“…Furthermore, the use of a single lens-reflex digital camera portrait as opposed to a smartphone selfie may have impacted the degree of changes made to facial structures. 30 Lastly, this is the first use of Emotrics software outside of the world of facial palsy assessment. While the program has demonstrated reliability and validity, its use for the assessment of digitally enhanced photographs has not been previously studied.…”

Quantitative Analysis of Enhanced Selfies in a Young Adult Population

The use of filters and editing tools for perfecting selfies is increasing. While some aesthetic experts have touted the ability of this technology to help patients convey their aesthetic goals, others have expressed concerns about the unrealistic expectations that may come from the ability for individuals to digitally alter their own photos in these so-called “super-selfies.” The aim of the study is to determine the changes that individuals seek when enhancing selfies. Twenty subjects participated in this study between July 25 and September 24, 2019. Subjects had two sets of headshots taken (neutral and smile) and were provided an introduction on the use of the Facetune2 app. Subjects received a digital copy of their photographs and were asked to download the free mobile app. After 1 week of trialing the different tools for enhancing their appearance, subjects submitted their self-determined most attractive edited photographs. Changes in marginal reflex distance (MRD) 1 and 2, nose height and width, eyebrow height, facial width, skin smoothness, skin hue, and saturation as well as overall image brightness were recorded. Paired two-tailed t-test was used to evaluate pre- and post-facial measurements. There were no statistically significant changes identified in the analysis of the altered photos in neutral expression. Analysis of all smiling photographs revealed that subjects increased their smile angle (right: +2.92 mm, p = 0.04; left: +3.58 mm, p < 0.001). When smiling photographs were assessed by gender, females were found to significantly increase their MRD2 (right: +0.64 mm, p = 0.04; left: +0.74 mm, p = 0.05) and their smile angle (right: +1.90 mm, p = 0.03; left: +2.31 mm, p = 0.005) while also decreasing their nose height (−2.8 mm, p = 0.04). Males did not significantly alter any of the facial measurements assessed. This study identifies the types of changes that individuals seek when enhancing selfies and specifies the different aspects of image adjustment that may be sought based on a patient's gender.

“…The reason people often perceive selfie images differently is that the image is taken at less than a metre, where noses and lips look larger. 18,19 As mentioned above, if a smartphone image and DSLR image are taken from the same distance, perspective can be matched.…”

Standardisation of image acquisition in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is critical to accurately communicate changes from cosmetic surgical and non-surgical interventions. Depth of Field, Exposure, Perspective and point of view are the four factors that need to be replicated between photographic sessions to accurately represent these changes without the introduction of photographic bias. Despite many excellent articles on standardisation in plastic surgery photography, no paper fully discusses the four areas that lead to consistency in photographs taken at different times. Depth of field, exposure, perspective and point of view cover all the variables required. We have a system which locks many variables in place, leaving final composition matching to the photographer, the only area that needs intelligent input. There are also misunderstandings in the literature about some of these that need explanation, particularly exposure and perspective.

“…4 Utilizing mobile phones for photography may be tempting; however, their small sensor size combined with wide-angle lenses causes facial feature distortion. 5 On a full-frame DSLR, our fixed focal length 100 mm macro lens accurately represents the subject's features and, at a distance of 1.8 m from the subject, provides a depth of field of 25 cm, capturing the entire face in focus. Lens choice should be modified appropriately if using a cropped-sensor camera.…”
