Blackmirror episode: everyone has a brain implant which among other things makes anyone you look at, including yourself look ridiculously attractive, unless by law the implant is removed when you are convicted of a felony. The protagonist gets convicted only to find out he/she is really fat and ugly, only to find true beauty in another far and ugly person.

There's a great short story by Ted Chiang that explores a similar idea: https://waldyrious.neocities.org/ted_chiang/liking-what-you-.... It's interesting to think about how much attractiveness plays into the way the world works.

How about:
After a landmark constitutional amendment guaranteeing absolute equity under the law, the government mandates the implantation of “equalizers” in all citizens at birth.
These brain implants suppress intelligence to a standardized mean and distort visual perception, rendering all faces equally devoid of distinguishing beauty.
