Abstract: The rise of social media transformed body perception, especially among teenagers and young adults. He argued that constant exposure to idealised bodies on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok generated body dissatisfaction, affecting self-esteem and favouring the development of eating disorders. He pointed out that concepts such as body image distortion and the ‘fitspiration’ trend intensified these problems. He also indicated that many users opted for aesthetic procedures in response to these beauty standards. However, he mentioned that movements such as body positivity emerged, promoting acceptance and emotional well-being in the face of aesthetic pressure.
