I visit the plastic surgery department once every three months, and I am keen on the pain and thinking of medical beauty.
"Dad, are you ready?" At the beginning of June, a series of copywriting appeared in an advertisement of a medical beauty client to warm up the newly launched "Double Eyelid Festival". This advertisement, which blew up the elevator, also caused widespread controversy because of the encouragement to young medical beauty practitioners implied by the word "Dad".
According to the analysis of the 2018 medical beauty industry white paper released by a medical beauty service platform, among every 100 medical beauty consumers in China, there are 19 "post-00", and the momentum of starting medical beauty consumption after 00 is stronger than that after 90. In 2019, the proportion of medical and beauty consumers under the age of 19 in China has reached 15.48%.
There are indications that the plastic surgery population is gradually becoming younger. Then, why did "after 00" choose cosmetic surgery early? What is the significance of plastic surgery for them? Is it necessary to have plastic surgery at a young age? Qianjiang evening news reporter conducted an investigation on this.
In plastic surgery, minors often appear accompanied by their parents.
Engaged in plastic surgery for four years, every winter and summer vacation, Liu Jun, a plastic surgeon in a 3A hospital in Hangzhou, will witness the peak of student gathering. "Almost every month, 60 or 70 students come for cosmetic surgery, accounting for 30%~40%."
"Most of them are high school graduates. Because they are about to enter the university, they hope to meet a new life and a new social circle with a better self." In recent years, the demand for medical beauty of high school graduates has been increasing year by year. Liu Jun understands their mentality, but from time to time he will meet several young medical beauticians who are at a loss.
"Campus Beauty" Trouble: Am I not very pretty?
The girl opposite talked about her various facial defects without thinking. But Liu Jun clearly saw that her face was white and beautiful, her skin was transparent and full, and her facial features were correct. He silently scored 95 points for the girl’s face value.
The girl’s name is Fangfang, 15 years old, and she is in Grade Three. She looks in the mirror frequently every day, makes "ugly" comments on herself distorted in her mind countless times, and consults medical beauty everywhere at any cost.
Finally, one summer, Fangfang, accompanied by her mother, sat in front of Liu Jun.
Liu Jun clearly saw that the girl’s eyes revealed a desire for change — — "My palate is leaning forward. Can I push it back?"
After entering the door, Fangfang’s mother just stood by without saying a word, smiling helplessly at Liu Jun.
"You are beautiful, there is no need to fix it." Liu Jun interrupted Fangfang’s words and directly denied her biased cognition of herself.
"You see, that’s what doctors say." At this time, the mother on the side spoke the first sentence, "I have been persuading for a long time before, but my daughter just doesn’t believe it."
In fact, because of her outstanding appearance, Fangfang, the "school flower", has always attracted much attention. But since entering junior high school, I heard someone say that another girl in other classes is more beautiful than herself. Fangfang has been dissatisfied with her appearance since then and started all kinds of strange behaviors.
"She is very demanding about her appearance and will constantly exaggerate her shortcomings. It is likely that there is a problem at the psychological level." After rejecting Fangfang’s plastic surgery idea, Liu Jun also made suggestions to the girl’s mother — — Pay attention to children’s psychological state.
A boy who visits the plastic surgery department once every three months
In the plastic surgery department where Liu Jun is located, Kobayashi, a boy under the age of 20, is also a frequent visitor. "Almost every quarter, he will come once, and the needs are different every time. In addition to me, many doctors also took care of him. "
Kobayashi is well-behaved, but he has been particularly concerned about his appearance since high school, and he can constantly find new defects. When he was still in high school, Kobayashi had a mandibular osteotomy in another hospital.
"Because of grinding, he has produced new dissatisfaction. Come to me for consultation six months after the operation. " Liu Jun said, "The boy’s mother also took great pains to greet me in advance alone, hoping that I would persuade her son."
Liu Jun successfully persuaded Xiaolin to go home, but half a year later, Xiaolin’s mother found the door again. "My son has been good for a while, but now he is entangled again."
Although Liu Jun repeatedly persuaded him not to have plastic surgery, Kobayashi always insisted on changing it, but he couldn’t tell the purpose and reason. "Because he paid too much attention to his appearance, he couldn’t concentrate on his studies. He only read until he graduated from high school." Liu Jun guessed that he might be psychologically hit by reasons such as lovelorn love. The best solution is not to find a plastic surgeon like Liu Jun..
"Go to the mental health department." In the face of young medical beauticians, Liu Jun often makes such suggestions.
Continue to write your own aesthetic mother on your children’s faces.
For cosmetic surgery, sometimes the young "post-00" will disagree with their families. "Some children really want to do it, and parents feel that it is unnecessary; There are also some children who have not yet formed aesthetics, but parents impose their own ideas on their children. "
"The child is still young, why do you want to cut her double eyelids?" Engaged in medical beauty for 28 years, Zhang Jufang, director of the medical beauty department of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University, met such a small patient for the first time — — Xiao Min, a 13-year-old junior high school girl.
"I think her eyes are not good-looking, and girls should have a pair of beautiful big eyes." Xiao Min’s mother said.
Zhang Jufang looked at Mandy sitting next to her. She listened to the conversation between adults with a puzzled expression on her face. Xiaomin knows nothing about plastic surgery. She only knows, "Mom asked me to do it, and I will do it."
After hearing Xiaomin’s answer, Zhang Jufang refused the operation. "The child didn’t ask for it herself. This operation is meaningless to her. Parents can’t make decisions for their children with their own aesthetics. " She told Xiaomin’s mother that she should decide whether to make facial adjustment after Xiaomin became an adult and formed her own aesthetic view.
Liu Jun also met a similar mother and daughter.
"As soon as I entered the door, the girl’s mother eagerly told me that her daughter’s eyes were ugly and her nose was ugly … … It doesn’t look good anywhere. "
Liu Jun remembers that it was an ordinary-looking high school girl who did have some defects, but the girl herself didn’t care about her appearance. "This mother’s mentality is a bit abnormal and she insists on plastic surgery for her children."
Plastic surgeons suggest:
Minors should not choose medical beauty.
Children’s psychology needs more attention.
"One of the most important tasks of plastic surgery clinics is to screen people and understand their plastic surgery purposes clearly." Liu Jun said with emotion, "Some children, we look normal, but they may be distorted in his eyes. In fact, this is a mental disorder and a kind of psychological paranoia. Plastic surgery can’t cure their mental illness. "
For young medical beauticians, double eyelid cutting and rhinoplasty are the most popular cosmetic items. According to the data released by a medical beauty service platform, "post-00" has quickly taken over from "post-90" and become a big consumer of medical beauty in double eyelid surgery.
Zhang Jufang also disagreed with the "66 Double Eyelid Festival" launched for the medical beauty service platform. "This is a marketing tool that sells double eyelids as products." Zhang Jufang said that double eyelids are an operation, not an assembly line product, and cannot be mass-produced. "It is not advisable to set a double eyelid festival, carry out large-scale promotion and encourage everyone to do double eyelids."
"Choosing medical beauty for younger people, from a clinical point of view, we are mainly based on two considerations." Zhang Jufang said, "Some children have congenital defects, such as cleft lip and palate. Performing cosmetic surgery for children can help him build confidence from an early age; Others are to make up for children’s psychological trauma and eliminate inferiority complex. For example, some girls have black hair moles on their faces and are teased by classmates. "
For young medical beauty practitioners, Liu Jun suggested, "We should wait until adulthood and establish a mature aesthetic view before considering this matter."
Zhang Jufang also believes that "minors should not choose medical beauty, and parents can’t ask their children for plastic surgery for their own needs. College students need to establish correct values and aesthetics, and they can pursue beauty, but not blindly. If you really want plastic surgery, you should also go to a regular hospital or medical beauty institution to communicate directly with doctors and listen to professional advice. "
