Instagram to Remove
Plastic Surgery Filters.
The move comes as concerns
rise over the filters’ negative
impact on mental health and
body image.
The “FixMe” and "Plastica" effects, which both
simulate post-surgery alterations,
are among those being removed. .
A study in the 'Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology' has noted a rise in selfie dysmorphia, a “social-media induced dissatisfaction with appearance.".
Spark AR, the Facebook-owned
company behind Instagram Story
filters, will be removing the effects
in the coming weeks.
We want Spark AR effects to
be a positive experience and
are re-evaluating our existing policies as they relate to well-being. , Spark AR, via statement
