据医美平台“更美App”发布的《2020医美行业白皮书》显示,医美消费主体80后占比23%,90后占比21%,95后和00后分别占比35%和18%,远高于仅占比3%的70后及以前。在一家整形医院负责导医工作人员说:“年轻人选择隆鼻、双眼皮等项目来提升颜值已不是秘密。热玛吉、玻尿酸、激光嫩肤等轻医美成为日常护肤选择。”有人为颜值买单,有人整形上瘾。但值得注意的是,整形行业的火爆难掩背后的风险——各类医美机构野蛮生长,行业乱象不时爆出。医美广告真假难辨,困扰医美行业的还有致命问题:非医疗美容场所从事医疗美容治疗、非正规培训的专业医师执业、非合格的医疗美容产品使用等“三非”乱象。而这些乱象都可能给年轻人带来伤害。“整形存在一定风险。年轻人误入黑医院而遭遇毁容的消息比比皆是。在追求美的路上需要谨慎。”

Hannah Tang, a company manager in Beijing, first went under the knife when she was 18. The surgeon made an incision across each of her eyelids, then stitched folds of skin back to transform her monolids into “double eyelids”. The result was eyes that look bigger, rounder, and in Ms Tang’s opinion, more beautiful. Now 35, Ms Tang (not her real name) has since had two more eyelid surgeries, as well as botox injections in her neck and monthly non-invasive “skin booster” treatments. “Pretty much everyone I know around me has had fillers or surgery,” she says.
唐汉娜是北京一家公司的经理,她第一次接受整容手术是在18岁。外科医生在她的每一个眼睑上开了一个切口,然后缝合皮肤皱褶,把她的单眼皮变成了“双眼皮”。这样做的结果就是眼睛看起来更大更圆,在唐女士看来,也更漂亮。现年35岁的唐女士(化名)自那以后又做了两次眼皮手术,颈部注射肉毒杆菌,每月还进行无创“皮肤水光”治疗。她说:“我身边认识的人几乎都做过填充或手术。”

China’s cosmetic-surgery market is booming. Some analysts think it is now the world’s biggest. In 2019 the Chinese “medical-aesthetics” industry (which includes surgery, injections and skin treatments) had revenue of $27bn, around one-fifth of the global total, estimates Deloitte, a consultancy. It reckons the average annual rate of growth in China’s market between 2015 and 2019 was 29%, compared with a global average of around 9%. By 2023, Deloitte estimates revenue will reach $48bn.
中国的整容市场正蓬勃发展。一些分析家认为中国的整容市场是世界之最。据咨询公司德勤估计,2019年中国“医美”行业(包括手术、注射和皮肤治疗)的收入为270亿美元,约占全球总收入的五分之一。该公司估计,2015年至2019年,中国市场的年均增长率为29%,而全球平均增长率约为9%。德勤估计,到2023年,该收入将达到480亿美元。

Figures can be vague partly because “there is a huge hidden market” that goes unreported, says Yi Wu of Maastricht University in the Netherlands. For example Dongguan, a city in southern China, has over 6,000 unlicensed clinics but only 43 licensed ones. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has not included detailed data on China in its global reporting since 2011.
荷兰马斯特里赫特大学的吴毅说,数据可能并不准确,部分原因是“有一个巨大的隐藏市场”没有被报道。例如,中国南部城市东莞有6000多家无证诊所,但有证诊所只有43家。自2011年以来,国际美容整形外科学会就没有在其全球报告中包含关于中国的详细数据。
