Article Synopsis
- Increased exposure to social media correlates with heightened body image concerns, leading to a larger interest in cosmetic surgery, particularly influenced by celebrity aesthetics and advertisement content.
- This cross-sectional study targeted adults in Saudi Arabia, using a self-administered questionnaire to assess how social media shapes self-image and desires for cosmetic procedures.
- Among 1064 participants, a significant portion was under 25, predominantly female, with a small percentage indicating an increased desire for cosmetic surgery due to social media influences, while overall acceptance of surgery was low, especially among younger, less experienced individuals.
