Manage episode 372696778 series 2330847
Fox, eye, pixie nose, butterfly lips – these trendy treatments have certainly sparked some ethical debates among us medical injectors. But why is that? When Dr. Alex contacted me about this topic, I instantly knew it was podcast-worthy material.
Seeing these potentially risky trends racking up thousands of likes on Instagram and TikTok can leave us feeling uneasy. It's natural to wonder if patients genuinely desire these alterations. Are we missing something here?
Personally, I've always believed in timeless beauty that stands the test of time. But what's driving patients to chase after these procedures? I reckon Instagram trends like these showcase a sense of power, pushing the boundaries of what fillers can do. As we are aware social media rewards the extreme, but does this translate to real life too?
In this episode, Dr. Alex and I dive deep into the risks of these extreme treatments, dissecting the motivations behind them. We also address a crucial point: why the results you see on Instagram aren't necessarily what you'll get in the long run.
Cultural influences play a major role too. We'll discuss how aesthetic ideals differ across cultures and how these trends can be impacted by cultural norms.
It's a thought-provoking conversation that touches on some controversial and much-needed topics, I know you’re going to love this one.
