So basically, body dysmorphia driven mainly by weaponized social media algorithms + an accompanying structure of businesses set up to physically exploit said body dysmorphia.
This is a whole thing, varying genres of content on Tiktok.
Get your teeth filed down to pokey nublets, get fancy dentures, at age 22, don't worry about now constantly needing fairly high intensity dental maintenance for the rest of your life, in a country where Dental coverage is part of the 'premium plan.'
Get a brazillian butt lift, aka, basically silicone implants for your ass, don't worry that they rupture and leak and stink and can cause toxic reactions.
Get lip filler, get botox, all the time, don't mind that they're literally neurotoxins.
Just go on ozempic, don't worry that you now have a life long dependency on this drug, hope you can always afford it, forever.
The wildest part is that unlike in South Korean, where cosmetic surgery as a common thing has been normalized for a good deal of time, and is at least fairly well regulated... the people who are actually doing these procedures in the US are very often just wildly unqualified, turn out to be complete frauds, doing medical malpractice or unlicensed practice.
