The cosmetic surgeon apologised for publicising Troye Sivan’s appearance on TikTok.
.”
The doctor admits he can “see how it happened”.
Majid says he started creating content to “educate and inform” people but started talking about celebrities because audiences were enjoying it.
“I create five talking educational videos for each celebrity video,” he says.
But, reflecting on the situation with Sivan, he says he doesn’t want to contribute to the “negative beauty standards” people face.
“I need to use my voice to shift the conversation towards a more positive body image and acceptance of ageing as a natural process,” he asserts. “Sometimes you don’t realise the impact you can have.”
However, Majid says he will continue to make videos that analyse celebrity faces because he believes there is an appetite for them.
“It is important to demystify surgeries performed by celebrities and educate patients,” he says.
‘It’s mind-boggling.’
Samantha RizzoNew York-based “skin-positivity” content creator Samantha Rizzo says she can see the benefit in posts that try to “show off” cosmetic work or provide more information.
She told Newsbeat, “I would appreciate it if you used your clients and they consented to before, during, and after photos.” “I feel a little weird when they’re just taking pictures of celebrities.
“Just because they’re famous doesn’t mean you have the right to tear them apart.”
Rizzo, 26, had Botox injected into her jaw after watching a video online, hoping it would relieve pain and migraines. But this restricted her face’s movement, and she says she regrets doing so.
Ultimately, she believes that the content she was “consuming” shaped her insecurities.
“The things you see can distort your perception of yourself so much that it forces you to make that decision,” she says. “It’s mind-boggling.”
keelin moncriefIrish-born social media personality Keelin Moncrieff says she is concerned about the availability of information on various procedures and its impact on young people.
The mother of one told Newsbeat that she understands some creators may try to be “transparent” about any work they do but argues that this risks acting as an endorsement of the treatment.
She says people cannot compensate for what they do not see behind the scenes. “People think it’s an easy process.”
Moncrieff, 28, also says that being online brings unwanted comments about your appearance – something she has experienced.
“I remember once I got a comment that my hands were really wrinkled,” she recalls. “It’s something that never occurred to me.”
However, she has already made a decision regarding the surgical makeover.
“Often I look in the mirror and think, ‘Oh, I can do this, I can do this,'” she says.
“I would find that disturbing. I don’t want to maintain those standards.”
