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?
They hate 'em cause they ain’t 'em. Most cosmetic surgery looks good, and you just don’t notice it. And then these people get treated nicer and go farther in life, because good looking people garner more support and sympathy than less good looking people.
I don’t hate the people who got cosmetic surgeries done on themselves, but I hate the culture that made them feel like they needed them. I also think it often just doesn’t look good.
Because it perpetuates the myth that you’re somehow a bad person if you show signs of aging.
…there is a myth like that?
Women and men are not supposed to hold the secret to beauty for infinite amount of years, for actors and actresses who are dependent on their looks, they would always have the choice to stop being dependent on their looks or improve their looks.
The choice is not related to any sort of culture, but the consumption choices of consumers.
If a person liked the look of another person in their 20s, they don’t need to like their looks forever in their 40s and 50s.
This feels like not really the reason.
Tell me, why is this “improving” their looks? You’ve just proven my point.
I think it might be similar to CGI in movies: you do not notice those good ones, they blend in and look natural. But you DO notice those that went wrong or way too far.
Yep. The “Uncanny Valley” is deep, and it is not limited to robots and mannequins.
Probably because they look terrible.
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.
Can’t say I’m proud of my reaction, but it is what it is.
- It makes the person look uncanny, which is naturally unsettling
- I can’t empathize with the decision to surgically change your body for whatever reason. So we’re less likely to relate to each other.
It’s also really not that high on the scale of seriousness. It’s like the same weight as if I saw you wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey or something.

Excess vanity is not a good look.
Do they hate it? I mean, not liking something does not mean hating that something (I don’t like bananas, I’m fine with people eating them and have never campaigned to ban bananas from our tables, not even from mine ;).
And if they do hate it, why would that be an issue? Why does it matter?

I find most ‘cosmetic’ plastic surgery… rather not cosmetic at all, to be 100% honest and I often find the end result a lot less pleasing than the original version was, but people are free to do what they like with their own body whether I like or not—exactly like I’m free to not like it, and say it.
I see a difference between e.g. restorative cosmetic surgery, e.g. after an accident on one hand, and creating cow tits and Mar-a-Lago lips on the other.
gee I don’t know, maybe it’s because these poster children are bonkers?
1000% preference. Like fake tans, comestic surgery items like “Bolted on tits”, lip fillers, and fake muscles look weird and unnatural. To me it looks like a slightly deformed human and instinct says stay away from that. However, I have cowokers who love that stuff. If there is a time in future where it looks more natural id probably more for it.
you don’t notice it if it looks natural
That’s an argument many pro cosmetic surgery folks say. Just like I prefer a good burger versus a bad one, if you could guarantee the same standard on every human then its just a money thing. I did quite a bit of research 10 years ago and it seemed it wasn’t worth it when I spoke to professionals then. Im certain it will improve as time goes on. But at my age going to be like putting new lights in a haunted mansion 😅
Unless what you are saying is some people want to others to notice like the human Ken doll. After watching him talk in a documentary that guy screams “I needs therapy”. He literally said he wouldnt do this if everyone did it. It’s not healthy to mutilate yourself for attention mate.
Agreed. I touched a pair of tits once that had implants, but you couldn’t tell just by looking.
Well, yea, and so much of it looks unnatural
How would you know if you can’t discern the cases that look natural?
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.
Cosmetic or elective procedures aren’t covered by insurance though. If you mean resources like doctors, I agree somewhat, but insurance denying/underpaying/jamming access to essential procedures to force profit is a separate issue, and a much bigger one.
Some cosmetic procedures are covered. Eg, reconstructive surgery after a car crash.
have you tried being richer? i hear that drastically changes how your insurance feels about your operations.
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.
On Lemmy and Reddit? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago_face
“Excessive” obvious cosmetic surgery became a status symbol, and then it got politicized.
