"   Photo: Getty/Splash News With nose jobs on the rise since the selfie became a serious thing, and brides-to-be getting hand lifts before Instagram engagement photos, we&amp;#039;ve been hearing a lot about plastic surgery related to social media lately. People are getting procedures to make themselves look better on the Internet, but on the flip side, the Internet (or at least our computers and smartphones) may be making us look worse.

In this chicken or egg situation, it&amp;#039;s hard to say whether our tech gadgets are causing accelerated neck aging or if we are simply noticing it more because of social media, says Dr. James Marotta, a Long Island-based facial plastic surgeon.

Ultherapy costs around $2,000 (other procedures can be up to $10,000), requires no downtime, and lasts one to two years. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
