In an era where social media platforms and traditional media have become inseparable from daily life, the images and ideals they project play a pivotal role in shaping societal standards of beauty. For years, mainstream media has promoted a narrow, often unattainable vision of physical perfection—slim figures, flawless skin, and symmetrical features. This idealized notion of beauty, celebrated for its "perfection," has long dominated advertising, fashion, and entertainment.
