New technology is responsible for one of the largest surges in plastic surgery ever. Selfies are having a huge impact on the facial plastic surgery industry.

Since TV host Ellen Degeneres tweeted a photo of her with a handful of Hollywood stars at the Oscars, and now holds the record for the most retweeted image on Twitter, more and more people are taking selfies.
