整容客户低龄化元凶竟是自拍？

plague[pleg]: v. 使折磨，使苦恼；纠缠，缠扰

"Snapchat dysmorphia,” a phenomenon coined in a 2018 paper published in a JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Viewpoint by Boston University researchers, refers to a trend in which people are bringing plastic surgeons their own heavily doctored or filtered selfies, and requesting to look more like their photos. The report noted that 55% of plastic surgeons cite seeing patients who want to improve their appearance in selfies, a request that comes more often from teens, who are more frequent social media users than older adults.

2018年波士顿大学研究人员发表在《美国医学会杂志整容观点》上的一篇论文创造了一个新词——“Snapchat畸形恐惧症”，指的是人们带着自己精修或美颜过的自拍照请医生把自己整得更像照片模样的一种趋势。报告指出，55%的整形外科医生声称曾见过想改善自己的自拍形象的客户，提出这种要求的更多的是青少年，他们使用社交媒体比成年人更频繁。

doctor['dɑktɚ]: v. 篡改，伪造；修理（机器）

Although Snapchat dysmorphia is not an official mental disorder listed in the DSM, the report highlighted its similarities to body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a disorder classified on the obsessive-compulsive spectrum characterized by people going to great, often harmful lengths, to hide perceived imperfections and affects roughly 2% of Americans.
