Mothers who love taking selfies raise children who are more likely to consider plastic surgery as teenagers due to “facial dissatisfaction,” a troubling new study found.

Researchers from China studied 541 mother-child pairs, and discovered moms who engage in “self-related behavior” have self-absorbed kids who grow to love taking photos of themselves, engage in “body surveillance,” and aren’t satisfied with their own self image.

Both boys and girls with an average age of 16 who exhibited those traits considered going under the knife to alter their appearance, the study published in the Journal of Health Psychology found.

If a person considers plastic surgery, they are much more likely to actually have a procedure, according to the study, which did not report how many teens go under the knife.

Researchers said there was there was no direct causation between selfie-loving mothers and teenagers considering cosmetic surgery, but instead suggested that the mother’s behavior indirectly influences their offspring.

Mothers have a major influence on their children’s body image and are the first role models for self-perception, according to another study published by Brigham Young University.

In June, New Jersey momfluencer Noel LaPalomento, 28, was roasted for instilling deranged beauty standards in her 7-year-old daughter Giada after bringing the young girl to a tanning salon.

Reality TV and business mogul Kim Kardashian faced serious backlash after her 12-year-old daughter North West appeared in a TikTok with a nose ring, decked out in fake tattoos, and sporting black grills over her teeth.

Selfie obsession is associated with narcissism and can lead to other dysfunctional personality traits, according to a different study from the University of Palermo.

That study found daughters who perceived their mothers to be less caring, more overprotective, and less emotionally close were more likely to struggle with body dissatisfaction.
