It seems like the groundwork was laid for this by the glorification of girls and women with huge false breasts, initially normalized by publications like Playboy. Breast ‘augmentation’ is brutal, dangerous and ruins natural sensation, as well as natural function.

Yet, these awful repercussions are not required to be advertised as caveats in ads promoting this surgery, as cigarettes must have.

Social pressure to adhere to unattainable and unnatural beauty standards leads women now to not only subject themselves to this, but also to pay for it. Even the advent of supposedly body positive acceptance of curvier figures (instead of just curvy boobs on a stick thin frame) has led to butt implant popularity as well!

The social acceptance of these plastic surgery adaptations in the absence of a medically necessary mastectomy or grievous accident has led to the growth of an unnecessary and bloated plastic surgery industry that doesn’t value health at all, yet is allowed to be considered a part of the medical profession.

How natural is it for them to glom onto any justification to profit over mutilation of healthy flesh? After all, isn’t the entire industry of advertising itself based on convincing people they are unhappy or inadequate and will be made whole by purchasing more useless crap?

Government regulations against the legality of convincing people that their healthy bodies are inadequate to sell mutilation surgeries is one of the few aspects of government regulation that makes sense, as would be a return to healthcare companies being required to be nonprofits.
