If you have a laptop and some basic technical knowledge, you can take any image on earth and modify it to your heart's content. The social issues caused by this are yet to be fully studied, but, for example, researchers believe that increased Instagram use among teens creates a higher risk of depression, anxiety and low-self esteem.
So we’ve gathered some of the worst examples of netizens excessively modifying images of themselves to appear more attractive. However, not everyone is exactly successful at it. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the worst examples and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section below.

    When You Edit The Face And Forget You Have A Body Underneath It. And Don’t Get Me Started On The Hair Wispie

    As easy as it is to laugh at some of the examples here, the truth is that most of these folks feel some shame in their own bodies and want to compensate for it with technology. This is generally due to a lack of funds as, let’s face it, folks with income will simply get actual plastic surgery.

    After all, these days most things can be changed pretty thoroughly. Take buccal fat removal. If you have seen a famous Hollywood star or pop singer with a weirdly thin and angular face, this is likely because they had the fat in their cheeks removed.

    This issue tends to impact women more than men. A Dove sponsored study found that not only do young women spend more time on social media, roughly half of the teens they interviewed indicated that this activity directly impacts their mental health. Even worse, almost 90% said that consuming, for example, Instagram content makes them feel less beautiful.

    I thought photoshop was to be used to get rid of blemishes and stuff, not to give yourself a whole new face..

    At the bottom she's wearing a cheap porn lace body with a bikini top under it. Don't ask me how I know.

    That's Katie Price, aka Jordan. She's a well known 'media personality' in the UK who got her start by being a page three girl. Page three being the page of British tabloid newspapers that would show pictures of topless models. She's an absolute mess. She's ruined her face and body with an abundance of botched plastic surgery.

    Idk. Make up and angles can do wonders! The most bonkers thing is that all these women altering their images are plenty attractive

    Have y'all ever seen this girl without makeup. I didn't even recognise her. 😭 I don't understand why perfectly gorgeous girls make themselves fake. It just lowers their self esteem when they take the makeup off.
