40 Times People Noticed These Instagrammers Who Heavily Photo-Edit Their Pictures And Exposed Them Online (New Pics)
Although everyone's been talking about the harm of social media to our mental health and are no longer taking everything that’s shared there for granted, photo editing apps are still in the game. And it seems like they won’t be going away any time soon.
A survey has found that a whopping 71% of social media users admit they edit their selfies before uploading. The percent is likely much bigger, since many Instagrammers tend to hide that fact from their audiences. Even if their pics speak louder than words...
So today we’re taking a look at some of the influencers that pushed the limits of fakery to a whole new level. Thanks to the subreddit “Instagram Reality,” which states that "It's unbelievable how some people get away with it while others don't!" we have quite a collection to look at and who knows, it may just put you off from Photoshop.
Psst! Check out our previous posts on Instagram vs reality pics here, here and here.

I Finally Found One In The Wild
Her face looks like a zombies. Those lips are frightening. Heck, the whole picture is.
I hope for her sake that her face is Photoshopped, too. Sadly, I have seen people go THAT far with the fillers.

Listen. I’ve been, let’s just say proportionately top heavy, since I was about 13 or 14, and can tell you from experience that it’s not anything to covet. The kind of attention you get is insulting and humiliating. People take one look at you and think you’re stupid and easy. Even in relatively modest clothing, you don’t look modest, and quite often you look fat or pregnant when you’re neither. They’re heavy, so they strain your neck and shoulders, and after a few years you have strap indentations on your shoulders. Dating is a nightmare of men who only want you because of that measurement, who only want to show that off, and who could care less about your intelligence, your wit, your actual accomplishments. They also have no idea what color your eyes are. Then you get older, and gravity takes the wheel. Yeah, that. Believe me, if I could afford it, I would have them cut down to a non-freakish size. I hate them because they have made life hell. Why purposely do that to yourself?
Every lunch in highschool the boys would try to throw fires (one time it was a whole pickle) into my cleavage and then cheer if it happened. Every damn day unless I completely covered up. Then they would bug me about being a prude. I found it was just “easier” to not cover up and try to ignore them. I’m 39 now and still have dreams about it.

Slender Man's creepy and deeply disturbed sister "Slender Woman."
My yitties are more than half that and it hurts just to do a little jumpy jump sometimes. Sigh* poor woman.
That's one way to make the breast look larger ( photoshop everything below them to ultra skinny
Yup! Lat's throw a few of same boat in the background. Seems the front one should be larger...you know? Kind of like perspective?
OMG - and she has no clue how completely ridiculous she looks? (I could probably cut & paste this sentence on each & every photo in this post).
Until now I was convinced that we haven't been visited by aliens, but now... I don't know...
The legs are ok, whats wrong with the lips ? Looks like she sucked on one of those pens and got the ink in her mouth
Why are we looking for aliens coming from space? They´re already among us!!!!
Omg. Omg. Omg. I can never unsee this but might have found my Halloween costume.
She forgot the ugly stumpy toes. Explains the face she's making though. 🤨
Okay this looks like something from 90s video game when you stretched out the resolution.
What's really f****d up is she wants to look like that.
And after the photoshoot she just walked across the water to the next shore, or maybe just jumped if she was in a hurry
A small step with those darn legs and there she is... 🤣
Load More Replies... For how jacked up the photo is, whoever edited the photo did a pretty good job not messing up the waves behind her while they were stretching her legs to oblivion. So good of a job infact, it makes me think it wasn't her that edited it.

Previously we spoke to the head moderator of r/Instagramreality nicknamed Zaza9000, shared some insights into the widely popular subreddit with 1M members. It turns out that recently, there's been more interest in video editing than photo editing, for instance. "Especially apps like Facetune2 and SNOW that allow you to edit your body and certain Instagram filters that can make your lips appear bigger and make your skin unrealistically perfect. Seeing them glitch in videos has been a really popular topic on the sub," they explained.

What is more, some Instagrammers go as far as faking their lifestyles just to get followers, so it’s not only looks that receive an extreme dose of “editing.” The moderator explained: “for us non-influencer, regular people, of course, travel isn't always an option, especially if it's just for a vacation away. Unfortunately, there have been a few influencers that don't care, to be blunt. Some of them feel like traveling and being on vacation is necessary and well-deserved even though people in the medical field, teachers, retail workers, etc. don't get to just jump on a jet and get away."
Something Looks Off
Same Person… Wow
I Know That This Is Traditional Wedding Makeup… But The Amount Of Photoshop Is Just Insane
It’s no secret that addiction to social media has become a grim reality for many of these Instagrammers who desperately fake their entire lives. However, for a person to be addicted to anything means that the thing they're addicted to has taken over their lives, and that they as individuals have lost the power of choice.
“This is the effect that addiction has, it robs the individual of the ability to stop. Even if that individual is aware of the negative physical, psychological, or financial consequences, they still cannot stop. It is essential to not use the word 'addiction' flippantly; if a person is addicted, then they are in need of professional help and support," Albuquerque, the Head of Treatment for the UKAT Group, explained to Bored Panda. According to them, nobody should throw around the term “addiction” around that easily, although it’s clear that many Instagrammers fall into the category that defines this diagnosis.

She Looks Good In Her 60s, Why Would She Do This?
She doesn't look that good. She looks old and puffy and as if she's drunk or high. If she would just dress her age and use makeup that suits her face, she'd look fine, but with this... not so much, not without photoshop.

I'm proud of Bored Panda for including males in these articles. Something in the past they did not. Bravo.
I'm disturbed that so many think this is needed. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and other insecurities are on show here and it's not good that so many young girls go along with it. I get the tweeking and hiding a pimple or little things (who doesn't hate pimples) but this is too much and it worries me.
I won’t negatively comment on any of these. It just highlights how deeply insecure some people are about their appearance, living in a truly hellish world
Yeah. I would have roast them, but I'm too nice to say something rude

After this post I feel pain in the eyes and soul. Tell me you hate yourself without telling you hate yourself.
There is nothing to expose here. These pics are ridiculously unrealistic and quite obviously phony.
The majority of these people are mentally ill. Shaming is not going to help.
Weirdly, I just get mad at people like this. Yes, I get that they're insecure AF, but for the love of all that is natural, how TF can they look at the "adter" pics and think it looks natural or good? How can they think others won't notice? The stupidity runs rampant.
I didn’t really like this article, ok some of the images are so obviously photoshopped it can be seen as comical, but some are very subtle and all of them highlight the fact that these people are deeply unhappy with how they look and feel they can’t present themselves as their authentic selves online. Bored Panda is one of the only websites I see as producing wholly positive and affirming content and this article does not feel like it fits with Bored Panda’s ethos and outlook.
i agree that these people are unhappy with themselves, but i'm not sure what you mean by not fitting with BP's ethos and outlook. there have been many of this type of article posted before, along with posts making fun of or shaming things people say. most of them aren't positive or wholesome at all... (and yes, the old Bored Panda was mostly just about art and people's creations, but this shift in content has been going on for a while now)

I can’t laugh at them. Some of these display such severe body dysmorphia that I just worry about their mental health.
I said it before, and I'll say it again: I want a horror movie about an insane plastic surgeon who kidnaps those fake Instagram posers, anesthetizes them and performs a couple of surgeries on them till they look exactly like the pictures they post. And then they just wake up one day in their own home, don't remember that they were kidnapped in the first place, and realize they cannot walk with those spider legs, or that a couple of organs are missing to achieve a tiny waist. Pretty please, Hollywood?
They would just post pictures of their perfect new look I reckon. There's a show called 'botched', mostly it's ppl who have had bad plastic surgery and want it fixed, but sometimes the doctors meet ppl who have already gone too far and are still wanting more. They won't do it, they just give them a graphic warning if what could happen if they get it done by another Dr, and question any Dr that would willingly do it. Sadly many walk away determined to get the surgery regardless. I like your idea, I just think that should be a horrifying twist: that they didn't get the message "Thank u guardian angel, u gave me the body I always wanted #dieyoung #27 club". Ok and now I'm creeped out 😅
Load More Replies... Holy crap but why? Any one with eyes can see those are fake so what is the effin point?
It is so sad, when you see so many women trying to look like Barbie, who were not exactly beautiful.
I just find it incredibly sad that these people have such insecurity and obvious self image issues. They all look ridiculous.
Didn't Bored Panda feature recently an article about photo consent, i.e., asking people whether consent to the publication of their photos on the net?
