背景：接受整容手术的非裔美国人数量正在增加。尽管如此，作者假设，追求某些整容手术的非裔美国患者仍然有与白人患者不同的先入为主的观念和担忧，因此需要不同的手术策略。采用问卷调查的方法来确定非裔美国患者对眶周年轻化的担忧、期望和愿望，并将这些结果与白种人患者的结果进行比较。方法：联系了 105 名非裔美国女性受试者和 30 名隶属于高级外科医生美容诊所的白种人女性受试者。其中，85 名非裔美国人和 26 名白人受试者接受了 18 个标准化问题的调查。根据年龄和种族对患者进行分层，以剖析眼部整形手术的代际和民族学概念以及非裔美国人眼睑的特征。白种人受试者作为对照组。结果：在非裔美国人受试者中，85.9%的人对整容持赞成或中立的态度，72.9%的人认为整容手术并非白人的专利。近一半接受采访的非裔美国受试者将非裔美国人的眼眶周围特征与亚洲人进行了比较，而只有 19.2% 的白种人受试者承认非裔美国人的这种相似性。结论：这项研究表明，有必要采用定向眼睑成形术来帮助非裔美国患者实现保持种族身份同时恢复外表的愿望。
Background:The number of African Americans pursuing cosmetic plastic surgery is increasing. Nonetheless, the authors postulate that the African American patients pursuing certain cosmetic procedures still have preconceived notions and concerns distinct from their Caucasian counterparts, thereby demanding a different surgical strategy. A questionnaire approach was used to determine the concerns, expectations, and desires of African American patients regarding periorbital rejuvenation and to compare these outcomes with those of Caucasian patients.Methods:One hundred five African American female subjects and 30 Caucasian female subjects affiliated with the senior surgeon’s cosmetic practice were contacted. Of these, 85 African American and 26 Caucasian subjects were administered a survey of 18 standardized questions. Patients were stratified in terms of age and race to dissect generational and ethnologic concepts toward oculoplastic surgery and features of the African American eyelid. The Caucasian subjects served as the control group.Results:Of the African American subjects, 85.9 percent had a favorable or neutral opinion of plastic surgery, and 72.9 percent did not feel plastic surgery was exclusively for Caucasians. Nearly half of all African American subjects interviewed likened African American periorbital characteristics to those of Asians, whereas only 19.2 percent of Caucasian subjects acknowledged such similarities in African Americans.Conclusions:This study demonstrates the idea that a directed approach to blepharoplasty is necessary to help African American patients achieve their desire to maintain their ethnic identity while rejuvenating their appearance.
