Ep 7 edit3

The podcast hosts discuss the pressure people feel to conform to beauty standards and the lengths they go to achieve them. They specifically mention Kim Kardashian's procedures and the use of a drug called Vigovi for weight loss. They also talk about other popular procedures like breast augmentation, liposuction, and double eyelid surgery. The influence of social media, particularly Instagram, is highlighted as a factor that intensifies these beauty standards. In India, skin lightening treatments and hair removal are popular, and societal pressure to conform to these standards is discussed. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying reasons behind these choices and the negative consequences that can arise. Close your eyes and just for a minute imagine this, you are going to move to a new country and no one knows you were there and you are given an option, before moving you can do any amount of changes to your body and your face, no strings attached, no financial constraints, no one is going to judge you either, what would you do to your body in that case, would you get naturally thicker eyebrows, longer lashes maybe, a slimmer nose or plumpier lips or as they say a brighter complexion, longer hair which is straight or curly hair which has the most perfectly defined curls, would you take your belly fat and move it around somewhere maybe to your butt or to the sides to get a perfect hourglass shape or do you just want to change the shape of your face maybe, want more angled cheekbones or jawline or maybe you know simply you want to just get rid of all your stretch marks or any scars on your body, open your eyes now and answer yourself truthfully, did you even for a second want to change anything about yourself and mind you there is no judgement over here. Hello and welcome to our podcast Coffee Plus Sistren, I am your host Vainika and with me is my friend and co-host Sanjana and today we are going to talk about Kim Kardashian's big butt but not really, we are going to talk about the procedures she has done to herself to get to the big butt and how the big butt is not big anymore and it just might become big again in another few years but yes we are going to talk about how she basically fit herself into that infamous or famous Madeleine Monroe dress and you know it's so talked about that she lost weight so suddenly and that's one of the you know the trending things right now which is called Vigovi, yeah the secret behind her weight loss is not some magic exercise routine but a magic drug which is gaining a lot of popularity especially in the states, basically you know how Vigovi started was Ozempic, it was a drug catered to type 2 diabetes people and it was a very sort of important drug for them right, it's actually quite transformational but what's happening is that when the company or even the people realized that Ozempic had a side effect which is you know weight loss, they started doing you know those offhanded prescriptions of getting Ozempic prescribed to them for weight loss and when the company realized they were like oh yay let's do this you know so they did a whole FDA trial, they did a trial right but on obese people and it showed that yeah weight loss was a you know this was happening and then they rebranded the data and now it's called Vigovi for weight loss and it's quite cheap actually I think it's like $4000 for a month or something like that, quite affordable from USA standards right, quite affordable from Kim Kardashian standards, yeah and the thing is people started using it a lot to a point that I think Ozempic, there was a crisis in the US, people who actually needed Ozempic didn't have access to it because it just wasn't there in the market, it was all Vigovi and it's quite sad and there were TikTok trends and reels and everything that you know people want to go for a wedding and they want to lose weight quickly, oh Vigovi and didn't realize the underlying science behind it which was that it suppresses your diet right and you're not getting enough nutrients and everything and you know you're sort of losing weight and even the trial was done on obese people not on healthy weight people. The crux is that human beings will go to any extent to fit in with whatever is the current beauty standard, yeah but who is defining these standards and to what extent are humans ready to go, so for example Sanjana this is just one of the many things, Kim Kardashian's big butt, her sister Kylie Jenner has admitted to having breast augmentation when she was so old, 19 when she was still a teenager so young and obviously there's always been things like liposuction and Korea is crazy after this thing called double eyelid surgery and there's like always some trend right going on and of course nose job and getting those big pouty lips, that's still a thing I think everyone, it's become injectable so now everyone just gets injections and makes their lips plumper and everything, and the new fad is buccal fat removal surgery where your face looks sunken, you have sunken cheeks like Bella Hadid has now, you know Vigovi ka side effect is actually it reduces your buccal fat so you get the horrored cheek effect so that's one of the effects of Vigovi as well and all of this is hugely enhanced by social media especially Instagram today, it was 1997 when Naomi Wolf who wrote the beauty myth said that young girls are being exposed to a lot of sexualization, to a lot of sexualized images and kind of feeling forced to be promiscuous early, they are growing up very precocious and imagine how much more pronounced this is now, how much more pressure people feel because of the social media and the Instagram effect, so much so that when the whole BBL trend happened, quite a lot of women from the US started traveling to Mexico to get it done for cheap and there were a lot of botched surgeries and people actually died in trying to get a big butt, and you know if you extrapolate all of this to India right, because of course you know we are a low-income country comparatively and not everyone has access to these resources but now you do see a lot of aestheticians and aesthetic clinics popping up and there's like so much you know treatment, obsessed with fairness, yeah there's so much treatment, so what's the drug that people use to lighten their skin, deodorant, yeah that and there's like so much, you do so and so chemical peels and everything to make your skin look glassy and hair removal, and furthermore for you know brides to be, so yeah I mean talking about this scenario in India right, over here I think what's mostly, I think what's done a lot is of course skin lightening treatments, glassy skin treatments, hair removal is such a big thing in India, I don't think it's such a big thing in the US, because I mean we have darker hair right, so it's more pronounced, and I think people to just feel like it's their birthright to comment on people's body hair and their facial hair and everything, I have gotten commented on in college, you need to get your upper lip, upper lip, what moustache, remove that, even in college I was getting this comment since I was 12, since I hit puberty, as if like at the age of 12 years old I should be worrying about my facial hair instead of like being in a box or playing around or doing some sort of you know what things 12 years old do and not like care about how they look and how they're like facial hair is growing and everything right, so basically what happens Sanjana is that like we've discussed in earlier episodes, young girls and women are made to feel so conscious by the societal standards which can come from comments, from media, people they see around themselves, that they start to believe, genuinely believe that if they do all these things, including makeup and going for these procedures, they are doing it for themselves, to feel confident, it's called self-care now, it's called self-care yeah, yeah, it's called
