ARE SELFIES MAKING MORE PEOPLE WANT FACIAL SURGERY?

Social media has taken the Internet world by storm. We are constantly uploading images of ourselves and making updates about our lives. Among one of the most popular photo angles is the selfie. Now more than ever, we are taking numerous photos that include plenty of close-ups of our faces, and there are many filters available to “touch-up” our look before posting a photo. Many people are seeing how simple characteristic transformations can provide them with an improved, more youthful appearance. It seems the spike in the selfie trend has increased demand for facial plastic surgery.

It’s Time To Forget The Filter!

If you are tired of camera filters and would rather see real-time results, you may want to consider undergoing a facial procedure. There are many options we provide that can be individually designed to fit your specific needs.

Achieve More Rested and Younger-Looking Eyes

The eyes reveal a lot about a person, especially their age. Over time, a person may experience loss of skin elasticity that causes sagging or hooding around the eyes. Eyelid surgery is an ideal procedure that is performed to remove excess skin and tissue from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Patients can achieve eyelids that look more rested and open to achieve youthful, rejuvenated eyes.

Lift and Pull Back Sagging Skin

Gravity and aging eventually cause the skin to lose elasticity and develop facial sagging, wrinkles, deep vertical lines, and fine horizontal lines. Facelift surgery is an ideal procedure for lifting and pulling back the facial skin to rejuvenate and refresh the face. Dr. Perez-Gurri or Dr. Garcia can address the neck, jowls, nasolabial creases, and cheeks when performing facelift surgery. Patients can achieve dramatic results that look natural.

Reshape and Resize the Nose

The nose is in the center of the face, and even slight deformities can affect the entire facial harmony. Many people opt for rhinoplasty to change the size and/or shape of the nose. Dr. Perez-Gurri can alter the nose size, width, and profile, remove visible humps on the nose, address the nasal tip, and reduce the size of the nostrils during rhinoplasty. Patients can achieve an aesthetically pleasing nose that, instead of standing out, blends in with the other facial features.

Get Rid of Crow’s Feet and Forehead Wrinkles

Some of the most common telltale signs of aging are wrinkles along the forehead, crow’s feet (fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes), and wrinkles between the eyebrows. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical option for correcting the appearance of these fine lines and wrinkles that form as a result of the natural aging process. Containing a protein derived from botulinum toxin type A, BOTOX® Cosmetic works by inhibiting the facial muscles from contracting and causing wrinkles. Full results are seen within a week and can last from four to six months.

If you want to look good in selfies without filters or photo editing, you may be a perfect candidate for one or a combination of our facial procedures.
