According to E! News, plastic surgeons have started showing off their skills via Snapchat, and are racking up millions of views and followers in the process. That’s right folks, graphic video clips without censorship of boob jobs, Brazilian butt lifts and labiaplasties are just a Snapchat story on your phone away.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer, aka Dr. Miami, is one of the surgeons involved in this trend and describes the appeal to him as follows: “It’s like having your own reality show in your pocket, but better because you have no censors or network to answer to. You just do whatever you feel is entertaining or funny — and educational.” Dr. Miami gets an average of 1.5 million views daily. Here is a sample of something you might see on Snapchat following him (but without the pixelated censorship):
Dr. Matthew Schulman, who started Snapchatting surgeries a year ago and gets one million views a day, supports the educational value aspect of it all. “The primary purpose of this Snapchat account is for education. The content’s going to be graphic, so if you see something that’s a little too graphic for you — and there will be for a lot of you — just tap the screen.”
Tapping the screen is something I would be doing a lot of. To get a clearer idea of what you are in for, here are some screenshots. It should be noted, however, that these are censored still images, and not totally raw video footage. Follow these surgeons at your own risk.
Fascinating stuff. Still a big “no thanks” from me, though.
