Plastic surgery and plastic surgical training programs are institutions rife with rewards. However, these rewards can be tempered by general physical and psychosocial stressors inherent to a surgical specialty. Although progress has been made in addressing the physical demands of training, less attention is given to the psychosocial and interpersonal challenges faced by plastic surgeons and trainees. Two key stressors are microaggressions and gaslighting. Microaggressions are generally unintentional but highly impactful expressions of bias, whereas gaslighting involves deliberate psychological manipulation. The purpose of our article is to explain the influence of microaggressions and gaslighting on plastic surgery providers. Most importantly, we aim to provide a framework for recognizing and addressing them professionally.
整形手术和整形外科学培训项目是充满回报的机构。然而，这些回报可能会受到外科专业固有的一般身体和心理社会压力源的影响。尽管在应对培训的身体要求方面已经取得了进展，但对于整形外科医生和学员所面临的心理社会和人际挑战关注较少。两个关键的压力源是微侵犯和煤气灯效应。微侵犯通常是无意的，但却是极具影响力的偏见表现，而煤气灯效应则涉及蓄意的心理操纵。我们文章的目的是解释微侵犯和煤气灯效应对外科整形从业者的影响。最重要的是，我们旨在提供一个专业地识别和应对它们的框架。
