Not only the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas is, for most people, the most sociable.
对许多人而言，圣诞节不仅是一年当中最美好的时光，也是社交的绝佳机会。
With work parties, family get-togethers and trips to the pub to see old schoolmates all on the cards, it's understandable that the majority of us want to look our best.
So that means maybe a quick trim and slick of new eyeshadow, right?
Judging by recent trends, a new hair-do or some extra make-up is no longer going to cut it - if you really want to look good this party season, join the growing number of people getting
cosmetic surgery for Christmas.
And one of the main reasons people are going under the knife (or needle or syringe)? Selfies.
After all, if you didn't take a selfie at a social engagement, were you even really there?
Unlike normal photos taken from a distance, selfies raise the risk of the
dreaded under-eye dark circles, particularly at winter parties with overhead
lighting.
For selfies with overhead lighting and holiday parties, the undereye really gets those dark circles
accentuated, so that's a big one, Dr Dara Liotta, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon from New York explains.
So the obvious solution is cosmetic surgery.
