If you find yourself taking hundreds of selfies but still aren't happy with the image, then you may have fallen victim to the ‘selfie effect.’
A new study by researchers at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School has revealed the distortive effects of selfie cameras, which are prompting many people to develop a skewed self image.

The researchers, including Boris Paskhover, who specialises in facial plastic surgery, explained that selfies are regularly given as examples as why patients are seeking plastic surgery.
Dr Paskhover said: “Young adults are constantly taking selfies to post to social media and think those images are representative of how they really look, which can have an impact on their emotional state.

“I want them to realise that when they take a selfie they are in essence looking into a portable funhouse mirror."
In the study, the researchers developed a mathematical model that shows how noses are distorted by photos taken at close range.
The model was based on the average head and facial feature measurements form a range of racially and ethnically diverse participants

It revealed that an average selfie - taken about 12 inches from the face - makes the nose appear 30 per cent bigger, compared to an image taken 1.5 metres (5 feet) away.
Dr Pashkover believes that the detrimental effects of selfies on self-image is a public health issue.
According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, 55 per cent of surgeons say people come to them seeking cosmetic procedures for better selfies
