Social Media Surgery Movement

Are you one of the trendy folks posting “selfies” all over social media? Or are you completely over everyone’s self-centered approach to online socializing? Either side of the spectrum, admit it, you’ve done it at least once! So how many “selfie” shots did you take before you found one that you deemed good enough to post? Well the new “selfie” generation’s photos are having more of an impact on us than we thought. Apparently there is a rise in plastic surgery as a result of seeing ourselves more often in social postings, and many of us don’t like what we see. Seeing what we look like in these candid moments and the imperfections that stand out is sending many of us running to the plastic surgeon.

Deemed “social media surgery,” plastic surgeon Dr. Milgrim (New Jersey) explained this trend in an interview with Beauty World News. “One third of facial plastic surgeons have seen an increase in patients due to how they are viewing themselves on these (online) sites… 26% of patients now come to a doctor for advice due to seeing their selfies online, creating a significant rise in demand for more procedures… Patients look at their pictures posted online… Due to more online presence with endless images, the need to fix these things becomes more palpable."

To this “selfie” generation, the doctor recommends starting with simple touch ups rather than complete makeovers that drastically change your face. Things such as Botox and other fillers are types of minimal treatments that can make those subtle changes to improve things people don’t like about their appearance. 

Facial rejuvenation procedures are among the most popular and sought after types of treatment. However, it can be very confusing and hard for patients to know what type of treatment is best suited for them and often many undergo cosmetic surgery procedures that are not optimal for them. For this same reason, it is very important to carefully choose a cosmetic surgeon that will explore the best options for treatment with you.
