Slay queens resort to plastic surgery to look like Snapchat filters

The condition occurs when a person suffers from obsessive thoughts on their appearance

There’s a new trend of patients seeking plastic surgery to look more like Snapchat filters. The condition is called “Snapchat dysmorphia.”

Doctors say that the condition is related to body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), where a person suffers from obsessive thoughts on their appearance.

If you are a Snapchat user, then you’re pretty aware of how filters can make you look.

Attraction is often communicated through non-verbal cues, with body language revealing more than words ever could. If you’re trying to determine whether a woman is interested in you, observing her body language can give you valuable insights.

One in particular slims down your nose, and even gives you a more chiseled look— and now people want to achieve that permanently.

In the article written by doctors from Boston University School of Medicine’s department of dermatology, notes:

“This is an alarming trend because those filtered selfies often present an unattainable look and are blurring the line of reality and fantasy for these patients.”

Current generation

While people may find this to be extremely weird, achieving a perfect look and lifestyle is basically what this generation is all about.

Social media apps, such as Snapchat and Facetune, are providing a new reality of beauty for today’s society.

It can be argued that these apps are making us lose touch with reality because we expect to look perfectly primped and filtered in real life as well.
