Doctors have noticed a new trend: People want to change their body to look
 like their edited selfies. Specifically, they're referring to photos of themselves
 taken with apps like Snapchat and Facetune that apply filters to instantly
 touch-up their appearance. Unsurprisingly, the phenomenon is rooted in body appearance issues, and it even has a name: "Snapchat dysmorphia."
The trend was described by researchers in the Boston University School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology in an article appearing in the journal JAMA Facial Plastic
 Surgery. It's essentially rooted in dissatisfaction with one's body when compared
 to how one looks in filtered photos, but this specific application isn't just 
about wishing to appear more like your spiffed-up selfies: It's wanting cosmetic
 surgery to look better in future pics, too. "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," the report read.
Previously, people brought in celebrity photos to use as templates for their
 cosmetic surgeries -- but now, they're using apps to preview how they'd look.
 Social media apps like Snapchat and Facetune are providing a new reality of 
beauty for today's society, the report read, and could be harmful to 
impressionable teens or those diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder. 
Getting surgery won't fix these issues, and may make them worse. Instead,
 the Boston University researchers recommend the patients be treated with psychological interventions like therapy and medication.
