Listen, we’ll just say it — Instagram is a liar. With so many picture editing apps available for any kind of phone, people can now change their faces or bodies with some clever finger swiping. It happens for millions of reasons — but the biggest one is that it’s kind of what they secretly want to look like in real life.
Celebrities have money, which means they have another way to edit their appearances: plastic surgery. All these things can be dangerous because when push comes to shove, people DON’T look like that, and to present plastic surgery or photo editing as if it’s real can foster serious insecurities — in young women especially.
All this is to say, we’re obsessed with Social Media vs. Reality’s Instagram account. With simple side by side comparison photos, she’s doing some online vigilante justice and showcasing what people really look like without the carefully cultivated angle. And so we’ve rounded up some of the most shocking before and after photos, courtesy of the IG account — and you won’t believe the difference in some of them!
