    Well, beauty is a social construct as well, and yet plastic surgery is a massive industry, with shifting trends as well.

    Social construct does not mean entirely abstract, but in dialectic exchange with material reality.

      This is probably one of the better points I have heard. Though the plastic surgery industry is pretty problematic on its own.
