The Middle East has a significant influence on the global aesthetic market. Within the United States and globally, patients with Middle Eastern heritage have a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds that affect their perceptions of beauty and motivations to seek cosmetic treatment.
The aim of this roundtable was to discuss similarities and differences in anatomy and treatment preferences of Middle Eastern patients and explore how these differences may influence aesthetic practices.
PATIENTS/METHODS: In support of clinicians who wish to serve a diverse patient population, a 6-part international roundtable series focused on diversity in aesthetics was conducted from August 24, 2021, to May 16, 2022.
The results of the fourth roundtable in the series, the Middle Eastern Patient, are described here. A discussion of treatment preferences is included, and specific procedural information is provided for commonly treated areas in this population (forehead, infraorbital area, and jawline).
Middle Eastern patients have a variety of aesthetic preferences, which are influenced by a wide range of cultural backgrounds, making it difficult to develop general statements about this demographic. There is an unmet need for research into this diverse group of patients to help physicians understand and incorporate their unique needs and desires into clinical practice.
中东地区对全球美容市场有着重大影响。在美国乃至全球范围内，具有中东血统的患者有着广泛的种族和文化背景，这些背景影响着他们对美的认知以及寻求美容治疗的动机。
本次圆桌会议的目的是讨论中东患者在解剖结构和治疗偏好方面的异同，并探讨这些差异如何影响美容实践。
患者/方法：为了支持希望服务于多样化患者群体的临床医生，于2021年8月24日至2022年5月16日举办了一个由6部分组成的聚焦美学多样性的国际圆桌会议系列。
这里描述了该系列第四场圆桌会议“中东患者”的结果。其中包括对治疗偏好的讨论，并针对该人群常见治疗部位（额头、眶下区域和下颌轮廓）提供了具体的手术信息。
中东患者有多种美学偏好，这些偏好受到广泛文化背景的影响，因此很难对这一人群做出一般性的表述。对于这一多样化患者群体的研究存在未满足的需求，以帮助医生理解并将他们独特的需求和愿望纳入临床实践。
