#FILLERNATION: BEAUTY IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

NBC News’ Stay Tuned explores the growing popularity of plastic surgery procedures among young people and its deep ties to social media.

Social media has created a generation obsessed with filters and photo-editing apps. Now, users are altering their faces and bodies with surgeries and injectables. Exposure to content about cosmetic procedures has become unavoidable on the internet. Videos about lip fillers and Brazilian butt lifts have garnered billions of views on social media — and it’s translating to real life as doctors say their patients keep getting younger and younger. In #FillerNation, industry experts and influencers explore the pains and gains of seeking beauty through filters and fillers, as well as the online business model that encourages users.
