時表示，“接受過手術的我就是人形的廣告牌。我為自己的藝術而感到自豪，大自然缺少我的，時間拿走的，我都可以自己彌補。”
小編寄語：愛美之心人皆有之，不管是什么人群，總是喜歡自己變的更加完美，加上有些整形可以說是彌補自己。（文章來源：中華整形大典）
