If you\u2019re afraid your neck looks flabby or fatty during video-chats, you can just drive on down to see Dr. Robert K. Sigal, a plastic surgeon at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Virginia: The doctor has invented a procedure, which he has dubbed the \u201cFaceTime Facelift,\u201d that ensures that your unsightly neck flab never embarrasses you in front of your FaceTime friends again.<\/p>\n<p>As the doctor notes in a press release, hating the way you look while FaceTime-ing is a totally common complaint, and one that can be fixed with a simple nip-and-tuck:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Patients come in with their iPhones and show me how they look on [Apple\u2019s video calling application] FaceTime. The angle at which the phone is held, with the caller looking downward into the camera, really captures any heaviness, fullness and sagging of the face and neck. People say \u2018I never knew I looked like that! I need to do something!\u2019 I\u2019ve started calling it the \u2018FaceTime Facelift\u2019 effect. And we\u2019ve developed procedures to specifically address it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Sigal came up with the iSurgery idea after his wife bought her iPhone 4 in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe got an iPhone\u2013 I guess around 6 months ago, 8 months ago \u2014 and she didnt like the way she looked while she talked on her iPhone,\u201d Dr. Sigal says, in a promotional video. \u201cIt tends to draw their chin in a little bit and accentuates any fullness they have in this [chin] area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, the FaceTime Facelift is essentially a special kind of neck-lift. What makes it special, you ask? Well, let\u2019s talk about how neck-lifts are normally done, and how they\u2019re done with the FaceTime Facelift.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, you see, the surgical incision for a neck-lift goes under the chin, as Dr. Sigal explains in a promotional video. This is a problem for FaceTime users, of course, because if you\u2019re pointing the iPhone up at yourself, the scar from the incision would be totally visible \u2014 Everyone knows you got a neck-lift! The FaceTime Facelift, meanwhile, moves the incision point to under the ears, which is totally invisible to your FaceTime partner! Now no one will know how superficial you are \u2014 at least, not just by looking at you when you\u2019re talking to them on FaceTime.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><object width=\"420\" height=\"315\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/zSgW3YxERKU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"420\" height=\"315\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/zSgW3YxERKU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" \/><\/object><\/div>\n<p>Read more about this here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/facetime-facelift-plastic-surgery-for-iphone-users_n_1300496?ref=technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/02\/24\/facetime-facelift-plastic-surgery-for-iphone-users_n_1300496.html?ref=technology<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be horrified.
