American society's feminine ideal has consistently emphasized youth as beauty and getting old as ugly. Feeling unattractive produces several intrapsychic conflicts leading to depression and anxiety. Summary of the literature on beauty and aging, beauty and culture, and theories of physical beauty will be presented. With a clinical example of a female patient, the writer investigates the conscious and unconscious fantasies, conflicts, and sense of self inside and outside that impelled a physically beautiful female patient to bring her own body closer to her perception of idealized beauty with the aid of plastic surgery.
美国社会对女性美的理想标准一直强调青春即美，衰老即丑。感觉自己缺乏魅力会引发多种内心冲突，进而导致抑郁和焦虑。本文将概述关于美与衰老、美与文化以及身体美的理论的文献。通过一位女性患者的临床案例，作者探究了促使一位外表美丽的女性患者借助整形手术使自己的身体更接近其理想化美感的内在和外在的有意识及无意识幻想、冲突和自我认知。
