Cosmetic enhancement is increasingly popular in an ageist society.

In South Florida, an area known for its high volume of successful and botched plastic surgeries, social media has brought a whole new level of craziness to the industry. 

Plastic surgeons are blogging, posting on Instagram, and creating stories for Snapchat that often show real patients undergoing procedures in real time.
