Do Photo Editing Apps, Selfie Filters Increase Your Desire for Cosmetic Surgery?

Self-esteem and acceptance of cosmetic surgery attitudes were measured. YouTube and WhatsApp social media users had lower self-esteem scores than nonusers, as did photo editing platforms users of VSCO and Photoshop.

Users of Tinder, Snapchat, and Snapchat filters had higher overall acceptance of cosmetic surgery scores. These findings could help to inform discussions between patients and physicians regarding the expectations and outcomes of cosmetic surgery.

However, the results aren't representative of most patients seeking cosmetic surgery because of the young age of survey participants.
