fascinating to watch this all unfold from both a social perspective and an economic perspective. implants have become more available to the masses, but certain versions of the procedure are still very expensive. im watching people i know get expensive surgeries, only to undo them not so later on. sometimes the implants are paired with a whole-body transformation and sudden interest in appearance - tanning, botox, fillers, etc. and now the tans are fading and fillers are being dissolved. is this indicative of a cultural vibe shift? is this indicative of a change in their mental state, wherein they care less about appearance? hard to say, but its been curious to watch.
