When you play the Android mobile game Princess Plastic Surgery, your goal is to help a bug-eyed princess who was turned ugly by a witch’s curse. Only you can help the princess become pretty again — you take on the role of a professional plastic surgeon.
But you must be careful with her surgery, or else the princess’ lips will balloon to take over more than half the portion of her face. Princess Plastic Surgery by Bravo Kids Media is one among the dozen plastic surgery apps and games available for Android.
Google and Apple have removed many such plastic surgery apps from their app stores because of concerns of the possible negative impact on young girls who would use them. Many girls know that body fat can be reduced through liposuction, where the doctor removes extra layers of fat, and this isn’t deemed as a healthy thing to show kids.
However, the removals of plastic surgery apps and games haven’t discouraged app developers who want to create cosmetic surgery apps for adults.
Plastic surgery apps for adults: Educational, empowering
One example of a positive cosmetic surgery app for adults is the Plastic Surgery Network by Living Sage. Available on Apple TV and created by and for plastic surgery enthusiasts called Sagists, the Plastic Surgery Network (PSN) is a unique app and on-demand television channel for plastic surgeons, cosmetic authorities and the entire beauty industry. As a PSN user or “Sagist”, you can share your experiences, add content, and even contact doctors via the app.
Living Sage says the idea behind its cosmetic surgery app and channel is that education is crucial to a person’s health decisions — and that has become an empowering movement on PSN.
Living Sage’s slogan is “everything plastic surgery”, and the group’s goal is to become the hub of plastic surgery. In line with this mantra, PSN’s developers have created a Yelp-YouTube best-buy platform for the beauty industry, which is the third largest industry in the world.
“The technology and vision behind Living Sage is so incredible, that in a couple of years when people think of plastic surgery they will think of Living Sage — very similar to how people link online shopping to Amazon,” says Board certified plastic surgeon and tech enthusiast Gordon M. Kaplan, M.D.
To make things even more impressive, PSN’s cosmetic surgery app developers are working on adding Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) technologies to give Sagists a seriously personal experience when they check out doctors. Can you visualize yourself entering a virtual consultation room and talking to doctors across the country from your living room? It will happen sooner than you think.
Services like Living Sage offer immersive experiences that save both you time and doctors’ time in scheduling appointments and visiting doctor’s offices. Apart from saving time and enhancing privacy, anyone considering plastic surgery can even get more details and see transformation animations to understand the complicated cutting edge strategies that are used. What’s not to love?
Tech early adopters and plastic surgeons like Dr. Philip J. Miller (pictured above) have seen the huge potential of Living Sage’s PSN, and signed up as “Sagists”. At a time when TV viewers are cutting the cord and ditching cable, the Plastic Surgery Network is merging on-demand TV with plastic surgery.
