What women are prepared to do for attractive Christmas selfies?

Christmas is coming and thousands of women worldwide are preparing for the celebration. Each woman wants to be attractive, especially during the time of festivities. That’s why they undergo different cosmetic procedures months before to improve their appearance to Christmas eve.

Because a lot of photos are taken during the holidays, women prefer facial cosmetic procedures. According to the Bookimed statistics, the most popular female plastic surgery is liposuction. However, facial aesthetic procedures like anti-aging, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), nose job (rhinoplasty) and a facelift also boost in popularity.

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the world’s largest specialized association for facial plastic operations, conducted a study to identify the main motives that encourage women to change their appearance.

As a result, it turned out that in 2018, the tendency to go under the surgeon’s knife is rapidly increased to get better on selfies. 55% of patients noted that successful selfies were the desired outcome of the operation as well as skin rejuvenation. In contrast, in 2016, only 13% of women called a beautiful photo of the desired result of facial surgery. According to AAFPRS, this trend continues to grow rapidly.

The Bookimed medical team has analyzed thousands of requests and identified the most popular aesthetic procedures among women.
