Holidaymakers Opt For Airbrushed Cosmetic Surgery

For British holidaymakers wanting to be picture picture this year, rather then resorting to actual cosmetic surgery they're opting for an altogether more Hollywood style solution. According to a report in The Times online, the high street photographic chain Snappy Snaps has experienced a 550% increase in people wanting airbrushing on the holiday photos.

Instead of having a breast enlargement, tummy tuck or lip implants people are requesting these phsyical changes be added onto their snaps post-vacation with high street stores charging around £15 for the privilege. Alternatively people can do the alterations at home on their on computers with software such as Adobe Photoshop, while Kodak has launched an airbrush plug-in specifically for touching up photos.

This craze is considered to be down to the increase in popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook where users are keen to project the right image of themselves. The problem of course comes when reality does not match up to the image.
