It seems that the road to perfecting a selfie doesn’t stop at getting a perfect angle or perfect face. There is a rising trend among brides-to-be to cosmetically enhance their hands for that perfect “I said YES! And btw, check out my sparkly diamond ring!” photo update.
Apart from perfectly angled head shots, other popular types of selfies such as “OOTD” (outfit of the day) and “LOTD” (look of the day) brings attention to an individual’s fashion and makeup choices, and the increasingly popular engagement ring selfies which, disputably, aims to share happy news of soon-to-come wedding bells.
Finding Mr. Right is a great blessing in itself, and it’s an extra bonus if he’s financially able and willing to spend half or more of his paycheck to seal the deal with some fancy bling. But some ladies out there aren’t satisfied with just that. The perfectionists in them now want perfect-looking hands that would make their engagement ring selfie look like a dreamy Tiffany ad.
If you’re in for the idea, the good news is, the “hand lift” procedure which involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the hand to achieve a plumper, younger-looking appearance doesn’t require the use of a scalpel and shows immediate results, which last up to nine months. The not-so-good news is, the procedure will make your wallet US$1,200 lighter in a short span of about ten minutes.
It’s said that a friend’s selfie on Facebook can have more impact on us psychologically than an A-list celebrity’s glamour shot. It’s little wonder why more and more people are welcoming the idea of going under the knife (or needle) to enhance their appearance. Being self-conscious and concerned about your own body image isn’t essentially a bad thing. If spending some money and time at a cosmetic surgeon’s clinic can make you feel more confident and happier, who’s to say no?
Unless you’re spending a few hundred thousand dollars on a regular basis to get your dream face or body… then you should get in contact with RocketNews24 so that we may have the honor of interviewing you!
