I once read an anti corporate critique of this phenomenon. The argument went something like this:

Once female beauty was commoditized, and you could literally purchase an upgrade to parts you were born with. Entire cosmetic and plastic surgery industry benefited from marketing and promoting this model of beauty. The unforeseen consequence was that men started fetishizing these upgrades themselves.

As some men hyper focus on female body parts anyway. It was a way to exploit psychological tendencies for profit.

I guess the counter remedy would be to promote female beauty as the whole, and not some collection of body parts.
