Turkey : ‘They come to make aesthetics with retouched selfie photos’

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Oygar Aytekin said that the desire to look attractive and beautiful in social media tools led people to make aesthetics and added: “Half of the participants in a survey conducted in 2017 stated that they applied ‘aesthetic surgery’ to look better in selfie photos. Probably this rate has increased today. The vast majority of patients who come to the examination for aesthetic surgery, especially the group between 20 and 25 years old, are consulted by bringing retouched selfie photos with them. ”

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Oygar Aytekin talked about the aesthetic trends that will mark 2020. Oygar Aytekin stated that the most prominent aesthetic applications in recent years are breast and nose aesthetics, and these applications will be among the most preferred this year.
Pointing out that there will be an increase in eyelid and scoop ear aesthetics, Aytekin said, “It can be seen as a reflection of the normalization and stigma flow developing in all applications, as well as genital aesthetics such as beautification of the vagina and vulva and penis thickening.”

He underlined that young people realize that not only the nose or cheek is important in their private life, but other sexual areas such as the breast are also very important.

Stating that the importance of hyaluronic acid saturation and PRP regeneration applications in skin quality will be understood in 2020, Aytekin said, “You cannot sew good clothes from poor quality fabric! Stretching surgeries do not improve skin quality. For this purpose, HA and PRP applications are inevitable. However, we see that the fears of thinking about facelift are getting less and less. It seems that we will never give up on choosing various fillings and botox. ”

MAKING AESTHETICS HAS NEVER BEEN POPULAR

Emphasizing that it is always important to look beautiful and attractive, Op. Dr. Oygar Aytekin continued his words: “In order to look beautiful, ‘being aesthetic’ was not so popular before. This is not only in our country, but in the whole world. In the past, we would care about some of our flaws as we see our documents or take our photos taken. Now we are constantly taking pictures with the phone we have and looking at them. How we look and comment on social media is very important. For this reason, aesthetics are very popular today. ”

Stating that it was important to look beautiful, attractive and impressive throughout history, Aytekin said: “When the characteristics of people find attractive and their reactions to these people, various criteria were determined and their sociological results were evaluated. In the light of these studies, we can say that attractive people are perceived as more intelligent and reliable in both their business and private lives, on average they receive higher salaries and are less unemployed. As a matter of fact, looking good and beautiful causes more positive connotations. When the socioeconomic situation of today is taken into consideration and the intensity of everyday life is added, the fact that every detail that gives advantages to people is valued gains normality. ”

SOCIAL MEDIA PRINTING AESTHETIC

Oygar Aytekin, who said that the environment created with social media tools leads people to have aesthetics, continued as follows: “Selfie madness causes the defects in the face and body to be noticed by everyone. These flaws are eliminated with various phone applications retouching applications, at least not to have problems with the comments; lips and cheeks are plump, ears are lying, nose is thinning up, even eyebrows grow and breasts are erect. As a result, a perfection that does not exist is exhibited. From this point on, the popularity and danger begin to walk side by side. ”

Stating that a search for perfection that does not exist will end in frustration, Op. Dr. Oygar Aytekin said, “In real life, social media and selfies are inevitable, there is an inevitable struggle between others who are“ fake ”with their current expression, and as a result, it seems that selfie wars will come out. Half of those who participated in a survey conducted in 2017 stated that they applied ‘plastic surgery’ to look better in selfie photos. Probably this rate has increased today. The vast majority of patients who come to the examination for aesthetic surgery, especially the group between 20 and 25 years old, are consulted by bringing retouched selfie photos with him. ” Stating that this frenzy will increase with time as social media follow-up age decreases, Aytekin said, “As stated in the World Health Organization’s definition of health,‘ being healthy requires not only being physically healthy, but also being peaceful and happy spiritually ”. However, it is not always correct to perform aesthetic surgery in age groups that have not yet fully grasped their personality traits and have not completed their psychological development ”.

FAMILIES SHOULD LIKE CHILDREN

Oygar Aytekin concluded his words as follows: “For example, the operation of a child with a scoop ear before school age is true in terms of psychological development, it is seen that it is wrong for body development to have nose surgery before 17-19 years of age. However, young people and adolescents may not know anything when they want something. Although we think that ‘ayran has appetite’, they can sometimes be overly insistent and even determined on such a subject. Families should show understanding on this issue and express to their children that they understand them very well. Taking the necessary steps for the examination and coming to the plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery specialist with their children will be a very nice approach in this regard. However, they should be able to control themselves during the interview with the surgeon and if possible wait outside during the interview. Anyway, a serious surgeon will guide you properly and inform your child that body development should be expected. The same is true for breast augmentation surgery. Although breast smallness can sometimes negatively affect the psychology of our young girls, 17 years of age will have to be expected. ”
