At the western plastic surgeons have a new term, which reflects the reality of a century of high technologies. This phrase "computer face", meaning premature wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
These wrinkles occur in a person who spends the whole day at the computer. Generally, " computer face " represents early wrinkles the eyes and forehead, as well as so-called "goose neck" - sagging skin around the jaw and chin. All this is the result of many hours of finding virtually in the same position in front of the monitor screen.
By the way, do plastic surgeons have not yet come to a consensus on whether or not to voice their professional slang patients. If British doctors use the phrase " computer face "Unashamedly, then Americans prefer not to disturb customers.
"When do patients come to me and start talking using the slang of my problems, I always try to bring back the conversation in the direction strictly medical terms, - said Dr. Susan Albers from Cleveland. - I do it for the people to understand the seriousness of their condition And it does not take it lightly. Expressions like "goose-neck" or " Computer Face "Translate the dialogue of the doctor and patient to some playful direction."
And the president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Dr. Mark Berman strongly against the introduction of new terms. He considers this unfair practice. "Quite a shame to use such phrases, because plastic surgery patients by reading the advertisements on the treatment of" Computer Face "Will think that they are offered something completely new, - says Dr. Berman. - In fact, early wrinkles There have always been, and methods of their correction are well known. Doctors may be great craftsmen in inventing all sorts of names, because we have the expertise that are not available to the general public. "
