[20.08.03 Hemophilia Life] Are you still using a beauty filter? No more celebrity photos.

Recently, beauty apps that change one'sappearance to baby face or gender have become popular these days. There are noactive uploaders of photos on SNS who do not take selfies using filter apps. Asa result, more and more people decide to have plastic surgeries because of thedifference between their filtered looks and their actual looks.

According to a survey by the AmericanAcademy of Plastic Surgery, 13 percent of patients said "for betterselfies" in their surgical motivation in 2016, compared to 55 percent in 2017,this number is quadrupled. They say he decides to get plastic surgery byexpecting their ideal face rather than their current face.

Already in the medical community, it haseven been reported under the name of Snapchat Dysmorphia, which refers tosymptoms of dissatisfaction and obsession with seeing the gap between theimages taken through beauty apps and the actual appearance. In the past,patients who were about to have plastic surgery brought pictures of famouscelebrities and asked them to do it similarly, but more recently, they haveasked them to do it like their own photos.

"Since most of the changes through thebeauty app are based on one's face and most of the contents are changing facialfeatures, facial types and skin types, surgery and skin care are possible toachieve some goals.  "We can makechanges through relatively simple procedures such as Botox injections, liposuctions,lifting laser procedures, and elasticity injections, and we can have permanentand more definite results through eye correction, nose tip surgery, and facial contouringsurgery. "Lee Tae-hee, doctor of Faceline Plastic Surgery Clinic, said,"It is also a welcome phenomenon for plastic surgeons in that their facialfeatures are more so fixed than others, so even if they are not perfect, theycan be much closer to expectations than celebrity photos." Of course,there are cases where medical technology cannot keep up with them if they havebeen over-corrected.

However, "It is not good to havesurgery expectations based on your own photos of corrections. This is becausemost photos of corrections create large eyes and short lower face parts that donot match the face ratio, making faces difficult to come out naturally. A facethat cannot come out naturally means that it can look awkward when madeartificially," he said.

Doctor Lee Tae-hee said, "It isrecommended to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon when deciding onplastic surgery because your excessive expectations and desires can be ratherpoisonous and consequently unnatural and artificial."

Also, "Pictures of yourself modifiedwith a simple correction can help you set goals for surgery and give you goodresults. Excessive fantasies can be seen as much as using a beauty app, so it'sbetter to have a proper goal.
