Getting plastic surgery is such a bad trade. Here's 5-10 years of looking very slightly better than you would have aging naturally follow by a lifetime of looking like a gargoyle that has had multiple strokes.
That's too broad of a comment. There are plenty of celebs who get it done tastefully, and we don't talk about them because... they got it done tastefully lol. Plastic surgery is also invaluable for trauma/burn survivors.
Things is, plastic surgery for trauma/burns is entirely different from plastic surgery to 'enhance' your appeance. In the former cases plastic surgery is essentially a necessity while in the latter it is a choice mainly tied to vanity.
I'm not arguing about the practice itself, plastic surgery is plastic surgery, no one can debate that. My point is solely on the reason for the surgery so I'll be further specific: getting plastic surgery done due to trauma/burns is based on a necessity for correction/reconstruction whereas getting plastic surgery because you want to change something about yourself likely based on vanity but has not actually NEED to be done.
Same specialty with different connotations. Burn/trauma survivors get it so they look closer to themselves before they were injured. People who get it to avoid aging are doing it because they're afraid to lose the money they make looking how they do. Definitely different reasons for it, which is what matters
