Social Networks and the Rhinoplasty Patient —in Reply

In Reply We appreciate the valuable and thought-provoking comments by Pendolino and Ottaviano on our recent Viewpoint. We agree that social media exerts a powerful influence on peoples ’ lives and recognize that many social media users dedicate hours to crafting the perfect and unrealistic self-image to post on their personal accounts. Digital influencers with their unattainable photographs promote a concept of beauty and instigate their followers to seek a degree of perfection that may simply be unachievable and unhealthy.
