Most cosmetic surgery isn't permanent.

These big changes often are, though. You may regret it and get it removed, but you’re going to age far worse in any case.

There’s a whole movement right now of these people getting their surgery reversed, but in many cases the long-term damage has been done and you will age worse than if you hadn’t done it. You have scar tissue that will age differently, no matter how minor and no matter what you do.

It’s really sad, because these people are making themselves look worse now and they’ll also age worse, and they’ll likely hate that, then spend thousands more in that cycle, like you said.

    As in, the desired results arent permanent. I'll edit to rephrase.

    Yet the big changes typically aren't the cosmetic surgery, they're the damage. Either literally, or an attempt to treat it.

    They might remove some cheek fat, but even that is them trying to catch up: because degraded filler makes their face look puffy and their lips ill-defined.

    The filler is spread put around their cells regardless. It is impossible to remove. As is any muscular damage from long-term paralysis.

    And yes, agreed. Reconstructive plastic surgery has lower risk, but when it comes to soft tissue cosmetic surgery, the only winning move is not to play.

    I wish there were laws against this quackery, because it’s literally unscrupulous ‘doctors’ taking advantage of women who have been conditioned to believe they’re inferior, and especially by these doctors.

    ‘You could be pretty if’ [you lifted your cheeks, sculpted your nose, etc]. You’re like 90% there! [Draws lines on face in sharpie, so they’ll be there for 2 days, reminding you of everything he said was wrong every time you look in a mirror]. Just this quick thing and you’ll be perfect!

    It’s abominable and should mean revocation of their licence to practice.

    Gender affirming surgery laws?

    You’re clearly not serious.

    No. Quite obviously, because even you can see how intent, plus many more indicators, matters.

    It’s already part of gender affirming surgery. Informed consent is all up and down those procedures, to the point they’re really hard to get. You have to prove to multiple doctors you’re of sound mind, you’re totally informed of the risks, and you won’t regret your decision.

    But ruining your face only takes 20,000 and a walk-in appointment. Hell, go to the right parties, and they’ll come to you.

    i feel like the movement is very niche and limited to rich people

  • I've known a number of people at the bottom end of the economic spectrum who have gone in for shit like this. This is what they save up for and spend their money on, at the expense of having a house and a viable retirement and taking care of their children etc. etc.
