Do you think the rising popularity of buttocks enhancement is affecting young people’s mental health in India?

The rise of buttocks enhancement procedures has sparked a deeper issue—its psychological impact on India’s youth. Many young people are increasingly exposed to filtered, surgically-altered body images across platforms like Instagram and YouTube. This constant comparison can trigger low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression. While cosmetic surgery offers body confidence to many, critics argue it can also feed into insecurities and peer pressure.
 
In India, where mental health is still a developing conversation, this trend raises concerns about how beauty norms are shaping young minds. Should we be more cautious about how such procedures are advertised and discussed publicly? Or is this simply a new wave of self-expression? We want to hear from you—how do you think these beauty trends are impacting mental wellness?
