In this week's episode we dive into the latest beauty trend to sweep TikTok: Brazilian butt lifts AKA 'BBL'. We cover what exactly is a BBL, how this procedure rose in popularity, the deadly impact it has on women around the world, and how TikTok has played a major role in glorifying it. We also share our opinions on whether or not plastic surgery of any type can be considered "feminist" when women are going under the knife in hopes of achieving the beauty standard— a standard determined by the male gaze.
