Snapchat Dysmorphia

A recent study published on Cureus has brought attention to a new phenomenon known as "Snapchat Dysmorphia".


This term has been used to describe a trend where individuals are seeking plastic surgery to resemble their own digitally filtered selfies on social media platforms such as Snapchat and Instagram.

The study suggests that these platforms, with their wide array of filters that can alter physical appearances, may be influencing people's perceptions of beauty and self-image.


It is becoming increasingly common for plastic surgeons to receive requests from patients who want to look like their filtered images.

However, the study emphasizes that the appropriate response to such concerns is not plastic surgery, but proper counseling. The results of such surgeries can often be unrealistic and may lead to further dissatisfaction.
