The use of a patient's image in plastic surgery is common today. Thus, plastic surgeons should master the use of the image and be aware of the implications of the patients' perception of themselves. The mere-exposure effect is a psychological phenomenon in which a person tends to rate things more positively merely because (s)he is familiar with them. Faces are asymmetric, so faces in photos are different from those observed in mirrors. The main objective of this study was to assess whether patients within a plastic surgery population, particularly those undergoing facial aesthetic surgery, preferred standard photographs or mirror-reversed photographs of themselves.
A prospective study was conducted in a plastic surgery department, which included women who were admitted to the hospital the day before their procedures. The patients were separated into the following two groups: Group 1 was composed of patients who were undergoing facial aesthetic surgeries, and Group 2 consisted of other patients who presented to the plastic surgery department for surgery. The patients were required to rate their appreciation of their own faces and to choose between standard and mirror-reversed photos of themselves.
A total of 214 patients participated. The median age was 47.9 years (interquartile range (IQR): 36.4-60.6), and the median face appreciation was 5 (IQR: 5-7). The preference for the mirror-reversed photograph was significantly different from chance (p < 0.001, binomial (214, 156, 0.5)); 73% of the patients preferred the mirror-reversed photographs. The proportions of patients who preferred the mirror-reversed photograph differed significantly (p = 0.047) between Groups 1 (84%) and 2 (70%).
Plastic surgery patients have a significant preference for mirror-reversed photographs of themselves over standard photographs. This preference is even more pronounced among patients who are undergoing facial aesthetic surgery.

如今，在整形手术中使用患者的图像很常见。因此，整形外科医生应掌握图像的使用方法，并了解患者对自身看法的影响。单纯曝光效应是一种心理现象，即一个人仅仅因为熟悉某些事物就倾向于对其给予更积极的评价。面部是不对称的，所以照片中的脸与镜子中看到的脸不同。本研究的主要目的是评估整形手术人群中的患者，尤其是那些接受面部美容手术的患者，更喜欢自己的标准照片还是镜像反转照片。
在一个整形外科科室进行了一项前瞻性研究，纳入了手术前一天入院的女性患者。患者被分为以下两组：第1组由接受面部美容手术的患者组成，第2组由到整形外科进行其他手术的患者组成。要求患者对自己面部的喜爱程度进行评分，并在自己的标准照片和镜像反转照片之间进行选择。
共有214名患者参与。中位年龄为47.9岁（四分位间距（IQR）：36.4 - 60.6），面部喜爱程度的中位数为5（IQR：5 - 7）。对镜像反转照片的偏好与随机情况有显著差异（p < 0.001，二项分布（214, 156, 0.5））；73%的患者更喜欢镜像反转照片。第1组（84%）和第2组（70%）中更喜欢镜像反转照片的患者比例有显著差异（p = 0.047）。
整形手术患者对自己的镜像反转照片比对标准照片有明显的偏好。这种偏好在接受面部美容手术的患者中更为明显。
