Instagram is banning plastic surgery filters on the app. The platform will be removing “all effects associated with plastic surgery” from their face filter gallery, as they “re-evaluat[e]” and try to prioritize users’ well-being. Previously, filters like “Plastica” augmented lips and brows to show a post-plastic surgery look, and “Fix Me” plastered pre-surgery markings and notations (like “lift” and “fill”) on users’ faces. Instagram also recently modified its restrictions against weight loss products and cosmetic procedures. (The Cut)
