However, the nose is ugly and may not be congenital. This problem is likely to be on the front camera of the mobile phone. According to the news medical website reported on March 2, a new study shows that selfies can't reflect the real facial features, which will make the nose look 30% bigger than it really is.
This study has been published in the latest issue of Journal of American Medical Association? Journal of facial plastic surgery. According to the main author, Professor Boris Paschover from Rutgers University, New Jersey State University School of Medicine, the researchers used the mathematical model established by Ohad Fried to compare the ordinary photos of the participants with the self-portrait photos. The results show that the distance between the face and the wide-angle lens of the mobile phone is very short, which will lead to the spherical appearance of the nose in the photo.
When analyzing the influence of different camera distances on the nose width and the distance ratio between the two cheekbones, the research team found that when the camera is about 30 cm away from the face, the bottom of the nose of a man will be 30% wider than it actually looks, while that of a woman will be 29% wider and the tip of the nose will be 7% wider. In contrast, when the camera is at a distance of 1.27 meters from the face, the nose in the photo will not be deformed.
You may think this is not a big problem, but researcher Julia Deeb-Swihart said that many young people want to show their physical charm on social platforms and need the attention of others to enhance their self-confidence, which is called "selfie awareness". If they feel that their selfies are not attractive enough, they tend to choose plastic surgery.
In fact, according to the data of American Association of Facial Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction Surgeons, among the patients who underwent facial plastic surgery in 20 17 years, 55% wanted to "get a better selfie", which was 13% higher than that in 20 16 years.
"Now most young people often take selfies on social media, thinking that these photos represent their true colors. This will have a bad influence on their mood. " Professor Boris Paschover said that the purpose of this study is to tell young people that selfies are similar to an "entertainment mirror" and cannot reflect a person's true appearance.
