Dr. Karen Horton was recently featured in an article on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) website, where she provided expert insights into the evolving sources of Plastic Surgery inspiration. In the article, Dr. Horton highlighted the shift away from celebrity images as the gold standard for cosmetic procedure goals and the rising influence of more personal and realistic inspirations.

Dr. Horton discussed how today’s patients are less likely to rely on retouched celebrity photos and more inclined to focus on images that reflect their true selves. She emphasized the value of using one’s own past photographs as a more practical source of inspiration, especially for anti-aging treatments. This approach allows patients to create a realistic vision for their procedures based on how they looked in earlier years.

In addition to her thoughts on realistic expectations, Dr. Horton spoke on the importance of authenticity in cosmetic goals. She recommended that patients seek out photos of individuals with similar body types to illustrate their aesthetic preferences, which aids in developing achievable and personalized results. Dr. Horton’s feature in the ASPS article not only highlights her expertise but also reflects her patient-focused philosophy, encouraging individuals to embrace their own unique beauty while exploring cosmetic enhancements.
