Millennials Obsessed With Pictures On The Social Media Seek Plastic Surgery For Better Selfies
Millennials are becoming over-interested in selfies, and might get addicted to "celebrity culture", said Oklahoma City's Own News 9.
Born between 1981 and 1997, millenials seem to be obsessed about "themselves, fame and technology".
By putting up photographs of their faces and lives on social media sites they seem to be seen as self-portraits of their popularity and net worth. Kim Kardashian, too, who seems deeply interested in selfies, appears to be promoting this culture, say the experts.
"It's kind of just become like our own brand. We take pictures of what we wear, where we eat, what we do, when we do it," millennial Sabina Vanegas told CBS New York.
Melissa Jimenez, another millennial kid said, "I think it does put a lot more pressure because there's a bunch of photos taken of you. You just have to look good all the time."
Another worrying step seems to be the support given to plastic surgery makeovers. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Nikolov claimed that "more clients are coming to him because they are completely consumed by their self image".
"I see a lot more people coming to my office and the answer to the question, 'What bothers you, and why did you decide to come and see me?' surprising enough is, 'I saw a selfie of myself and I hate it, I have to fix it,'" Dr. Nikolov told CBS New York.
Twenty-something Kasey Bryant explained: "The personal celebrity is definitely a relevant thing that's happening. When someone likes your photo and someone shares or comments it's definitely a boost to you."
Trying to boost their image on their social media sites, millennials are trying to use plastic surgery to improve their selfies. Dr. Nikolov advised 23-year-old model Candice Wurster, who hated her dark-rimmed eyes put up on social media sites.
Psychologist Sandy Hotchkiss also felt that the youth is getting addicted to selfies. "Our values lean toward the shallow end of the value pool where things like physical beauty and material success are more important than things like compassion, courage, and kindness," Hotchkiss said.
