The selfie craze is causing a rise in plastic surgery for the face, according to a new study from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The study, from a poll of 2,700 of the organization's members, found that one in three plastic surgeons specializing in the face reported an uptick in requests for plastic surgery. The rise was linked to more patients being aware of and unhappy with how they look when they post pictures on social media.

In 2013, the members saw a 10 percent rise in rhinoplasty (nose jobs) from the year before. Those polled also saw a seven percent increase in hair transplants and a six percent increase in eyelid procedures, according to a press release from AAFPRS.

"Social platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and the iPhone app Selfie.im, which are solely image based, force patients to hold a microscope up to their own image and often look at it with a more self-critical eye than ever before," AAFPRS President Edward Farrior, said according to the press release.

"These images are often the first impression young people put out there to prospective friends, romantic interests and employers and our patients want to put their best face forward."   

The study also found that plastic surgery patients are getting younger and younger. Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed said they saw a rise in cosmetic surgery in patients under the age of 30 in 2013.

Procedures for women under 35 tend to focus on having younger looking skin, while a significant amount of men under 35 wanted nose jobs, liposuction on the neck and chin implants, the press release said. The most common cosmetic surgery for women were facelifts and nose jobs, while for men it was also nose jobs.

"Whether driven by a desire to stay competitive in the workforce, remain attractive to their mate or simply to look as good as they feel, advances in non-invasive anti-aging technologies are making it possible to delay the hands of time while retaining a natural outcome," Farrior said. "As recovery times are reduced and results are more subtle, aesthetic procedures become a more viable maintenance option for young men and women."
