If you have a laptop and some basic technical knowledge, you can take any image on earth and modify it to your heart's content. The social issues caused by this are yet to be fully studied, but, for example, researchers believe that increased Instagram use among teens creates a higher risk of depression, anxiety and low-self esteem.
So we’ve gathered some of the worst examples of netizens excessively modifying images of themselves to appear more attractive. However, not everyone is exactly successful at it. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the worst examples and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section below.

Load More Replies...It took me far too long to figure out that was just her hair.
Load More Replies...As easy as it is to laugh at some of the examples here, the truth is that most of these folks feel some shame in their own bodies and want to compensate for it with technology. This is generally due to a lack of funds as, let’s face it, folks with income will simply get actual plastic surgery.
After all, these days most things can be changed pretty thoroughly. Take buccal fat removal. If you have seen a famous Hollywood star or pop singer with a weirdly thin and angular face, this is likely because they had the fat in their cheeks removed.
But Why?
Read somewhere the greatest compliment you can give a lady in the middle east is to tell her she has the "eyes of a gazelle" :-)
At Least Try To Make It Believable
how do they look at this picture before they post it and think yep that looks ok
When I look in the mirror I know what I see isn't what other people see when they look at me (not to anywhere near this extent) so it makes me wonder if this is how they see themselves or if it's just a ploy for attention. Even negative attention is attention.
Load More Replies...So, I have to ask...If a woman really was shaped like that, where would she buy jeans and trousers? I'm just an average bodied person, but most of the time when I find a pair of jeans to fit my butt, the waist is a little too big and creates a funky gap. Someone like this would look like they were wearing a trash can with legs.
At first I was thinking they'd have to be bespoke or heavily tailored, but after consideration, they'd never get a waist opening that size over a butt that big. Unless there are hidden side/back panels.

Had to look that up : The word homunculus has multiple meanings, including: A miniature human A homunculus is a small, fully formed human that was thought to be created through alchemy.

In the fist pic I suspect she has taken either oral tanning drops or the tanning injections, both of which are really bad for you.

This Makeup Artist’s Before And Afters
Makeup is amazing. There's a show called Skin Wars about special effects makeup that's absolutely astounding.
Load More Replies...You know, you can be an older woman and look fabulous. You just have to take good care of yourself, dress age appropriately, and wear your hair in an age appropriate style. I don’t mean old lady clothes and hairstyle. Not at all. There’s a difference between being youthful and trying to look younger. Youthfulness is an attitude that can make you appear younger than you are through your attitude, through staying up to date with the world, learning new things, and not talking bout “those damned kids these days”. Trying to look young, through Botox and/or cosmetic surgery, is just like chasing windmills. In other words, an impossible dream, that’s also tinged with desperation. Develop a youthful attitude, and work with what you’ve got to make it the best it can be. Forget the Botox. Wouldn’t you rather be able to smile, ffs, instead of looking like a statue, or one of those aliens in drawings made by people who claim to have been abducted?
Some people get their backs up "age appropriate" but it really isn't a bad thing. And it does make a difference. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I dyed my hair nearly black. As I was nearing 40, I realized it just wasn't working for me anymore. It was making me look like I was trying to deny my age. So I changed the color to very dark brown and I looked SO much better. It was an "older" color but it made me look younger. Now, nearing 60, it's 2 or 3 shades lighter than that. You have look at yourself in the mirror with the lights on and your eyes open. We all get older. You'll be happier if don't spend your life fighting it.

That's Katie Price, aka Jordan. She's a well known 'media personality' in the UK who got her start by being a page three girl. Page three being the page of British tabloid newspapers that would show pictures of topless models. She's an absolute mess. She's ruined her face and body with an abundance of botched plastic surgery.

She's bankrupt, been done for animal cruelty, banned from driving and generally a s****y person who traded off goodwill for having a disabled child but no one cares anymore and she pulls more desperate stunts.

And when she does, do we cremate her or recycle her?!

This Just Does Not Look Right
Is it just me or does she look like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie? (above the neck)
That's just... i mean, if she is the same person in both photos, she must have lost a lot of weight. Even with the terrible photoshop, you can see that she's not as big as she used to be. And probably did some muscle-buildup. But to be that unhappy STILL, even with a probably good amount of weightloss must be terrible. She should not feel the need to make her pictures look ridiculously like a Barbie-doll
Looks like she’s actually lost weight and maybe gotten fit. Kinda hard to tell for sure because of the ‘shop but the background doesn’t look like it’s imploding so maybe she’s actually lost a lot of weight?
No way in hell that's the same person without a WHOLE LOT of Photoshop.

Idk. Make up and angles can do wonders! The most bonkers thing is that all these women altering their images are plenty attractive
You lot are clearly deluded if you think this hasn't been edited. She's a good couple of stone heftier, with a double chin, thin lips, face shape is thinner in doctored pic. You'd have to be Tom Savini level of make up artist to do that!
With camera and head angles, this is easily achieved with makeup without editing

Something Seems Off
Damn. Back in my day, we just stuffed a little toilet paper in our bra, and hoped our moms didn't find out...
Wtf Is Skin Texture And Normal Body Proportions??
Maybe she's sizing the bra wrong. Sometimes band width can be adjusted by choosing a different cup size. She might be wearing an A cup because she's getting the band measurement too big. She looks like she might be petite but her boobs are not small. She might be under 32 inches so maybe she can't find a bra with a band that is small enough? (I leaned this trick from a Victoria secret fitter. I have bras from a 36b to a 34c to 32d and they all fit great. Just depends on the bra design what I end up with.)
To be fair, it can be pretty hard to find the right bra size
