The lips of Angelina Jolie, the buttocks of Jennifer Lopez. People used to take a photo of a celebrity as a sample photo for the plastic surgeon. The latest trend? People bring a photo of themselves with a Snapchat filter over it.
The British doctor Esho (from the Body Fixers TV program well-known there) gets it somehow. The filters make your eyes bigger, your face slightly narrower and all without wrinkles.
He finds the trend worrying. These women are likely to have a distorted body image and there is a chance that they will still not be satisfied after the surgery. He forwards women who visit him with a photo of himself with a filter to a psychologist.
Social media has a lot of influence on self-image and self-confidence. It sometimes ensures that self-confidence is related to the number of likes. Esho: 'There is now a generation of both women and men who are more visually aware than ever before.'
