"If you look good in Facebook, then how do you socialize?" This is the first line of online video, the light on what it says is a growing trend in India: Facebook facelifts.
"Facebook facelifts are relatively minor procedures that people between 20 and 30 years are to improve your photos in social media," plastic surgeon Dr. Ajay Kashyap says in the video, which was set up by canceling Mashable and other publications .
Facebook users Jasmeet Singh, who admits in the video that he was "looking for a companion through the most popular social network in the world wants to go for a liposuction because they say their Facebook friends, I should be thinner in Photos published on the site.
Singh is not alone in this quest for "Like" and much more. In the video speaks of the great Anuradha Facebook he received comments from friends and family after they got lasers and chemical peels work done on her face.
But this popularity has a price. During minor procedures such as Anuradha cost between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 ($ 500), chin augmentations, supposedly very popular with men to get rid of the dreaded double chin want, can cost more than Rs. one lakh ($ 2,000).
These high costs are no digital editing or "photoshop" your images an easier and cheaper way? Pooja, laser surgery to get rid of a "hit" made on the forehead, told to be scam. "You have to meet people in real life. If you do not see the same as in the picture, it is a kind of fake, right?"
The irony may have been lost in translation, but Dr. Anip Dhir, plastic surgeon, believes the trend will only continue to grow as more and more Indians get online and start using social networking sites.
