Scientists at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School’s otolaryngology department, who specializes in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery say your nose can look bigger than usual in your selfies.

The average selfie, taken about 12 inches from the face, makes the nasal base appear approximately 30 percent wider and the nasal tip 7 percent wider than if the photograph had been taken at 5 feet.

Hope you have long arms, a selfie stick or someone who is willing to take a bunch of photos for you.

BTW, isn’t there an app for that???
