Do you feel like there is more pressure on Gen Z to get Botox/plastic surgery?

My SIL is 23 and gets Botox on her lips, cheek fillers and just flew to Turkey to do her nose… she’s absolutely stunning normally. Now she wants a bbl… I always felt like cosmetic surgery/botox is more for ageing or restoring your body etc…
