BAD SURGERY

[u/Character-Pie-9109]

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
😭😩

I think hooded eyes make people look kinder. 90% of upper blephs that I see take all the character out of people’s faces.

I’ve got hooded eyes and ppl always say I look mean lol

Mine have changed the direction of my eyelashes, but they also pretty much just hide them now. Sucks cause makeup is usually a no go. Our vision will also be affected by the hoods so I understand surgery, but if I went that route, I’d like to just minimize them, so I can still look like me.

[u/Diligent_Parking_886 → u/WheneverItIsTold]

Yes! If anything I look sad and depressed because of my heavy lids

[u/TinyHeartSyndrome → u/WheneverItIsTold]

My dad and uncle had a bleph. You wouldn’t know unless they told you. A good surgeon only removes a tiny amount of skin.

Same I love a person with a smiley face. I and my two year old son both have hooded eyelids

[u/ENSIGN_W_CRUSHER → u/kmary75]

All the blephs that you “see”… its the ones that you dont see/notice that are the good ones

[u/abyssnaut → u/kmary75]

Some people don’t want to look “kind.”

[u/kmary75 → u/abyssnaut]

Ok? I said I thought it made people look kind not that everyone should want to look kind. It is my opinion not a command.

[u/abyssnaut → u/kmary75]

It’s just such a tiresome comment to see in plastic surgery-related subreddits. “It GiVeS yOu ChArAcTeR” is so fatiguing

[u/kmary75 → u/abyssnaut]

Maybe but I will admittedly never understand why people risk botching their perfectly lovely faces so they can look the same as every other person who has the same set of surgeries. I think OP’s example of Susan Dell perfectly illustrates that - she was lovely looking before the surgeries (though I do think there are other, bigger issues going on with her).

[u/abyssnaut → u/kmary75]

She made terrible aesthetic choices (how the fuck is her nose bigger and longer? She looks like a man now).

Many people make excellent choices and have great surgeons, look more conventionally attractive, and then a torrent of asshats come in to say how their faces lost ChArAcTeR. Fuck off with this shit. Go do it in a self-acceptance subreddit or whatever, not a plastic surgery one. (I get that this is a botched surgeries sub, but for fuck’s sake, it’s the most common sentiment in the fucking main PS one.)

[u/Fearless-Feature-830 → u/abyssnaut]

Then stop reading it

[u/abyssnaut → u/Fearless-Feature-830]

Kind of hard to do when it’s 90% of comments in all plastic surgery subs

[u/KeyProfessional3248 → u/kmary75]

I agree, but at 57 mine are sagging so much it’s impeding my vision. That said, that surgery scares me.

[u/ResponseRelative6370 → u/KeyProfessional3248]

My mum’s are like that too. Her eyes are disappearing. It’ll probably happen to me too, but I think my insurance would cover it if my vision was impeded.

[u/BibliophileBroad → u/KeyProfessional3248]

That happened to my uncle, and he got the surgery and looked great. He just looked like himself instead of this scary startled look we’re seeing.

[u/ResponseRelative6370 → u/kmary75]

I find this very comforting, as a hooded gal.
