'It seems no one is using a mirror anymore but rather taking selfies...Little do they know that selfies actively mislead people about how they look,' writes facial cosmetic surgeon Novasurgicare for usatodayopinion
Daria HamrahAre you worried by the difference you see when you look in the mirror and when you scroll through your camera roll? It turns out you are not alone. Today, more than ever, I'm approached by young adults and millennials seeking facial cosmetic procedures. This trend, fueled by social media and selfies, is increasing — and that is not necessarily a reason for excitement for surgeons like me.
That just means people are trying to look like the best versions of themselves and are seeking ways to stay young and healthy, right? Well, that's not entirely the case anymore.Today, facial rejuvenation is not the only reason why patients seek my services. Surgeons around the nation are noticing a gradual increase in the number of patients requesting the correction of minor flaws with very specific requests guided by the interpretation of their “selfies.
Instead, they refer to a selfie taken at an unnatural angle and at arm's length that completely distorts their appearance. It seems no one is using a mirror anymore but rather taking selfies to search for supposed flaws they can fixate on. This is largely fueled by constant comparisons of one’s selfies on social media with thousands of others in the game of who shot the best angle and who is getting the most “likes.
The requests range anywhere from complete facial rejuvenation like face-lifts, laser skin resurfacing, nose jobs and eyelid lifts, to nonsurgical “pre-juvenative” treatments like Botox and skin care for wrinkle reduction or fillers to balance their facial contours or pout up the lips. Of course, each procedure is performed in moderation and customized to the patient’s needs and ideals, but identifying the right motivation is the art.
