In Instagram, Tinder, and Snapchat, there is a 'filter' function that makes the subject's eyes larger and makes it beautiful automatically. Users of SNS, who receive a large number of images that have been processed with such filter functions, have announced research results that 'There is little resistance to cosmetic surgery.'

The research team at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has conducted interviews with 'Frequently Used SNS and Photo Editing Apps' and 'Which is it?' For a total of 252 subjects of 184 women and 68 men with an average age of 24.7 years We investigated whether we were only confident (self-esteem), 'how much cosmetic surgery is acceptable', and 'considering cosmetic surgery'.

As a result of the survey, subjects who answered that they use YouTube, WhatsApp, VSCO and Photoshop were found to have low self-esteem. In addition, it was found that subjects using Tinder and Snapchat tend to show an acceptance attitude for cosmetic surgery, and users using Instagram and VSCO tend to actually consider cosmetic surgery by themselves.

Regarding this tendency, the research team insists that using SNS with many photos posted increases the opportunity to compare their own appearance with others, leading to an attitude of accepting plastic surgery.

'Social media is an unbelievable pressure on young people,' said Amisab Bresler, who studies cosmetic surgery, about the results of the study. In addition, this study is a survey of 'SNS being used' and 'Resistance against cosmetic surgery', etc. 'How does self-esteem and resistance change by continuing to use SNS?' Says that they are also expecting a survey.

Mashable commented that 'Why do orthopedic surgeons have an account with Instagram and Facebook?' And pointed out that SNS is the entrance to plastic surgery. It states that if a 'fight against self-esteem' is being triggered by SNS, it should be directed to mental health professionals rather than surgeons.
