AR facetune will save them.

  You probably said that tongue in cheek, but that's probably where we're headed. People value their social media intensely, and the combination of the two will naturally happen as a consequence of VR/AR becoming ubiquitous in our lives.

    That would be an interesting twist on purchasing "cosmetic skins" IRL-ish (or more likely, monthly subscription. "For $5/mo more, you get our no gray-hair add-on"

    I can't help but feel like that's so incredibly dystopian.

    A bit of a side-topic, but I believe there are even more interesting consequences/applications of future AR when it comes to looks. Why bother with only "fixing" certain things about your looks, whereas you can look like something/someone completely different? With AR advanced enough, I believe we will get to the point of multiple "realities" overlaid on top of the real one, which opens doors for so many interesting possibilities and applications. Don't like that pesky skyscraper blocking view of the lake from your apt? Luckily, there is a reality server you can subscribe to that has it removed. Or another reality server that acts like ad-block for real life. When the AR tech matures and gets in the hands of an average person, I expect life to change in such a crazy way, that changes brought by wide smartphone adoption will look like a tiny blip in comparison.
