Social media has changed the way we live our lives. While much of its original purpose was to connect people, it has evolved into something much more. People turn to their social media accounts for all types of reasons, but now more than ever, people use it as a resource to find a top-rated plastic surgeon.
The “Dolls” of social media
A new trend has started on Instagram where cosmetic surgery patients create private accounts to review plastic surgeons, their nurses, hospitals, and recovery houses. Often times they refer to themselves as “dolls”, naming themselves after their doctor, such as “Doctorsnamedoll”.
These “dolls” host private accounts, usually on Instagram, and post before, during, and after photos of their surgery. Users can find women, or men, with the same body build and similar features as them as a way to get a glimpse of what their potential surgery would be like.
While this can be a great resource of information for those looking into plastic surgery, users must also be aware that not everything you see is accurate.
Many of these accounts can be reliable as far as reviews of a surgeon go, but as with any social media platform, you may only be seeing part of the truth. Some of these “dolls” are paid for reviews. Whether it be in free surgery or money, it skews the reviews you see online, not to mention the capabilities of photoshop.
The positives of social media
While much of the information seen online isn’t 100% accurate or backed up by science, many users and “dolls” have formed strong supportive communities. These users and “dolls” have called out bad surgeons for malpractice and made their stories heard. Others have reached out to support those currently recovering from surgery who may be struggling with some of the speed bumps of recovery and bonded over their own struggle.
It has opened up a door to show the sides of plastic surgery that not everyone thinks about when considering a plastic surgeon. The community aspect is a major benefit of these “doll” accounts and many of them prove to be supportive of one another.
Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery has been helping patients find the best plastic surgery approach for them for years. We advise patients on what is appropriate for their individual situation and discuss any questions they have so that they have a good understanding of what to expect before the procedure. We strive to provide the best results possible so that our patients leave satisfied and feel more confident about themselves.
If you suffer from acne scars due to previous breakouts, Micro-needling with PRP can help reduce their appearance.
Micro-needling with PRP, sometimes referred to as a Vampire Facial, is a non-invasive procedure that helps minimize the appearance of scars and age spots, and also reduces the signs of aging.
Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), micro-needling with PRP uses a mechanical pen to make tiny channels at a precise depth in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing process, which creates new collagen and elastin. Unlike some other types of treatments, micro-needling has very few contraindications and is safe to use on all ethnicities and skin types with very little recovery time or side effects.
Some benefits of the micro-needling procedure can include:
Reduced appearance of scars
Minimized appearance of age spots and fine lines
Improvement in appearance of rosacea
Skin tone and texture of skin becomes firmer, and more even
New collagen and elastin produced
Reduced hyperpigmentation
Pore size shrunken
Reduced stretch marks
What is Involved in a Micro-needling with PRP Procedure?
First, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is obtained by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm into a sterile tube and then separated out from the other elements of the blood using a centrifuge. The PRP is applied topically to your face during and after the micro-needling procedure, which penetrates the top layer of skin without damaging it. PRP also speeds up the healing process. Learn more about micro-needling fromThe American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Micro-needling with PRP will consistently trigger the skin’s repair process until your desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved. The procedure can take between 20-40 minutes with a recovery time of 4-6 days.
One PRP patient goes into further detail on what to expect after treatment:
“You leave the office with PRP on your face (it’s clear and looks like you’re walking around with a light gel facemask on). Your face is red right after the procedure, but I was able to pretty effectively cover the redness with makeup the day after.”
Consider Eyelid Surgery at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery
Are you sick of being told “You look tired”? Unhappy with the effects aging has had on your eye area? It may be time you considered eyelid surgery in the Washington, DC area.
