Such a fab read. x I 100% agree, it's just too easy to blame beauty standards and it's important to hold clinics accountable too.

You made some fantastic point there. Smoke and mirrors! I am wondering how common these instagram faces are in real life. I have only one colleague with visible lip fillers and when I saw her the first time I had to do a doubletake because the contrast with everyone else's face was staggering. I am still unsure if in a good or bad way. Which says a lot! She would have looked perfectly fine in an IG photo at a brunch with her friends, but to see her at a desk felt out-of-place. Did this happen to anyone else?

I think generationally I’ve seen a lot of gen z with it, and then outside of london too! So I think it’s almost quite big pockets of society depending on where you live.

Interesting about your colleague - did anyone comment on it?

Ahh well, British people are made of something else. Geordie shore docet ;) I think you're right though, it might be more common than I expected. I don't know if anyone commented on her tweaks, might be a bit over the line at work
