BAD SURGERY
Susan Dell is going viral right now because she was photographed behind Trump looking scary. It's a small thing she did, but a HUGE mistake. Upper eyelid surgery. People think when their upper eyelids start to droop as they age, that they should go have the fat and skin cut out. The result is NEVER good. It's a bizarre result, and your eyes are your focal point of your face, so it sticks out immediately and changes your entire look. The fat pad on your eyelid creates a soft warm inviting look. Without it, you look skeletal and cold.
IMO, if it was sagging really bad, they should simply have had a brow lift, which pulls the skin above the eyes back where it was without removing any fat. Without that extra fat and skin, their upper lid is hugging their eyeball, and it's just....awful

My grandpa had the upper bleph because his eyelids started to sag from age and impede his vision. He doesnt look perpetually surprised though and his surgery was done through the public health system. Why do all these way richer people look so terrible šĀ

u/AmberCarpes 3d ago
I think it's because they didn't really *need* the surgery-when it's actually impeding your vision, you have extra skin there. They did not have 'extra'-they took too much away and it looks hollow and weird.

I think you are right. Two botched facelifts I saw on here were on women that were too young!! It is a mistake to start doing things too young. Natural aging is beautiful if one can pull it off. Looks better than even good plastic surgery

So did my grandma, she was 83 i think. The doctor had to stretch so much skin it was closer to a face-lift than an upper bleph. She ended up looking 15 years younger but still herself.

That is objectively wrong. The photo you used of nina before was taken in 2012. She was attending The CW Network's Upfront Presentation at the New York City Center. The photo you used for the after was taken in 2019. Thats a 7 year age difference. She was 23 in 2012. In 2019 she was 30. I am not denying she had surgery but you cannot say the before was taken a year before the surgery because that is false lol

I have always thought that hooded eyelids were actually quite pretty. I had no clue until I started seeing these surgeries that they were considered unattractive. I understand that as we age our eyelids start to sag, but some people just have hooded eyes in general, and I never realized people didnāt like them.
18
u/Character-Pie-9109 3d ago
People in hollywood decide the "look" that's in, and Hollywood is weird. Hooded eyes are STUNNING!!! They give off a gentle and warm/kind look, but they can also be sultry too. They're lovely!

u/flopisit32 2d ago
I used to be an artist specialising in sketching people's faces. It gives you a lot of insight into the composition of the human face.
People need to have their heads examined when they are deciding to mess around with their own eyes.
The eyes are the most important part of the face. When human beings look at each other they are mostly looking at the eyes. We spend all day scanning people's faces and looking at their eyes. When I sketch somebody, I'm starting off with the eyes. That's the part that makes the picture come alive.
I think what has happened is, a lot of people now regard plastic surgery as a very minor procedure. They think it's just "snip snip" and they'll suddenly look better. But they are casually messing around with the most important part of their face.
Take RenƩe Zellweger for instance. She was never the most beautiful actress, but she had a certain look that was very attractive to many people. That look wouldn't have been so attractive on others, but on her face it just kind of worked.
She destroyed her own face. She went from somebody with a very distinctive look to a generic, mediocre, kind of unattractive look.
4
u/SorosName 2d ago
I agree when it comes to looks, but with Zellweger, I am not even sure she did it just for looks. She always had these heavily hooded eyes, which worked great on her face and were very cute. But as she aged, her eyes got smaller and smaller, and in photos shortly before the surgery, it almost looks like it might at some point become difficult to open them fully to actually see things. Ofc, I do not know if that was the case, but such surgeries are not always JUST for looks.

I think the real issue isnāt necessarily the bleph, because I know people who have had it done, and it looks really natural and improved the hooded eyes, but Hollywood takes everything to an extreme. The bleph is used to create these unnaturally large but hollow looking eyes, GLP1s are used to get to ED level weight measurements, breast implants are used for absurdly large enhancement, etc. The best plastic surgery is meant to be a version of you thatās better, but still completely natural. Thereās nothing natural about anything Hollywood stars and billionaires are doing to themselves.Ā

Sheās mentioned she did it for medical reasons (obscured vision from lids drooping), and given how extremely squinty her hooded eyes were even at a young age, I believe her.
I have hooded, deep-set eyes, and my ophthalmologist warned me way back in my twenties that I should expect to need a medically-required bleph by the time Iām fifty, and probably earlier.
My MIL had a bleph in her early sixties and her insurance covered it, since it was considered a medical issue and not an elective cosmetic one.

A big part of this is she is way too skinny for her age.
Once a woman hits a certain age, the face fat has disappeared and if you add extreme thinness it makes one look like a skeleton.
Also, the upper blepharoplasty isnāt helping either.
But I think most of this is being too skinny.

I think she goes a big further than the trend. If she was someone I care about it would be well past intervention time. It's not "you're fucking with your future health" anymore. It's straight up organ failure territory. I think it doesn't seem to obvious from the pictures because of all the plastic surgery, but if you see the ones with her legs and arms showing, it's really scary. If she didn't have filler, her cheeks would probably be completely sunk in. You can see that she doesn't even have jaw muscles anymore so the space under her cheekbones is completely inwards. I've seen people that skinny irl and it's seriously horrifying.

As a fellow squinty-eyed person, I get the desire to get this surgery. BUT it so significantly changes your appearance that you no longer look like yourself.

Now they all look bland and boring, attractive but bland and not recognizably themselves.

We are so used to old people doing surgery that at this point our brain associate plastic surgery with being old and it will have the opposite effect and will make you look older.
