“A new phenomenon called ‘Snapchat dysmorphia’ has popped up […] where patients are seeking out surgery to help them appear like the filtered versions of themselves.”
Dr. Neelam Vashi
Well, that’s concerning – I love my technology but it’s important we all maintain the balance between reality and fantasy, or that world that tech facilitates and creates.
The fact that 55% of cosmetic surgeons last year reported patients who wanted the surgeon to help make them look more like their image created by Snapchat or Instagram filters is disturbing to me.
