Abstract
Beauty, it seems, is a fascination inherent in human nature. Research shows that an attractive face plays a significant factor in human life, such as in the areas of appreciation and judgment.The growing demand for cosmetic treatments is amplified by social media and influencer marketing. However, there are possible negative effects, such as addiction and dissatisfaction with treatment outcome in people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It remains important to recognize that risks are inherent in medical procedures.
