Fitness influencer Sia Cooper shared a series of edited photos to her 1.1 million followers.
Showing the evolution of what society deems “the perfect female body”.
She starts a century ago in the 1920s where women were expected to have more of a boyish figure with flat chests and downplayed waists .
To today, what Cooper dubs the “postmodern beauty” look.
Since the Roaring ’20s, the archetype has changed significantly.
The perfect postmodern body now requires big chests and butts for a curvy shape, a slim waist, thigh gap and a toned abdomen.
She mentions in the photo that the “perfect body” today is achieved exclusively through plastic surgery.
According to a report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation has been the most popular procedure since 2006.
From 2017 to 2018, there was also a huge surge in buttock augmentations and thigh lifts.
Three of the top five most popular surgical procedures focus on “body enhancements” .
The comments on Cooper’s post were mainly positive, with many people surprised to find out that apps existed to edit bodies so drastically
