Updated | By tanstan fourie
Has social media changed your image of yourself? Do find yourself retouching your pictures before posting them on a social media platform? The statistics are shocking, take a look.
Have you changed your looks (not as drastic as surgery) to look more appealing on Facebook?
Natarah says she has friends who will NOT post a picture up on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram before touching it up on a photo editor on their phones.
A survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that one in three plastic surgeons saw an increase in people wanting facial procedures so they could look better online.
Patients, mostly those under 30, are the ones asking for facial procedures 'so they can look better in online photos.'
Doctors reported seeing:
A 10% rise in nose jobs, a 7% rise in hair transplants and a 6% rise in eyelid surgery in young people wanting to look better online
Women are more likely to ask for face and eye lifts whereas men want to keep their hair and fight wrinkles
More and more young clients are coming to them for plastic surgery because they want to look good in selfies on their various social media accounts.
Natarah discovered the following videos illustrating how Photoshop can completely transform a person. You will never believe how the model in the video first looked:
