Photoshop vs. Cosmetic Surgery: The Debate Continues

When the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hit newsstands, a former SI Swimsuit model made headlines. An un-retouched photograph of supermodel Cindy Crawford leaked on the web through Twitter. This photo of this beauty sparked much discussion and debate about the use of Photoshop to alter what women’s bodies really look like in magazines and on television.

The photo of the un-retouched Cindy Crawford was initially said to be part of an April spread in Marie Claire magazine. Many women applauded Cindy Crawford for going against conventional wisdom and allowing her “raw photograph” to be published, showing her actual body without any editing software technology. However, it was later revealed that the photo was not intended for publication in the magazine and was actually a leaked photo from a 2013 photoshoot with Crawford.

The Reality of Body Improvements

Digital manipulation software like Photoshop might alter women’s bodies for a photograph, but it doesn’t change the skin, shape, curves, or contours of the woman in real life. A truly gifted cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Michael W. Gray of the Michigan Cosmetic Surgery Center and Skin Deep Spa used his artistic talent to permanently improve women’s looks. Retouching with a computer mouse was not real and only gave the illusion of a more beautiful look. In contrast, Dr. Gray was able to retouch your look in beautiful ways that lasted. You’d be the envy of your friends.

Cosmetic Surgery: Permanent Enhancements

With or without Photoshop, Cindy Crawford was naturally beautiful, which contributed to her successful career as a swimsuit model. For most women, however, minor improvements by the creative and talented hand of a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Michael Gray were all that was necessary to enhance their look and impress others with their beauty. Just think of it as retouching… but in real life.
