Apparently, lots of people are not relishing their appearance, whilst, in lockdown, largely when communicating online. This has led to the very convenient affliction of 'Zoom face' that can be 'cured' by having an expensive face-lift (at a time when you can conveniently hide the bruising) or (cheaper) Botox treatment (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/13/health/coronavirus-cosmetic-surgery.html). There's not much they can do for me but I do think the 'patients' are being a bit premature. It would be very easy for a computer whizz to produce a variant on Zoom that can automatically smooth away your wrinkles and brighten your smile, whilst leaving a recognisable you. There just has to be enough demand.
