Is Facebook driving people to plastic surgery?

Yahoo: It's no secret that a large number of Americans are unhappy with their image.

But could the last decade's boom in social networking actually be related to the boom in plastic surgery? According to some doctors, yes — Facebook is driving people under the knife.
