To what extent is the quest for aesthetic perfection considered healthy?

In Brazil, the number of aesthetic procedures, plastic surgeries, the use of anabolic steroids and other substances are growing more and more.

Have you ever heard of the “Brazilian butt”? It’s an aesthetic goal that many people around the world want to achieve, and to do so, they turn to the operating tables.

In RioONLINE! Espelho, espelho meu, we’ll explore the motivations behind this quest, the psychological impacts and the dangers involved in some of these procedures, such as health complications, emotional dependency and constant dissatisfaction.

It will be an opportunity to reflect together on the role of the media, social pressure and how this can affect our self-esteem and our perception of beauty.
