Podcast: The influence of social media on cosmetic procedures

The normalisation of cosmetic procedures on social media undermines the serious nature of seemingly minor procedures, and even going under the knife. These ever-shifting beauty standards and perceptions of cosmetic procedures are harmful to how users feel about their appearance, and ultimately how inclined they will be to change it.

My podcast includes insightful interviews with an Aesthetic Nurse Practioner, a woman who has undergone cosmetic procedures, and young women who gave a sense of what it is like for those who are hit hardest by the issue.
