Hendershot shared that she felt that her veins protruded too much and that her knuckles were extremely red.

Paying over $3,000 dollars, Hendershot visited her dermatologist and received a hand rejuvenation.

In the said procedure, fillers are injected onto the hand for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

After the hand rejuvenation was completed, Hendershot was extremely happy with how her hands looked, stating, "The veins are not as blue.

Hendershot's plastic surgeon Dr Ariel Ostad said that Hendershot isn't an uncommon case. Many of his patients go to his office pointing out the flaws they want to correct because they want their selfies to be more social media-worthy.

"I've noticed over the last six months [that] patients actually bring a selfie in the examining room. They show me what bothers them and what they would like to fix," he shared.

It seems that photo edits and filters just simply aren't enough for some people and prefer to do real life physical edits for the perfect selfie.

Jen Muir, a 33-year old newlywed. shared that she hated how her nose looked in her wedding photos so she has shied away from selfies since the realization.

"I can see everybody posting pictures of themselves, and I'm thinking, 'Why can't I do it? What's the problem?'" Muir shared. 

All for the sake of better selfies, Muir decided to spend $15,000 on a nose job to make her nose smaller, remove a bump on her nose bridge and, to alter how it "hangs".

Muir's surgeon, Dr. Samuel Rizk, said that the selfie trend has been good for business, saying that he would see around three patients a day who would come in for consultations due to dissatisfaction with their selfies.
