Ladies, how far would you go to take the perfect ‘selfie’? For some, flawless make up is all that is needed. For others, the perfect camera angle or lighting is all they require.
But for 38-year-old Los Angeles native, Triana Lavey, plastic surgery was her solution to taking the perfect selfies. Because she allegedly hated the way she looked in Instagram and Facebook photos, she opted for $15,000 worth of cosmetic surgery procedures on her face. She got a nose job, chin implant, and cheek-defining fat grafts.
Defending her drastic decision to go under the knife, she says, ”Your social media presence is just as important as your real-life presence. It’s a legitimate form of promoting yourself…Not everyone is born beautiful and if you can get a little help from a nip-tuck then more power to you.”
When asked as to what exactly prompted her to take such an extreme step, Triana explained that her obsession to look perfect was fuelled by the overwhelming rise of social media over the last few years.
“It skews our perception of how we should look I think it’s making ourselves hold ourselves to a higher unrealistic standard.
“When you do see a picture of yourself hanging out, your instinct is, “oh I wish I were tanner or not wrinkled” or “wish this” and this is a natural response due to the culture we’re gearing towards,” she was quoted saying.
She also added that not everyone is born beautiful and a nip and tuck wouldn’t harm anyone.
The ever-increasing obsession with selfies is now leading to an increase in young people seeking cosmetic surgery, experts express fear.
The viral rise of mobile phone pictures taken by oneself, coupled with an obsession with celebrity lifestyle has led to the creation of unrealistic notions of reality, they say.
A new research has shown that one in three plastic surgeons in the US has reported an increase in the number the under-30s willing to go under the knife, especially from ‘patients being more self-aware of looks in social media’.
In the US, selfie pressure is now a common trend and has led to a ten per cent rise in nose jobs and seven per cent in hair transplants.
Can you go under knife just for a selfie,lets hear your thoughts.
