In 2022, women accounted for 93% of all cosmetic procedures in the UK, with a staggering 101% increase from the previous year. Globally, young adults aged 18-34 made up a significant proportion of procedures like breast augmentations (54.6%) and rhinoplasties (66.7%). And in some regions, such as South Korea, 1 in 3 young women has undergone a cosmetic procedure.
In this episode of The SHE Word’s Young Women’s Edition, host Sasha Vella sits down with three young women who have not shied away from cosmetic procedures — and together, they aim to explore the complex and often controversial rise of cosmetic procedures.
Influencer and marketing strategist Sarah Alfalah, Love Island Malta alum and social media manager Jade Schembri, and makeup artist Jade Borg open up about their personal experiences with procedures like Botox, fillers, and plastic surgery. Together, they discuss the pressures of beauty standards, the empowerment of self-enhancement, and the emotional realities behind going under the needle—or the knife.
Join the conversation as these incredible women share their stories and perspectives, shedding light on a topic that’s reshaping how young women perceive beauty and confidence.
