Abstract:
Recently, social media use has skyrocketed, especially with millennials. The use of filtered images and photo editing has led to a new trend of social media-induced dissatisfaction with appearance, termed "snapchat dysmorphia" and "selfie dysmorphia". It is important for practitioners to recognize and understand this trend in addition to knowing how to manage these patients. As clinicians, we have bioethical and professional obligations to educate ourselves on new and relevant trends, ensure adequate patient safety, and advocate for continued consumer education.
