description | It was observed that in early 2018, several newspapers raised a concern about the negative effects of social media applications, such as Snapchat and Instagram, on users related to the choice of plastic surgeries.

There are several red flags to look out for in such patients, and proper management in those cases should include counseling and not plastic surgery. |
