If you've ever gawked at a HDTV (High-Definition Television) you've noticed how blue the ocean looks, how fluffy a puppy is, and how those celebrities aren't as flawless looking as you once thought they were. What happened? Hollywood celebrities could hide behind lighting, makeup, and camera tricks before, but with the advent of high-definition, all of those little imperfections are clearly visible. Pimples, cellulite, that birthmark that was once camouflaged by a slightly blurry picture-suddenly celebrities are shockingly real.
At first this might seem like a nice change of pace. No more will the average person compare himself to the fantasies that parade around the television. But Tinsel Town wasn't quite ready to give up the illusion. Instead of embracing and accepting a more natural beauty, stars are attempting to live up to their idealistic images, flocking to the cosmetic surgeon's office for more nips and tucks.
Another consequence of HDTV is that celebrities who once touted to never have gone under the knife-well, we now know better. Scars and overly tight skin are giving away their most well kept secrets.
But how will this affect the rest of us? For starters, it seems that the trend to glorify Hollywood will not dissipate anytime soon. In fact, it may increase the pressure on society to achieve and maintain a youthful, beautiful appearance. After all, if they can still look flawless on that crystal clear picture, why can't the average person?
The bright side of the critical eye of HDTV is that it might propel people toward subtle, maintenance procedures like fillers and laser peels. These fast and affordable treatments can perk up your skin and remove fine lines before they become too noticeable. Rather than going to extremes, it seems as if people are opting for those kinds of procedures that are more practical for an average person. There is little recovery time and the results are instant, but not enough for someone to point out where and what was done. So instead of trying to turn back the clock fifteen years with a full facelift in order to compete with those glowing young starlets, people are choosing the procedures with more natural results.
Maintaining a natural appearance is the key to looking fabulous in life or on HDTV. Now it is becoming more favorable to look your own age--but great, rather than the former artificial attempts to shave off decades from your face and body.
So while HDTV may not end the Hollywood glamour parade, it certainly might help people make conservative, but impactful cosmetic surgery decisions. And even if someone looks perfect on high-definition, remember how skilled some surgeons are. It's still a fantasy world and society should not have to feel forced to compete with. New makeup techniques like airbrushing and lighting still improves people's appearance on the camera. Although cosmetic procedures may improve your confidence, but be realistic about your expectations. It is better to look as good as you possibly can than to try to look as good as someone else does on the television.
