Appears as though you possess breasts proportionate to your years.

From One Size Fits All to Perfection Obsession: The Unhealthy Obsession with Enlarged Boobs

"Your appearance at your current age appears rather unflattering."

Piece by Timmy J. TikTok Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Email "Perfection at any cost" has become the motto of many women in today's world, as they seek to conform to the unrealistic beauty standards pushed by media and celebrities. The obsession with enlarged boobs, bolstered by figures like Kylie Jenner, demonstrates the extent of this problem.

"It's the age-old question: Why do we measure women by their physical appearance?" asks Iris Berben in an interview with "Stern." "We're demanding a self-determined image of women," she adds, lamenting the herd mentality that punishes individuality. With the rise of social media, the quest for perfection has intensified, and women are feeling the pressure to fit into narrowly defined ideals.

Berben observes that, while some women embark on these transformations for themselves, many are still catering to male preferences. In today's world, some body parts are allowed to be larger (buttocks, breasts, lips), while others are not (belly, thighs, labia).

Performance vs. Presentation

Berben, a 74-year-old actress and many men's dream, speaks of a step backward society has taken. Today, the focus has shifted from overall growth and development to purely superficial perfection. But what does a "truly growing person" even mean in this context? Unfortunately, social media often perpetuates this pursuit of perfection, rewarding those who fit into a certain beauty ideal and marginalizing those who don't.

Insults such as "old, fat, poor" only add to the problem, reinforcing the destructive narratives that Women, particularly young women, face daily. Actresses who once proclaimed their preference for a smart head over a nice ass might be shaking their heads in disbelief at the current state of affairs.

The Business of Perfection

For those who prioritize presentation over performance, achieving perfection often means seeking cosmetic enhancements, such as breast augmentation. Influential figures like Kylie Jenner have brought attention to such procedures, normalizing the idea that larger breasts equal beauty and success. Unfortunately, this comes at a cost—literally and figuratively. Women are shelling out thousands of dollars for surgeries, undergoing risky procedures to attain the “perfect” body.

In the past year, Jenner publicized her breast augmentation journey, revealing details like the size of her implants and the Beverly Hills surgeon who performed the procedure. This celebrity endorsement has led to increased demand for similar procedures, with young women aspiring for the "Kylie Jenner look."

So, Who is Kylie Jenner?

Kylie Jenner is a 27-year-old beauty entrepreneur, sister of supermodel Kendall Jenner, half-sister of Kim Kardashian, and mother to a growing family. She is celebrated for her apparent perfection, yet she, like many young women, may not feel enough, despite her wealth, fame, and beauty.

A TikTok user once mused about how great Jenner would look with the "most perfect 'boob job' ever," prompting Jenner to respond. This candid admission from Jenny sparked controversy, as fans and critics questioned whether such openness about cosmetic procedures might set unhealthy expectations for young women who look up to Jenner as a role model.

Failure is not an Option

As Iris Berben points out, our society lacks respect for the development process and the inherent failure that comes with it. In today's climate, failure is not tolerated, especially for young women who are expected to have everything figured out from the get-go. This lack of understanding and support can lead to profound mental health issues, as individuals struggle to live up to impossible standards.

Despite these concerns, Berben remains hopeful, attributing her optimism to the new, young generation. She admires young women who are directors, actresses, and producers, shattering stereotypes and blazing new trails. Berben's words serve as a reminder that it's essential to focus on inner growth and individuality rather than superficial physical perfection.

Final Thoughts

The emphasis on physical perfection and the obsession with enlarged boobs perpetuated by celebrities like Kylie Jenner has profound societal and individual impacts. It's time for us as a society to challenge these unrealistic expectations and encourage young women to focus on their inner selves rather than conforming to a narrowly defined aesthetic ideal. Instead, let's celebrate strengths, talents, and individuality—qualities that truly make us "worth it."
