It's like an entry rule for MAGAt women:

  1. Fuck up your face.
  2. See #1.

I think that's kind of their point. It's done so well so often, why do these people always get the ugly stick version? They can't all be using the same (bad) surgeon.

I think it's just taking it too far.

That, and chasing a certain 'aesthetic' the ultra wealthy like I guess (giant lips in particular).

giant lips in particular

This is what I don't understand about it. There's a good way to do that. DSL are a thing, but these examples are just bad plastic surgery.

I think it's a style, uh, very rich people like? Go look up Lauren Sanchez (Jeff Bezos's new wife), or the top luxury influencers on Instagram.

That’s the thing – this ‘aesthetic’ they’re chasing is the ugly stick version, and I strongly feel it’s because nobody in their bubble are willing to tell them they look like fucking homunculi. They pay people to tell them they’re gorgeous no matter what.

Actually I think there’s a lot of awareness?

I interacted with a lot of, uh, private school moms growing up, and breast implants (even when they were impractical or bad looking) were definitely a social expectation. There was some plastic surgery too. Many were aware, but it’s like a ticket for entry.

These people are way above that level (including Laura Loomer who is a mega rich celebrity), so I bet it’s just more extreme.

I was the kid of one of those moms in the late seventies. I think ‘awareness’ was very relative.

I think you’re right, anyhow.

Yes, this. I’ve seen some absolutely fantastic work, especially in rebuilding faces that have been damaged. It’s like some quacks have license to do their worst, and in an Emperor’s New Clothes situation, nobody wants to say how godawful their work is. Perhaps it’s the sunk cost fallacy, but someone does this and we’re not supposed to call it out as butchery for whatever reason, then it multiplies.

I'm not sure the doctors know. They see so much that it's beginning to look normal to them.

she looks like the saw puppet

I saw a doctor reality show for these procedures once, they didn't seem to know.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

They make stupid amounts of money you’ll never see to ‘not know’.

Do you really think they don’t know, when that’s their whole job?

No, they’re lying to you.
