317: Are Instagram filters causing facial dysmorphia and driving people to seek surgery? - a podcast by Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS @beautybydrkay

Let's remove the Instagram filter off of how social media is affecting the field of aesthetics and the beauty standards within it. In this episode of Beauty Bytes: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, researcher, resident student, and partner with Cypris Medical Technology - Dr. Akash Chandawarkar and I discuss how everything has been morphed and filtered for both patients and the plastic surgeons due to expectations that have been transported from your Instagram feed to your surgeons' office. Patients are now trying to obtain the same photo-filter effects they find on Instagram, through fillers and lifts. The epidemic of unrealistic expectations is causing morphed standards within the field of aesthetics. The proper utilization of social media is key for both the patient and the plastic surgeon! Setting standards of realistic, achievable results starts with you! Listen in on this podcast for the importance of social media and future technological advanced that will reshape the way we can deliver results.
