Love the statement - "Chasing the “perfect” face would be denying myself the chance to age– the definition of being human." Because so true! I notice our age group is terrified of aging. I can't recall if it was always this way or post COVID when so much of our early 20's was snatched away. But the phenomenon of plastic sugary and how much more accessible it has become - makes me think how even being human/aging is resorting to consumerism, i.e. being able to "buy the perfect face" everything is deemed attainable, IF you have enough money. I love this topic and I think being that we haven't even begun to see the long term effects of plastic surgery en masse
omg thank you Jazmyne for reading and replying!! I didn't even make the connection of COVID and the loss of our youth... I think theres definitely something there. That and the increase of viewing ourselves and others through instagram posts and TikTok videos (that definitely spiked during isolation). We see our faces and others so much more now.
