Since most of the results of these lip filling and Botox treatments are so obviously worse than the before pictures (some grotesquely so) it brought something to mind. That is, the distortions of perception associated with things like 'Body Dysmorphia', Anorexia and so on. But more interesting - distortions associated with right brain hemisphere dysfunction as documented by Iain McGilchrist. Are people focusing on details like fullness of lips and losing sight of the integrated whole? ie. their face in correct proportion and with natural appearance. Because it seems to me that things have moved from subtle enhancements like slightly fuller lips to something which has obviously gone too far (including among seemingly younger and younger women) and most men would dislike. Why isn't this obvious? Am I assuming too much there, and are men driving this process too with what they find attractive?
Maybe it's something as mundane as treatments being more widely available and affordable, because I notice more and more people with obvious and quite weird enhancements.
