Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Why plastic-surgery demand is booming amid lockdown

Celebrities and politicians always try to look good in front of people and cameras and they are very much used to it. Of course. It’s their job. But most people aren’t used to looking at themselves on a screen for hours every day. They neither expected to do their jobs in front of a camera nor imagined to be seen themselves on screens by others. But this is exactly what many people today have been experiencing since March when the coronavirus became a pandemic. They found themselves sitting in front of their PCs hours every day for online video meetings, conferences, training, or classes. They then compare themselves with others on the video and begin wondering if they look as good as others do. Some people even consider taking facial augmentation or surgery to look better. That sounds understandable under the circumstances as they can show their faces in full only via online. As a result, online inquires for cosmetic upgrades increased substantially in the US, the UK, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

Does lockdown make you feel good things better and bad things even worse?

Enjoy reading the article and think if you want to turn off the self-view video in your next Zoom meeting.
