Doctor reacts to The Kardashians without surgery and says don't judge yourself on this artificial standard

A US based dermatologist has reacted to a Tik Tok video showing The Kardashians before they underwent surgical procedures.

Dr Dustin Portela, a well known dermatologist, regularly uploads content on dermatology, makeovers, and reacts to videos.

In the Tik Tok clip created by Miami Digital Artist Mitchell Wiggs, he edited the photo of several of The Kardashian’s faces, by pasting in their faces before plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures.

Kourtney, Kendall, Khloe, Kylie, Kris, and Kim Kardashian look drastically different.

The video clip is captioned: “Giving the Kardashians their old faces back.”

In his response to the shocking video, Dr. Potela says: “This is fascinating, because we’re looking at combined ‘millions of dollars’ of plastic surgery, botox, and fillers here.

“I don’t care if someone wants to have work done, or they don’t want to have work done, that’s immaterial here, they have the means to do it, if it makes them happy, great.

Potela adds: “Don’t judge yourself based on this kind of standard, it’s not a real standard, this is all artificially made, this is done in the hands of plastic surgeons and dermatologists.”

The doctor’s response has gone viral and amassed over a 1.2 million views.

Several TikTok users took to the comment section to air their thoughts on the viral clip.

One said: “The biggest problem is how they pretend they’ve done nothing and then press their beauty standards on the world."

A second reads: “Omg, thank you so much for this, young people think that is natural.”

While a third said: “Thank you this needs to be seen by millions of people, particularly young people.”

For as long as they have been famous, The Kardashian-Jenners have come under scrutiny regularly for promoting the unrealistic image and beauty standards they portray to millions of impressionable young women and men.

From time to time, the family’s Instagram posts have been exposed for being heavily edited, with followers able to identify the editing themselves.

Kim Kardashian recently came under fire for sharing her body fat percentage in a post, and was met with backlash for continuing to promote unattainable beauty standards.

Kim Kardashian sparked backlash on social media after the reality star claimed that her beauty standards are ‘attainable’.

The Skims founder, who recently admitted having a ‘little bit of Botox’ between her brows, made the controversial remarks as she denied promoting unrealistic beauty and body standards.

In her interview with Allure Magazine, Kim said: "It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments."

"If I’m doing it, it’s attainable," the billionaire reality TV star hit back with before going on to discuss the "many different beauty standards" she believes exist.

In response to the interview, many readers were dissatisfied with her comments and aired their thoughts.

One said: "By beauty standards you meant excessive plastic surgery.”
