Due to the invariance properties of cross-ratio, Möbius transformations are often used to map a set of points or other geometric object into a symmetric position to simplify a problem studied. However, when the points are mapped under a Möbius transformation, the distortion of the Euclidean geometry is rarely considered. Here, we identify several cases where the distortion caused by this symmetrization can be measured in terms of the Lipschitz constant of the Möbius transformation in the Euclidean or the chordal metric.
