Girls are begging plastic surgeons to make them look like their filtered photos

The new clientele is young. Most are women in their 20s. And they want to look like their edited photographs on Instagram and Snapchat. 'At least ten patients a week are asking for this. I don't recognise them when they come in because they look so different to the edited pictures they've sent previously by email,' says Dr Esho. 'These images are hyper-exaggerated, very sculpted and completely unrealistic. People are chasing impossible, unachievable looks.'... 'I have absolutely no doubt that the bombardment of over-edited, idealised images of what people aspire to look like is having a very damaging effect on young people's wellbeing,' says Caroline Nokes, the Conservative chairman of the Women and Equalities Committee, which ran the body-image inquiry.
