Woman Goes Under the Knife for 'Selfie Worthy Hands'

Thirty-three year old, Christa Hendershot, from New York spent a whopping £2,000 ($3,000) to make her hands "selfie worthy," by undergoing a hand rejuvenation procedure.

After getting engaged last fall, Hendershot was excited to show-off her engagement ring on social media, however, after taking several pictures she realized that her hands were not selfie worthy.

Hendershot then visited dermatologist surgeon, Dr. Ariel Ostad's, office in New York to undergo a procedure to rid herself of her "veiny hands" and "very red" knuckles.

"The veins are not as blue," Hendershot told ABC News minutes after the procedure.

Dr. Ostad said that there has been an influx of clients coming into his office for the procedure.

"I've noticed over the last six months, patients actually bring a selfie in the examining room. They show me what bothers them and what they would like to fix," said Dr Ostad.
