The Dumb Phone

According to statistics released by a recent study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) ’chinplants’ are quickly becoming the fastest growing cosmetic surgery trend. Care to guess what the main culprit for this crazy trend is? That’s right, Smartphones!

If the ASPS study is right, sagging faces, dubbed “Smarphone face” could be behind the growing trend for skin tightening treatments and chin implants which cost around £4,290.

If you love texting and chatting on your smartphone, often with your face bending over, you may be risking the beauty of your face.

Leading plastic surgeons believe that spending lot of time leaning over gadgets may cause saggy faces in users.

The phenomenon is called ‘Smartphone Face’ and is believed to encourage a trend of increasing chinplant cosmetic surgeries. According to statistics available with American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the chinplant or the skin tightening treatment which costs around $ 7000 has overtaken other popular cosmetic surgeries like breast augmentation and liposuction in 2011.

You thought you had ‘smartphone problems’ while dealing with needing a new phone charger or having those tech-addicts who are glued to their phone, bumping into you? Well listen to this!

Believe it or not, aesthetic professionals are announcing that technology addicts could be at risk of saggy jowls. It is said that smartphone and laptop use could very well cause facial muscles and skin to reduce its elasticity. This is mainly due to the crazy amount of time people are spending with their heads looking down playing angry birds or posting on their social media page.
