Digital Meat

Intro

According to 205 surveys, women are far more likely than men to use face editing. Social media are exacerbating appearance-related insecurities, with women, in particular, expressing dissatisfaction with their faces. These platforms are increasingly imposing unrealistic beauty standards on women, making them vulnerable to criticism if their appearance doesn’t meet these standards. In the digital world, our faces undergo constant transformations with the help of face editing software. While we can swiftly address areas of dissatisfaction, these alterations often happen more dramatically and rapidly than what’s achievable through traditional plastic surgery.
