Have you ever seen yourself in HDTV? Probably not, although it's possible if you have a home video recorder that can be hooked up to an HD television. If that's the case, you've probably come to realize that you have a few more flaws than you really care to show to the world. That might not bother the average person who sees themselves once or twice a year in home videos. But what if you make your living by being on TV?
Of course, celebrity plastic surgery has always been popular precisely for this reason. The big screen shows details that the average person doesn't want seen by the world. But with HDTV heading into homes across the nation, even the average television star is seeking out plastic surgery to get themselves more fit for the screen. And it's not just stars of prime time shows either. News anchors and television talk show hosts who see themselves on HDTV are finding that they're not happy with what the new super-great images reveal about them.
The Los Angeles Times recently ran a report on the issue. It revealed that Anderson Cooper, the host of CNN, wasn't pleased with what he saw when he saw himself on HD. He immediately began thinking about plastic surgery to repair the fatty deposit that he'd never realized before was underneath his eye. And even anchors of local news stations are starting to think about facial reconstruction to improve the close-up appearance that HD gives their viewers.
