Living in a diverse, multicultural society, your idea of beauty is shaped by the variety of people around you.
In the U.S., what we find attractive has shifted over time, from the narrow ideals of the 1950s to a broader, more inclusive standard influenced by global cultures.
Dr. Steven Dayan joins Dr. Bass to talk about how beauty is defined differently across cultures, and why today’s aesthetic providers need to understand those differences to deliver truly personalized care.
From the evolutionary roots of attraction to real-world examples of how cultural preferences impact aesthetic choices, get a fascinating look into the intersection of beauty, identity, and modern medicine.
