Summary
Afua and Peter explore the "undetectable" world of deep plane facelifts, examining why celebrities are finally trading surgical secrecy for viral transparency. They dissect the astronomical costs of modern "tweakments" and the rising pressure to match AI-generated perfection as surgery recipients get younger than ever before.

| 0:00.0 | Peter, I take it you have not had a deep, plain facelift. But question, would you feel comfortable |
| 0:07.2 | sharing if you had? The fact that you assumed that I haven't. I know you woke up like that, |
| 0:13.9 | Peter. There was no surgical intervention required. It's lots of moisturizers. It's funny, |
| 0:20.0 | you know, it's not something that I'm pretty agnostic about it. |
| 0:23.2 | I don't think that I worry too much about what I look like and I don't sort of spend too long in front of the mirror. |
| 0:30.7 | So, but I'm equally, I understand if people are unhappy with how they look, finding ways to improve that, whether it's through surgical interventions, |

| 1:12.7 | deep plain facelift. I've actually not had any surgical interventions. But I'm also, even though, |
| 1:17.4 | as I said in the last episode, I've got some concerns about the way we're all trying to |
| 1:21.9 | assimilate to a very specific beauty norm. I'm really not judging people who do because your appearance, you should have agency |
| 1:29.5 | over it. And I very much understand why people feel they want to change things, because it's an |
| 1:35.5 | intensely pressurized environment we live in. And there's lots of research that shows conforming to |
| 1:41.2 | what society regards as attractive, it is a major advantage in life. |
