Experts discuss the rise of 'Instagram face' and its impact on self-image

CBS News reported that there is increasing public conversation about the phenomenon known as 'Instagram face,' a look characterized by certain cosmetic enhancements popularized on social media platforms.

On a CBS segment, hosts Vlad and Kelly, along with Dr. David Cangello, analyzed the trend's rise and discussed the cultural implications of altering one's appearance to match this idealized image.

The discussion included questions about when efforts at self-improvement might cross into self-erasure, reflecting concerns about identity and authenticity in the age of social media.

The segment also raised the broader issue of whether such personal aesthetic choices should be a matter of public interest or concern.
