Kimberly Kucharek, 26,ย says Instagram has had a huge impact on why she continues to get cosmetic procedures like lip injections.

“You’re comparing yourself to other girls …ย so you’re almost always striving for perfection,” she said.

“Let’s say you post aย selfieย and you see another girl post aย selfieย and you see that she has bigger lips or nicer cheekbones or whatever, and it’s easy to attain, that is when you compare yourself,” she said.

Kucharekย is a laser technician in Vancouver andย first got lip injections when she was 21.

She says theย constant comparison of selfies has made her feel more insecure.
