Social media sites Facebook, Instagram (owned by Facebook), Twitter, and others have millions of self taken images for both the subject and the world to see. Add to that the online dating sites, and “looking’ good” has never been more popular.
The focus of the face should be on the eyes, the “windows to the soul.” Selfies, because they are by definition taken by the person in the image, are taken from bad angles which usually accentuate any minor facial flaw, drawing attention away from the subjects eyes. This leads patients to seek treatment of what bothers them on their selfie photo.
Whether it is something minor that is corrected non-invasively with a few units of Botox or a syringe of Voluma, or something that requires surgery such as rhinoplasty to remove a hump from the nose, or a mini-face/neck lift for the jowls and neck, the treatment should result in a natural appearance that returns the focus of the face to the subject’s eyes.
When choosing your facial plastic surgeon, take your time, do your due diligence, and make your decision based on their skill, experience, and most importantly their natural artistic vision.
As for my selfie above, fortunately there is a double standard in our society whereby men can get away with more aging, thus I will just perform and write about more facial plastic surgical procedures based on my selfie rather than seek treatment for that funny looking face. Be well!
