Exploring the dark side of the cosmetic surgery and injectables industry globally. No public relations, no glamourising, no minimising. Aesthetic plastic surgery, also known as cosmetic surgery, is an industry swallowed by positive marketing and glamourisation. Social media has played a significant role in minimising the risks of going under the knife while curating feeds of only beautiful results. The dark side is never explored. This podcast will be the balance the industry needs; the voice the industry doesn't want you to hear. Produced by Michael Fraser and Maddison Johnstone.

E9 - Pathologising Ugliness

Treating differences in looks as a deformity or disease which needs to be fixed or cured is a common marketing tactic used by the cosmetic surgery and injectables industry.

Philosopher and physician Dr Yves Saint James Aquino joins us to discuss the concept of pathologising ugliness, and his research behind doctors using medical terms to suggest cosmetic surgery is a need.

It is a huge topic to explore, and we touch on bullying, abnormal vs normal, “fixing” our healthy bodies, shifting beauty standards, trends, and Asian features being pathologised.
