Today’s media disseminate a narcissistic cultivation of beauty and promote a focus mainly on appearance and satisfaction from its improvement. The human body assumes a form in the media that is often impossible to achieve without surgical intervention. When people are in frequent contact with a utopian vision of the perfect body, this can lead to many disorders in both social functioning and self-perception. In extreme cases, striving to preserve beauty and youth may lead to an addiction to aesthetic medicine treatments. It is an increasingly common phenomenon. People who are addicted to treatments improving their beauty or changing their body shapes are not aware of the problem that affects them. They lose their rational judgement and their assessment is far from the opinions of people around them and socially accepted norms. All signs of concern from others are perceived as an attack on their independence and this further deepens their sense of loneliness and isolation from society. With time, undergoing further beautifying procedures becomes the only way they know to achieve a momen-tary sense of happiness.
