The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency by which plastic surgery-related terms have been included in the lyrics of Western music hits from the 1970s to the present day as a proxy for estimating the cultural impact of plastic surgery. A list of the songs from 1968 to 2019 and the songs from 1970 to 2019 was obtained for a combined total of 8550 songs. Lyrics for each song were extracted via a web-scraping system, and a database of plastic surgery-related terms was developed by our team. Each term was then queried amongst the compiled lyrics data sets, and the total frequency of plastic surgery-related terms per year and per decade was determined. Each term was also examined in its context of usage to validate its relevance to plastic surgery and determine its connotation through sentiment analysis. The frequency of plastic surgery-related terms referenced in the and charts has increased 15-fold from the 1970s (n = 1 song) to 2010s (n = 15 songs). The terms most often mentioned included "doctor," "silicone," "plastic," "surgery," "nip-tuck," and "lipo." Artists who most frequently used plastic surgery-related terms were Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and Nicki Minaj. The current study is the first to evaluate trends in plastic surgery references in music formally. In turn, this study helps further our understanding of the interplay between plastic surgery and popular culture.
本研究的目的是评估从20世纪70年代至今，西方流行音乐热门歌曲歌词中包含整形手术相关词汇的频率，以此作为估计整形手术文化影响的一个指标。获取了1968年至2019年以及1970年至2019年的歌曲列表，总计8550首歌曲。通过网络抓取系统提取每首歌曲的歌词，并由我们的团队建立了一个整形手术相关词汇数据库。然后在汇总的歌词数据集中查询每个词汇，并确定每年和每十年整形手术相关词汇的总出现频率。还对每个词汇的使用语境进行了研究，以验证其与整形手术的相关性，并通过情感分析确定其内涵。在排行榜中提到的整形手术相关词汇的频率从20世纪70年代（n = 1首歌曲）到21世纪10年代（n = 15首歌曲）增加了15倍。最常提到的词汇包括“医生”“硅胶”“塑料”“手术”“抽脂去皱手术”和“抽脂”。最频繁使用整形手术相关词汇的艺术家是坎耶·维斯特、2 Chainz和妮琪·米娜。本研究是首次正式评估音乐中整形手术相关内容的趋势。相应地，本研究有助于进一步加深我们对整形手术与流行文化之间相互作用的理解。
