NDTV – A study by the University of South Australia, published in Computers in Human Behaviour, found that women who use dating apps are more likely to consider or undergo cosmetic surgery than non-users. The research links this to the appearance-focused nature of dating apps, where profile pictures and selfies drive attention and validation. Similar to Instagram and Snapchat, these platforms heighten body image pressure, pushing some women toward cosmetic procedures such as fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, rhinoplasty, and liposuction.
