Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon.

And we're going to talk about buckle fat and nose gaps today on the podcast.

These are some trending topics. I know you guys have seen buckle fat removal going on on all your favorite celebrities and maybe even nose gap surgery. So beauty trends that we need to unpack

and let me tell you my take on these things because everyone is jumping on the bandwagon

of buckle fat good, but I don't necessarily believe in that. I think it's right for the right

person, but it can really change the aging face in the future.

And there's always unrealistic beauty standards that women are faced with and expected to live up to,

whether it's broad hips, thin waist, large butts, you know, big lips, there's always something

that society is picking at to make us feel inadequate and

insecure, that we need to have slimmed cheeks because we can't have rounded cheeks, that we need

to take out every inch of fat from our face to look like all of us, Bella Hadid. We begin to nitpick

what we don't like about ourselves, what we wish we could change,

and we're hard on ourselves.

It's hard enough when you look in the mirror every day to not be your own worst critic.

But when society starts telling you that you need to get bulk of fat and it's trending

and you've got to get slim and contoured and you can't have rounded cheeks.

That's the last thing we need to do to curse our younger women and younger daughters with this

idea that they must have contoured, tapered, fat reduced faces.

With social media and the internet inundating us with all these images and ideas,

it's hard to not get caught up in harmful body image and dysmorphic criticisms of our own features,

beauty trends like buckle fat removal and nose gaps.

You guys have seen this recently on Leah Michelle and Chrissy Tigen.
