Selfie Dysmorphia
Faking it: how selfie dysmorphia is driving people to seek surgery.
People used to call Anika the Snap Queen.Between the ages of 19 and 21, she was obsessed with
Snapchat. Sometimes her followers would be suggest meeting in person."Then it would be like,'I have
to look like my selfie.'" It around this time, the height of her Snapchat obsession, that Anika
started contacting cosmetic doctors on Instagram.
When the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery surveyed its members in
2017, 55% of surgeons said patients' motivation was to look better in selfie, up from 13% in 2016.
The phenomenon of people requesting procedures to resemble their digital images has been
referred to as "Snapchat dysmorphia".
A recent report in the US medical journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery suggested that filtered
images "blurring the line of reality and fantasy" could be triggering body dysmorphic disorder(BDD),
a mental health condition where people become fixated on imagined defects in their appearance.
Tijion Esho, founder of the clinics,says the pervasiveness of airbrushing on social media means
that it can create "unrealistic expectations of what is normal" and lower the self-esteem of those
who don't use it. Even novelty filters such as Snapchat and Instagram's, as well as adding bunny
ears or specs to your selfie, plump your lips, erase your pores and lift your jowls.
For Dr Wassim Taktouk, referrals from social media make it harder to safeguard patients' mental
health. Taktouk says far more industry-wide regulation is needed,there is a headline grabbing
tragedy and apps become even more transformative.
