身体审美化将审美延伸至技术的领域，强化了身体审美改造的必要性；审美医学化则将医学的触角延伸至审美的范畴，为身体的审美化改造提供了技术可能。两种趋势的叠加，使得美容整形成为身体改造的重要技术。身体审美藉由完美的身体形象所呈现出来的难以企及的审美标准以及时时在变的身体审美潮流，使得整容的技术介入情有可原；同时整容作为侵入性手术，其隐含的健康风险和审美风险则可能催生新的身体改造需求，使得身体改造工程持续下去。值得指出的是，在急剧变迁的社会背景中，整容改变身体并非改变的终点，还有可能是藉由改变身体以改变生活的努力和技术。

The aestheticization of the body extends aesthetics to the field of technology and thus strengthens the necessity of the aesthetic transformation of the body; while the medicalization of aesthetics extends medicine to the aesthetic scope and provides the technical possibility for the aesthetic transformation of the body. The combination of these two trends makes aesthetic plastic surgery an important technology for body modification. With unattainable aesthetic standards presented by a perfect body image and constantly changing body aesthetic trends, the aestheticization of the body makes the medical intervention through aesthetic plastic surgery natural and reasonable. The potential health risks and aesthetic risks of aesthetic plastic surgery as an invasive surgery may lead to new demands for body modification and consequently makes the project continue. It’s worth pointing out that, in a rapidly changing social context, remaking body through aesthetic plastic surgery might not be the end of change, since it is probably instrumental for a life change.
