Metka Kuhar
Prof. Dr. Metka Kuhar is a social psychologist at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Slovenia. She has been vocal in critiquing the societal pressures surrounding beauty standards and the increasing trend of aesthetic procedures, particularly among younger women. Kuhar emphasizes the psychological implications of these trends, arguing that they often stem from a culture of anxiety about aging and self-worth. She believes that the normalization of cosmetic enhancements contributes to a deeper societal issue where individuals feel compelled to conform to unrealistic beauty ideals, leading to detrimental effects on mental health and self-perception.
