In a world where one can digitally erase a blemish or brighten the eyes with a click, many are seeking more permanent “edits” through the surgeon’s knife.
The Quest for the Perfect Selfie
From the grainy front-camera shots of the early 2010s to today’s HD, filter-rich portraits, the evolution of the “selfie” is evident. What began as candid snapshots have transformed into highly refined images, in large part because of technological advancements and social media’s influence.Platforms such as Instagram and Facebook popularized high-quality, curated images. Snapchat and TikTok took it further by introducing user-friendly filters that offer instant enhancements. Users can now achieve clearer skin, prominent cheekbones, and idealized lighting conditions with a single tap.
