The plastic surgery business is booming. But with buccal fat removal, BBLs, veneers and Ozempic all clogging up tiktok feeds, people are finding it hard to keep up with the latest trends – and the result is more people than ever making body modifications that they regret but that are impossible to reverse. Here’s our take on plastic surgery regrets, the pressure to permanently modify in chasing fleeting trends, and whether you can create a culture that allows people the freedom to choose what they do with their body, without making them anxious about the body they’ve been born with.

Lord, back to eating cotton balls again? Or has it been updated to the lazy version like surgery
I can understand weight loss, skin care, tanning, breast implants and butt implants, but we need to leave our faces alone before we look like 🤡.
Because…. white straight men
Why are you showing a clip of lipoedema??? Thats an inflammatory disease/condition, so the WAL intervention patients get to reduce the pain is out of health reasons and not aesthetics 😑🤦🏻♀️
I feel another problem with this is often overlooked: I see so many young women spending their hard earned money on aesthetic procedures and not saving/ investing it to become financally stable
or independent. As we are already all living from paycheck to paycheck it concerns me that PS could be a reason why women could become dependend of men and their romantic relationships, because we are so pressured into spending so much of our money on our aesthetics.
The thing is if someone wants plastic surgery to feel better about themselves it’s fine and also their right if there’s that thing that made them insecure or not quite right. Its been happening forever. The problem is that now not only younger people than ever do these procedures when they don’t always need them but the fact that today its a trend to do you minor things like it was just shopping for clothes yet not understanding the why and how that affects you internally. When cosmetic procedures become trends thats when you know we’ve reach a weird place as a society. Social media self image dysmorphia is really getting out of control. We all want to change a little thing here and there and that’s normal but when people who are not fully mentally aware of why they do it and can’t stop doing its dangerous. Now you have ads for this like we’ve never seen before. I’ve been wanting to get breast reduction which is pretty much the only ive ever wanted to do on myself and even that is considered medical because of the toll bigger breast can have on your back posture health etc and is not considered purely esthetic. Ive played sports and stuff in school and even back then in my late teens i wanted to do it and now starting my 30s I finally decided to see doctors to do it as they are even bigger and more inconvenient in many ways. I was always conscious of the benefits of doing that because it meant not struggling to find nice bras that fit me, my back hurting from running or playing tennis and working out etc, not having to buy some tops one size bigger than my regular size to avoid the cleavage that was not intended etc. all that to say that i still was happy with my body. When it becomes a thing you just obsess over to look a way to be a way or a trend thats what i have a problem with because today especially because of the influence social media image has on people they go above and beyond to get things done just to appear a way pr get more following etc not really thinking of what the repercussions of extreme surgery could have on them in the future when they no longer feel that way….
even when people do get surgery, they still most likely won't look like the celebs, because celebs can afford the best doctors in the industry.
And btw, people who want to look like Bella Hadid don't know she actually copied Carla Bruni's face. She didn't just have a "nose insecurity", the woman had a buccal fat removal this year along with dozens of other surgeries in the past, this story that she wants to have her ancestral nose (no such thing, any ethnicity can have any shape nose) is just a call for attention.
I get it that some people want to have a certain plastic surgery when they have a specific insecurity, it is an individual's choice, but don't do it just because of TikTok or models. Figure out by yourself if YOU want it because of you, not because of society and beauty standards.
Trends change every 2 months, your face is not a trend! Get therapy if you need it, but don't slice yourself up every couple of months.
Chrissy teigen face was very plum. Her surgery suit unlike other celebrities with slim faces to begin with.
What always gets me is all these people have 0 issues with people getting these pointless surgeries that they actually don't need and are just getting due to societal pressure and trendy fads to look like celebs but then in the same breath block essential healthcare for trans people like puberty blockers, HRT and essential surgeries and like those things will actually improve and help trans people to live a normal life and have a higher quality of life. People don't need a BBL or buccal fat removal or lip filler. There people who DO need top surgery, HRT, bottom surgeries. I just hate the double standard.
I think it would be interesting if you did a take on selena gomez's pr team and how she's managed to make her brand "kindness" while igniting bullying of other women. her recent statement to "stop the bullying" of hailey bieber was such a GENIUS pr move in terms of timing and wording, absolving Selena of the mass bullying of hailey she's ignited while also timing it to send out just as the drama's starting to die down. I think it would be really interesting to do a full video just about the way Selena gomez has been able to keep her brand so clean over the years, despite being one of the more "messy" celebrities in terms of her use of social media
if someone is getting plastic surgery because of a trend, then they deserve all the complications they get
TikTok freaks me out. It's all about fads on steroids. Bad enough for finance and the environment when it's clothes, absolutely nuts when it comes to your body.
Plastic surgery is not empowering and happens within the sphere of society. We would not get surgery if we did not dislike our bodies
People are going to give you 💩 no matter what you look like because people are just hateful. If you don't get surgery, you're ugly. If you get surgery, you're fake. At the same time, if you love yourself it doesn't matter what you look like, someone will find you beautiful for it.
Transgerderism has exacerbated this issue.
Why would we see plastic surgery as an important way to combat body dismórfica instead of just encouraging people to accept their reality?
The "I do it for myself" thing is a myth in my opinion. You might do it because you'll feel better after but ask yourself why that is… Without beauty standards and the pressure to look certain way, you wouldn't feel that way
I was about to write cosmetic surgery should be illegal if it's not after a big accident or something, but people would find an even more dangerous way around it. But honestly something big has to change like first of all banning its' advertisement
Except Jlo's a** is natural
Let's not use transgender people in these examples that's transphobic even unintentionally
When one has nothing better than appearance to showcase, can anyone blame them for wanting to better themselves in the only way they can and/or know of? Still better than forcing people to accept obesity is healthy.
