Few months back, a random girl on social media was bashed for looking similar to Kylie Jenner. Her response to the statement was actually smart and brutal, she quoted, " I was born with this face...Kylie Jenner bought it.!" Fair enough! I guess. The question is that, why Kylie went through such procedures? Is it the insecurity thing or the urge to look fabulous by setting some of the unnecessary beauty standards. Not only Kylie but her whole Kardashian family is influenced by such type of lifestyle.
These beauty standards are characterized by a focus on curvy, hourglass figures, full lips, chiseled cheekbones, and flawless skin. It is not wrong to go through such surgeries and look better. Everybody has their own life and decisions but as a prominent figure you need to tell every detailed pros and cons about your decisions and it's outcome.
People in western culture see plastic surgery as a way to enhance their natural beauty and boost their self-confidence, others argue that the pursuit of "perfection" through artificial means can be harmful to both individuals and society as a whole.
In recent years, the Kardashian beauty standards have been subject to criticism for promoting unrealistic beauty ideals and perpetuating harmful beauty standards. Many argue that these standards place undue pressure on women to conform to a specific, often unattainable, beauty standard. Some people become addicted to plastic surgery and continue to seek out more procedures to achieve their desired appearance, which can be dangerous and costly. All surgeries come with potential risks and complications, such as infections, bleeding, anesthesia reactions, and scarring. Plastic surgery can result in serious complications such as nerve damage, blood clots, and even death.
Other countries also have their own beauty evaluating benchmark. Talking about Korea, Fair skin is highly valued in South Korea and is often seen as a symbol of beauty, purity, and wealth. Large, round eyes with double eyelids are seen as attractive in Korean beauty standards.
Fair skin is often seen as a beauty ideal in India, with many beauty products marketed towards lightening the skin. However, there is also a growing movement towards celebrating and embracing darker skin tones.
The pressure to conform to these standards has been criticized for perpetuating unrealistic beauty ideals and contributing to body image issues among women.
The peer pressure to look good and meet such standards can lead to a variety of negative consequences, including low self-esteem, body image issues, and even mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
To overcome this pressure, it's important to focus on self-acceptance and self-love, rather than trying to meet the unrealistic beauty standards set by others. Remember, you are beautiful just the way you are. Don't let peer pressure make you feel otherwise.
