as a barzilian woman this article sounds very ridiculous. Do you really think we should praise this sexist bullshit? do you really think we love to be sexual objects?? The fact that you are alsoa woman and see evrything liek “wonderfull” just cause harm to us. You know nothing aboiut my country,you have no critical thinking,you think we are all a bunch of sexual stereotypes.

As a Brazilian, I second Keri’s comment. Women see what they see on Instagram and try to be something they are not. Beauty is very relative and the amount of artificial interventions does not make any good for the minds of both women and men. And the media and the industry knows very much how to take advantage of that.

The government intentionally promoted the female body as a symbol of Brazil, as it was forbidden to criticize the government. TV in the 70s and 80s showed violence and female nudity galore. I find it alarming that little Brazilian girls are trained to consider their appearance as by far the most important thing about themselves. Before the military takeover of the government, Brazil was not like this at all and it’s a sad remnant of the government using the distractions of sports, carnival and lust as red flags to distract from the extreme corruption there.

I appreciate you sharing all this info on beauty culture in Brazil, very interesting & informative. Ultimately it made me very sad & a bit angry, women are so much more than their looks & bodies & shouldn’t have to spend all this time, money, and mental, emotional & physical energy performing beauty. And literally having surgeries to physically alter their bodies to conform to beauty standards. Even everyday procedures have many risks & side effects.

In reply to Jen. Hey Jen! I'm sure there are folk that go overboard in Brazil, but the same can be said about any country (regardless of whether plastic surgery is taboo or no). I think it really depends on the individual. Thanks so much for reading!

Hi!
This stands out as one of the most interesting articles I’ve read. (I actually commented on IG a bit ago, but came back to your site.) I had heard about the Brazilian beauty culture, but I did not realize it was that intense. I am kind of wondering, is there a limit or a point where they say, “Ok, that’s enough?” I’ve seen these people who almost look plastic because they’ve done so many surgeries, and, so, I am also curious if there are people who just become addicted to it? I think I’m coming from a perspective of taboo, but it’s interesting to see the other side. I’d be curious to know what other cultures have similar cultures.
