Based　on　the　tripartite　influence　model,　the　present　study　linked　investment　in　others＇　selfies　on　social　media　to　facial　dissatisfaction　and　cosmetic　surgery　consideration.　We　also　tested　the　mediating　role　of　appearance　comparisons　and　general　attractiveness　internalization　in　these　relationships.　Additionally,　potential　gender　differences　in　the　proposed　model　were　examined.　A　sample　of　884　Chinese　adolescents　(mean　age　=　16.80　+/-　0.92,　ranging　from　14　to　19　years　old)　completed　self-reported　measures　of　investment　in　others＇　selfies,　appearance　comparisons,　general　attractiveness　internalization,　facial　dissatisfaction,　and　cosmetic　surgery　consideration.　Results　showed　that　investment　in　others＇　selfies　was　positively　associated　with　facial　dissatisfaction　and　cosmetic　surgery　consideration.　Path　analysis　further　revealed　that　investment　in　others＇　selfies　was　associated　with　appearance　comparisons　and　general　attractiveness　internalization,　which　in　turn　were　associated　with　facial　dissatisfaction,　and　then　facial　dissatisfaction　was　related　to　cosmetic　surgery　consideration.　Additionally,　there　were　indirect　associations　between　investment　in　others＇　selfies　and　cosmetic　surgery　consideration　via　general　attractiveness　internalization　and　facial　dissatisfaction　respectively,　but　not　via　appearance　comparisons.　No　gender　difference　was　found　in　the　proposed　model.　Findings　of　the　present　study　provide　preliminary　support　for　the　tripartite　influence　model　in　the　context　of　investment　in　others＇　selfies　on　social　media　and　cosmetic　surgery　consideration　and　enrich　the　literature　on　body　image　and　cosmetic　surgery　in　the　Chinese　context.
