Background The demand for cosmetic procedures has increased significantly due to their positive effects on self-satisfaction. However, individuals often underestimate the potential complications associated with these procedures, driven by a strong desire for transformation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the Madinah community's awareness of cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery, as well as to assess the risks, complications, and clinical outcomes associated with these procedures. Materials and methods A non-probability consecutive sampling method was employed to select study participants, including every patient who met the inclusion criteria until the target sample size was reached, between March and June 2023. An intervener-based questionnaire survey was conducted to assess participant's understanding of the severity and associated risks of cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. The minimum required sample size was determined to be 82 using OpenEpi version 3 software. Data were analyzed using t-tests, chi-square tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) as appropriate. Results The study included 82 participants, with 48.80% aged between 18 and 30 years and only 3.7% of them were male. The majority were of Saudi nationality (86.60%). While most participants (82.9%) were aware of cosmetic procedures and their risks, 28% lacked knowledge about potential complications, highlighting a notable knowledge gap. Some of the participants reported underlying health conditions such as obesity (8.5%), diabetes (3.7%), asthma (3.7%), and hypertension (2.4%), along with family histories of hereditary diseases (37.8%) and allergies (15.9%). The most common complications were facial swelling (63.41%), bruising (51.22%), rashes (30.49%), and subcutaneous blood pooling (19.51%). Less frequent complications included infections (15.85%) and reduced facial expressions (9.76%). Conclusion The study revealed that most participants demonstrated an overall awareness of the potential complications associated with cosmetic procedures. The commonly recognized complications of cosmetic facial procedures included swelling, bruising, rash, subcutaneous blood pooling, and infection. However, no specific factors related to the planning of facelift procedures were identified.
背景 由于美容手术对自我满意度有积极影响，对其需求显著增加。然而，受强烈的转变愿望驱使，个体往往低估了与这些手术相关的潜在并发症。因此，本研究旨在评估麦地那社区对美容手术和整形手术的认知，以及评估与这些手术相关的风险、并发症和临床结果。
材料和方法 采用非概率连续抽样方法选择研究参与者，包括2023年3月至6月期间每一位符合纳入标准的患者，直至达到目标样本量。进行了一项基于干预者的问卷调查，以评估参与者对美容手术和整形手术的严重程度及相关风险的理解。使用OpenEpi 3版软件确定所需的最小样本量为82。根据情况使用t检验、卡方检验和方差分析（ANOVA）对数据进行分析。
结果 该研究包括82名参与者，其中48.80%的年龄在18至30岁之间，只有3.7%为男性。大多数为沙特国籍（86.60%）。虽然大多数参与者（82.9%）了解美容手术及其风险，但28%的人对潜在并发症缺乏了解，这凸显了一个明显的知识差距。一些参与者报告有潜在健康状况，如肥胖（8.5%）、糖尿病（3.7%）、哮喘（3.7%）和高血压（2.4%），以及遗传性疾病家族史（37.8%）和过敏家族史（15.9%）。最常见的并发症是面部肿胀（63.41%）、瘀伤（51.22%）、皮疹（30.49%）和皮下淤血（19.51%）。较不常见的并发症包括感染（15.85%）和面部表情减少（9.76%）。
结论 该研究表明，大多数参与者对与美容手术相关的潜在并发症有总体认识。美容面部手术常见的公认并发症包括肿胀、瘀伤、皮疹、皮下淤血和感染。然而，未发现与面部提升手术规划相关的具体因素。
