The reason I am asking is because I saw a lot of women who look great after surgeries and I see nothing wrong with them, but when I browse Reddit I see people hating on them so hard, why?
Vanity is cringe enough even without literally chopping yourself up in its pursuit.
ITT people who dont undersrand the difference between objective data sets and anecdotes.
Vast majority is unnecessary and winds up looking worse.
Citation needed.
Laura Loomer. Jere Burns. Stallone. Priscilla Presley. Seen Carrot Top lately. Maybe Lil Kim. How about Burt Reynolds. The entire Jenner family. List goes on and on. I have no idea what citation you want besides my own eyes. And please note I’m talking about plastic surgery. Not reconstructive.
i wonder if there are more “good” ones that simply go unnoticed
Oh, for sure.
Then does that change your first reply…?
Is your answer based on any real data at all or just feels?
For me, I find it sad. There is so much pressure on people (especially women) to look a certain way. I find beauty in uniqueness. When a certain “look” becomes fashionable, you see a lot of people get the same face. Then, you see people get “addicted” to the surgeries, and end up looking totally alien.
The buccal fat removal trend is going to age like milk.
I will tell you from personal experience it sure makes you feel a certain way when your insurance denies a treatment for a life-threatening condition and that same system says that unnecessary treatments are a fine use of resources.
have you tried being richer? i hear that drastically changes how your insurance feels about your operations.
Because your face says a lot about you. By modifying it, you’re lying.
Not my conviction, but that’s the subconscious reasoning.Probably a lot of noise coming from the incels.
It often makes people look terrible
Yup. Lip injections? Quack quack.
Dunno… why do people hate fake money so much?
gee I don’t know, maybe it’s because these poster children are bonkers?
It’s a very vain thing to waste your money on that most of us cannot afford.
I don’t blame people for getting it when they have exceptional flaws, but for normal people to get it is rather disgusting.
Bcus peops hate wen others do things with their own bodies , specially wen those surgeries (or any other body modification) don’t conform to societal expectations
I’m a bit split on the whole topic.
The cultural reasons for why people get it done are bullshit. Maintaining youth, eliminating every single perceived flaw, and so on. Making people believe that they are worthless without their good looks. It’s a culture that isn’t healthy for our minds or bodies.
On the other hand, some of the insults levelled at people who have had cosmetic surgery is incredibly vicious and I don’t think it’s fair. Much of it is misogynistic when directed at women, and homophobic when directed at men. I believe everyone is entitled to full autonomy to do as they wish with their own body, as long as noone else is harmed by it.
It’s self mutilation in response to a mental illness cause by societal pressures and misogyny. Chopping up your face to appear younger, should not be something anyone feels the need to do.
Not all cosmetic surgery is this. Helping burn victims or people who have suffered injuries, nothing wrong with any of that. There’s lots of legitimate reasons for cosmetic surgery to exist. But so much of it is the symptom of a broken society.
If I have a daughter I hope I can teach her to love and appreciate herself for who she is, be proud of herself and that everyone is beautiful and worthy, rather than to fit in with the stereotypical standards of beauty and if she doesn’t match that, she has to get surgery to do so.
