英国整形美容手术民意调研——女人们要什么

　　整形美容市场正经历着迅猛的扩张和快速的变化。作为英国同类型调研里最大规模的调研，本文旨在研究英国女性对于整形美容手术的动机和态度。五千名女性受访者完成了由一个独立的民意调查公司提供的在线整形美容手术调查。调查对象为年龄在16岁到56岁之间的英国女性。同时公司也对57名整形外科医生做了更为深入的调研，旨在确定医生对此的态度和做法。受访病人中，6.5%接受过美容手术，超过45%的人在资金允许的情况下，愿意接受一项整形美容手术。

　　超过半数以上的英国女性愿意选择乳房手术或腹部手术。92%的人表示手术医生应该提供初步诊断和咨询。75%的人则认为为其实施手术的医生应具有合格的资质或者认证机构的会员资格。66%的受访者声称他们从不会考虑在国外实施手术。英国整形美容手术市场巨大，而且有着继续增长的势头。尽管以护士为主轴的整形美容手术机构有所增加，公众似乎更希望由具有合格资质的外科医生提供咨询并实施手术。我们基于英国日新月异的整形美容市场大环境，来讨论本次大规模调研所发现的结果。

　　Abstract 摘要

　　The cosmetic surgery market is rapidly expanding and changing. This survey is the largest of its kind in the UK and aims to study the motivation and attitudes of UK women towards aesthetic surgery. Five thousand women completed an online cosmetic surgery survey undertaken by an independent polling company. Respondents' ages ranged from 16 to over 56 years old and they were recruited from all over the UK. A further survey of 57 plastic surgeons was undertaken to establish surgeons' attitudes and practices. Of the patient respondents, 6.5% had already had aesthetic surgery but over 45% would want to undergo a cosmetic operation if funds allowed.

　　Over half of these women would choose either breast or abdominal surgery. Ninety-two percent said the surgeon should provide the initial consultation. Seventy-five percent believed their surgeon should have a recognized qualification or membership of a recognized organization. Sixty-six percent claimed they would never consider surgery abroad. The UK cosmetic surgery market is large and is likely to continue to grow. Despite the rise of nurse-led cosmetic surgery companies, the public appear to want consultations and surgery to be performed by accredited surgeons. We discuss our findings from this large-scale survey in the context of the changing UK cosmetic surgery market.
