Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Women are flocking to plastic surgeons to fix ‘resting bitch face’
Hope Davis didn’t realize the hard truth until her pals uploaded a batch of unflattering photos to Facebook and Instagram — she had resting bitch face.
“I was like, ‘Oh great, I look mad in the middle of the party,’ ” says the 42-year-old Red Bank, NJ, resident and ex-New Yorker of 17 years. “I looked like a sourpuss.”
Davis, whose job as a medical equipment sales associate depends on her appearing approachable, turned to a plastic surgeon.
“This is actually a common request from patients — I get several each week,” says Dr. David Shafer, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director of Shafer Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Midtown.
“They may not always use the words ‘resting bitch face,’ but if I mention ‘RBF,’ they say, ‘exactly.’”
Davis told Shafer she “didn’t want a ‘Joker’ smile,” but a “pleasant resting look.”
To achieve the look, doctors use techniques such as the injection of fillers into the face and sometimes Botox, medical experts said. The procedure takes about 10 to 20 minutes, costs between $500-5,000, with top docs, depending on the number of shots. It typically lasts up to two years.
Although the term RBF entered the cultural lexicon about six years ago, requests for the procedure “more than doubled” over the last year, says Shafer.
It’s because of a public shift in focus from the upper to lower face — “popularized by the Kardashians,” he says, and their affinity for lip injections.
He says selfies are also a factor: They force people to “look down at their phone, [which] accentuates the resting bitch face.”

I had no idea what RBF even was.....
