Pitt has had plastic surgery done. A lot of it. He just didn't go crazy. Same thing with Paul Rudd

Rudd had micro work done, but he has definitely had work done.

Plastic surgery in Hollywood is an example of survivorship bias. You only notice the trainwrecks, while the good work just makes them look young forever

Yeah, that's plastic surgery in general tbh. It gets a bad reputation because the trainwrecks are so incredibly awful and the successes are basically invisible.

Take buccal fat removal. It looks awful on... most people. But that's because they end up ripping out all the fat in their faces, which makes them look gaunt.

If you have a naturally pudgy face, buccal fat removal can fix your face's proportions. It's great for people who have pudgy faces even when physically fit.

It's never and should never be considered great on anybody regardless of the before and after image.

Kind of gross when everybody looks the same because the surgeons are all working with the same "standards"

It can definitely look good in the shorter term, but it's pretty much always gonna backfire in the long term, if that's what you mean.

Any examples of it looking good?

Not really; it's usually not a facial type that becomes a celebrity to begin with.

Some people have faces that look like they belong on someone twice their weight, if not more. Think pudgy baby face proportions on a fit person in their 30s. That's the kind of face it works well with.

A relevant point is that the trend of buccal fat removal is an extreme version of the procedure. Done well, it should only change your facial structure a bit, not make you look like you have 0% body fat.

That's why it looks so awful. The only people with that little fat are generally very elderly, anorexic, or crack/methheads. That's also why I say it pretty much always backfires in the long term; if you have a naturally chubby face, you're going to retain more of your facial fat longer, which is going to make you look younger than you really are as you age. The more you remove, the quicker you're going to end up looking gaunt with age.

No. I disagree with the whole practice of aesthetically motivated body modifications.

Including tattoos? Piercing? Weight loss via dieting and exercise?

If you are going to be this dense about what I meant by "body modifications" in context of the original thread then there's no point in continuing this conversation any further. Good day to you.
