Many people who do not come into contact with plastic surgery in their hospitals may be under the popular misconception that plastic surgeons spend their time fixing noses and altering the size of breasts. Well, yes they do, but only occasionally in the NHS: they are more likely to do this type of surgery in their private practice. I would like to try to alter perceptions of plastic surgery, partly because I am Sister in Charge of a busy Regional Plastic, Burns and Reconstructive Theatre Unit and, partly, because I firmly believe that the psychology of the small number of patients who do have rhinoplasties and breast or cosmetic surgery in the NHS needs to be accepted and understood by busy health care workers. I hope to show that cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is a very small part of what happens in plastic surgery today. To do this I have used Plastic Surgery in the British Isles, a plan for the rest of the 1990s and my own hospital consultant episodes for the year 1992/93 as my background information.
许多在医院里没有接触过整形手术的人可能普遍存在一种误解，认为整形外科医生整天都在做隆鼻和隆胸手术。嗯，没错，他们确实会做这些手术，但在英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）中只是偶尔做：他们更有可能在私人诊所做这类手术。我想尝试改变人们对整形手术的看法，部分原因是我是一个繁忙的地区整形、烧伤和重建手术室的护士长，部分原因是我坚信，在NHS中接受隆鼻、隆胸或美容手术的少数患者的心理需要忙碌的医护人员去接受和理解。我希望表明，美容手术只是当今整形手术中非常小的一部分。为了做到这一点，我以《英伦诸岛的整形手术》（20世纪90年代剩余时间的规划）以及我自己1992/93年在医院担任顾问期间的经历作为背景信息。
