People live on a daily basis constantly exposed to images and certain “social mandates” that promote ideals of beauty that are misadapted to reality, which lead people with insecure traits to develop an erroneous body image and a critical view of their own body.

The gaze, judgment and external assessment and opinion can influence the way a person perceives their own body.

Negative comments or social pressure to meet certain physical standards They can generate a dissociation between the person and their own body, leading to feelings of insecurity and non-acceptance of their own body.

Likewise, social networks and the constant exposure of “ideal or perfect” bodies can have a negative impact on the way people perceive themselves.

Cecilia Roth: “There is still a culture of perfection, thinness and youth”

Low self-esteem is generated, insecurities that lead to taking decision to undergo beauty practices, surgeries that can put lives at risk, due to mala praxis medical and difficulties during the procedures.

In these cases you can never blame a person for performing them and trusting the medical professional. In any case, I affirm that the professional, ethical and medical responsibility lies exclusively with the doctor who practices the aesthetic intervention.

Surgical aesthetic interventions and surgeries: in Argentina they grew by 15% last year

Without prejudice to the above, You cannot judge a person for choosing to have surgeryit is society that pushes and forges unrealistic standards of beauty.

I emphasize the importance of putting the empathic capacity into practice and learning not to talk about another’s body, not to give an opinion on other people’s bodies on social networks, we never know what internal and subjective battles that person is going through.
