The sample consists of (316) adolescents from Jeddah with equal distribution between the sexes (158 females and 158 males), and (175 who edit their Selfies and 141 who do not). The ages of the study sample ranged from (13 to 21) years.

The study concluded that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between perfectionism and self-esteem, and a statistically significant positive correlation between perfectionism and body image, and a statistically significant negative correlation between self-esteem and body image. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences in the perfectionism according to the editing of the selfies favored the photo-editing group. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences in self-esteem was according to editing of the selfies favored the non-photo-editing group.

Based on the results of the study, the researcher recommends imposing strict laws on advertising agencies when publishing edited photos of celebrities and models, these laws include attaching a warning to the edited photos, following the example of the countries that have implemented such laws. The relevant authorities, such as Communications and Information Technology Commission, should take steps to block some of the applications used to edit selfies in order to reduce their use. The researcher further recommends that consumers, and those interested in marketing and advertising, as well as the ministry of commerce and investment, businessmen and businesswomen, to support goods and products produced by companies and sites that provide and publish unedited and unretouched images of models.
