LA ERA DE LOS SELFIES

«Selfie: Una imagen de sí mismo tomada por sí mismo
utilizando un teléfono inteligente u otro dispositivo digital
por lo general con el propósito de subir a las redes
sociales.»
Algunos en nuestra sociedad ven demasiados selfies
como un toque de «narcisismo», mientras que otros lo ven
como algo de estos tiempos y son inofensivos.
Independientemente de sus vistas gracias a la emoción de
ser notado: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook y otras
plataformas similares a ellos están aquí para quedarse.
No sólo los jóvenes lo están haciendo.
Lo sorprendente sobre el arte de la auto-retrato es que no
sólo la generación del milenio lo encuentra atractivo.
Parece que personas de todas las edades y géneros
quieren verse bien en sus selfies y están dispuestos a ir a
cualquier sitio que los haga ver bien para obtener más “me
gusta”, seguidores y comentarios.
Nos guste o no, los selfies se están convirtiendo
rápidamente en una forma de vida para la gran mayoría
de la gente.
Pero ¿exactamente a qué están dispuestas las personas
para conseguir más seguidores, me gusta, compartir y
comentarios?
De acuerdo con la Academia Americana de Cirugía
Plástica y Reconstructiva, «Uno de cada tres cirujanos
plásticos dijeron haber visto un aumento en la demanda
de procedimientos faciales por los pacientes que querían
lucir mejor en línea. Los médicos informaron que entre
2012 y 2013 vieron un aumento del 10% en trabajos de la
nariz, un aumento del 7% en los trasplantes de cabello y
el un aumento del 6% en la cirugía de párpados».
Piense, ¿cirujanos plásticos están en esto por el dinero?
Muchos pueden tener la tentación de pensar que los
cirujanos plásticos realizarían operaciones sobre «¿el que
quiera que venga?» Pero esto en realidad no es cierto.
Mientras algunos médicos realizan procedimientos en
pacientes que entienden en lo que se están metiendo.
Muchos a su vez, transforman sus pacientes apenas éstos
cumplen 18 años, y otros lo hacen si sus pacientes llegan
a la oficina mostrándole selfies con sus teléfonos.
Doctores señalan que la visualización de ti mismo desde
un teléfono celular no es la mejor manera de determinar
cómo te ves. Tampoco es la mejor manera de mostrar tus
características.
¿Que hace a la población apelar mayormente a la cirugía
plástica?
Según las noticias de CBS, las mujeres siguen siendo los
principales clientes de la cirugía plástica – que representan
el 81% de todos los procedimientos y las inyecciones,
pero los hombres están cada vez más interesados en la
cirugía plástica. Mientras que las mujeres con más
frecuencia piden los estiramientos faciales y
levantamientos en los ojos, los hombres están más
interesados en mantener el cabello y luchar contra las
arrugas.
Mientras tanto, por debajo de los 35, el trabajo de la nariz
sigue siendo el procedimiento quirúrgico de elección más
popular para ambos sexos, lo que representa 90% de los
procedimientos en las mujeres y 86% en los hombres».
¿Qué se debe hacer para verse lo mejor posible en un
selfie?
Lo mejor que se puede hacer antes de tomar un selfie es
vestirse limpio y con un tono de maquillaje natural, jugar
con sus mejores características. Ser consciente de la
iluminación, y aprender a usar filtros.

Dr. Amjadi then trained in plastic surgery at the Texas Medical Center at the University of Texas.

    Is the clinic properly sterilized?

    We adhere to very strict safety, sterilization, and infection control protocols at the PARS clinic. Our dedicated and diligent staff members will protect you at all times.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

    In order to maintain high safety standards, we ask that you complete a thorough medical exam before we begin your procedures. With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
