Researchers from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Stanford University have discovered that photos taken at a distance of 12 inches increased nose size by 30 percent for men and 29 percent for women, compared to photographs taken at an infinite camera distance.

They came up with this finding following a recently conducted study, published on Thursday in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery. The research was aimed at determining how using smartphones to take selfies distort people’s face.

The researchers used the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which collects data on people’s body measurements. The information included the facial dimensions of a variety of individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

They then created a mathematical model, which included drawings of an average female and male face, to calculate the distortions when a phone was 12 inches, 5 feet and an infinite distance away. After analyzing the results, it was found that mages taken from five feet away did not distort the nose size.
