**Tl;dr: Celebrities need to be transparent about cosmetic procedures as it sets unrealistic standards to their followers.** I think having cosmetic procedures done is fine, so long as you don't pretend that your body looks that way naturally. Celebrities or people who have a large following that are not transparent about their cosmetic procedures endorse unattainable beauty standards, most often to their young and impressionable audiences, which is wrong. Moreover, if a celebrity uses their body to promote products such as diet pills, or say that their bodies are obtained with just exercise can quite literally feed into disordered relationships with food and exercise itself, as young audiences think that if they follow these steps, then they too can have a body that only cosmetic doctors can create. Overall, celebrities need to be transparent about cosmetic surgery as it is psychologically damaging and dangerous to their audiences.

**TL;DR -- It's an invasion of privacy to force celebrities to disclose their private lives. Celebrities aren't always at fault for setting unrealistic expectations. Popular media and even the average person are just as much to blame.** It's an invasion of privacy for us to force celebrities to disclose every detail about their private lives with us. I see the point about it setting unrealistic expectations for normal people to follow, but to be fair, it's not 100% the celebrities' fault. They're *constantly* pressured into getting these cosmetic surgeries by their managers, agents, news media, magazines/tabloids, social media etc. that always criticize how they look. Not to mention, their very fans -- i.e, the average person -- are super critical of celebrities' looks to the same extent as popular media. So not only do celebrities get pressured to always look perfect, but *now* we want to blame them for our own insecurities and force them into broadcasting their private lives, too!? Celebrities are already abused enough by the public and their fans who claim to love them so much. Why do we insist on making them scapegoats for our personal problems, too? If we want celebrities to set a good example, then *we* need to stop pressuring *them* to be perfect. Because in doing so, we are, in essence, pressuring ourselves as well. It's a vicious cycle, and it needs to stop.

**Although I don’t believe they are at liberty to disclose any work they have chosen to do on their bodies, they should not lie.** - Whether one chooses to undergo cosmetic procedures is completely their choice. I don’t believe they should have to announce to anyone any work they have had done, especially considering many cosmetic procedures are down to personal insecurities. However, being a celebrity comes with it being in the public eye. As such any noticeable differences are likely to get caught up in a media story. Lying about cosmetic procedures is not the way to avoid this as all it does is set unattainable beauty standards. - We can see this with the example of Kylie Jenner. When Kylie Jenner was pictured with notably larger lips the media speculated that she had undergone lip filler. However, she continuously refuted such rumours saying it was down to make up. - 2015 then saw the craze that was the [Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge.]( https://www.businessinsider.com/kylie-jenners-lip-challenge-on-instagram-2015-4?r=US&IR=T) It would see people put things like shot glasses and cups to suction them off. Increased blood flow would then result in the lips swelling up and increase in size. With this trend came with it some [unexpected and sometimes dangerous results.]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znz7TpP3TNE) - Although she eventually revealed to getting lip fillers it didn’t prevent the countless impressionable people who went to such lengths to achieve the same look.
