In a recent TikTok video, London-based cosmetic doctor Dr. Zayn Khalid Majeed faced significant backlash for his unsolicited critique of pop star Troye Sivan's appearance. The two-minute clip, which highlighted Sivan's so-called 'problem areas,' led to emotional responses from fans and the artist himself.

After defending his actions initially, Majeed stated, I feel terrible for any distress caused to Sivan, particularly as the singer's reflection on body image struggles resonated with many.

Sivan, recognized for his 'twink' persona, candidly shared in a Substack post how Majeed's video heightened his insecurities, pushing him to consider cosmetic alterations. What good is money and modern medicine if not to fix all of these flaws that this random... plastic surgeon told me I have? Sivan wrote.

Dr. Majeed has since removed the video and reached out to Sivan, who acknowledged the doctor's apology as thoughtful. Majeed expressed earnest intentions for future content creation, wishing to shift towards encouraging body positivity and acceptance of aging. However, he also indicated that he will continue producing videos analyzing celebrity aesthetic choices, asserting the need for education on cosmetic procedures.

This incident ignites broader conversations on body image, social media, and the implications of unsolicited medical advice in the digital age, as both Sivan and Majeed strive to navigate the challenging landscape of self-image and public perception.
