If it were truly undetectable, I don’t think they’d bother. They want to look like one of Trump’s lumpen-faced groupies or a washed up Las Vegas magician. Their Hellraisered faces are like a meat-based country club membership card.
Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once. Feel free to skip to the 4’00” mark.
That was remarkably well done how they handled that material, especially with how much of a joke American Dad makes things (which it should its a comedy cartoon but still).
I have to keep checking my weight on the scales and referring against the BMI charts because of that. I am fat right now, but looking back at pictures of myself I was very skinny for a while, but have always felt fat as fuck.
The rich ladies getting square “Chad” jaws really throw me off. I don’t understand the appeal, who wants a super wide chin?
Might be the same mindset my ex had.
“Can I wear your Axe?”
“no…why would you want to?”
“I like how it smells.”
Good plastic surgery is largely unnoticed. Bad plastic surgery is almost a style unto itself that is for some reason desired by certain groups.
Yeah, the people who want Mar a Lago face (Google it) will get that.
But if other plastic surgery is undetectable then how would you know whether anyone has had it?
Agreed. I’m not advocating for it, but subtle surgery with a reasonably skilled practitioner often flies under the radar if you didn’t know the person. The most common things like nose jobs and face lifts are almost routine at this point.
It’s not for me, but there is a confirmation bias around plastic surgery where bad results are highly visible and good results are almost invisible.
Its like when people say “I can always spot trans people”. Yeah you’ve spotted 100% of the ones you’ve spotted.
Cosmetic surgery isn’t limited to the rich. You can get cosmetic surgery after an injury (ie. Burn)
That’s called plastic surgery, rather than cosmetic. Cosmetic is specifically to improve your appearance. Plastics include a lot of reconstructive work.
Whatever they think they’re signaling, terrible plastic surgery only makes me think they’re lavishly gaudy, self-absorbed, and have a distorted view that makes them do terrible decisions for themselves.
Just put on Marti Grais masks, you freaks
They certainly do. We’re just not invited.
Not sure if they are making the right message with the plastic surgery… They think they either look beautiful now or signal they have money to do it and all us normal people do is think how fucking ugly they look now and despite all the money they look like fucking zombies. And I straight up don’t understand some.
Most obvious recent one was the actress Erin Moriarty playing Starlight in The Boys. I thought she was so freakin cute in the first seasons. I’m not even that into blondes and she was really cute. Then came Season 3 or 4 and I was horrified to see her facelift. I was like “girl, what in the hell have you done to yourself?!”. And every scene she was in all I could see were her sharp cheek bones, her weird eyes, her overblown lips. It was so bad I almost didn’t want to see her in any dialogue anymore. Is that what rich people want? To look repulsive?
You probably don’t know but Erin Moriarty has Grave’s disease.
So? The disease doesn’t make you suddenly get surgically sharp cheek bones and inflated lips. Have relative with this disease and I know it doesn’t do that.
