What is “Smartphone Face”? Dr. Neely Khan Weighs In on Modern Beauty Trends
In a fascinating feature for NewBeauty, Dr. Neelam Khan explores the viral concept of “Smartphone Face”—the idea that certain facial features look distinctly modern rather than timeless.
Dr. Khan explains that while our genetics haven’t shifted, our aesthetic tools have. “A snatched jawline, fuller lips, high cheekbones, and lifted eyebrows” are the hallmarks of today’s beauty standards, often achieved through subtle in-office treatments.
She notes that the presence of fillers and the “lack of movement” from neurotoxins like Botox are the clearest indicators of a modern face. While stars like Hailey Bieber embody this contemporary, refined look, Dr. Khan points to Lily Collins as the perfect example of a “classic” look that remains timeless.
Whether you prefer a modern “snatched” appearance or a soft, natural aesthetic, Dr. Khan’s expertise ensures that every patient achieves their personal version of beauty.
