Taboo on the Bus

Social Media dysmorphia - the truth of fillers, botox, and the beauty standard


Listen Later

Has the accessability and normalisation of aesthetic procedures and fillers warped our ability to accept our natural features? I realised that I am simply tolerating some of my insecurities with the idea that I will eventually get procedures and fillers to ‘fix’ it, and is this becoming common culture within society? Has the accessibility of fillers and exposure to such content begun to normalise changing ourselves instead of accepting?


Sit down with me in the long-form version of Taboo on the Bus to discuss:

how accessible and normalised aesthetic procedures have become
the every-changing, consistently unattainable beauty-standard 
how marketers and advertisers influence and sell us insecurities
How social media makes us desire aesthetic procedures
The racial cherry-picking within western beauty standards
Social media dysmorphia 


Again, I will clarify that I do not disasgree with aesthetic procedures/fillers. I personally would like them, but what I don’t agree with is how normalised, accessible, and promoted they are.


All of my love,

Zara
