In any given month, Delhi-based cosmetic surgeon Dr Anup Dhir gets about 25 customers who want him to do one thing: make their selfies picture perfect.
Requests from his clientele, which varies across age groups, range from 'skin peeling' for skin colour enhancement to 'fish lips', a lip augmentation procedure which makes thin lips look shapely.
“The problem with selfies is that they are done with a flat lens, not with a high focal length lens, so facial features are not that pleasing. The profile of cameras is changing and people end up taking 7-8 photos every day, just for posting,“ says Dr Dhir, a Delhi-based cosmetic surgeon. “The pressure of posting on social media is definitely very high,“ he adds.
