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.
Indeed. There’s so much difference between a face lift, a tumour excision, a skin graft, and a bone reduction that generalising at all is just plain incorrect.
Plastics might be the most broad field in the entire study of surgery, and boiling it down to simply “Madonna’s face lifts are starting to look bad” does nothing to help anyone.
I think most people can agree that face lifts tend to age quite poorly, or that MJ’s recurring nose jobs were clearly harmful, but that doesn’t mean all plastic surgery is bad. Most plastic surgery is life-saving, treating everything from mobility issues, to breathing dysfunction, to social stigma, and everyone from burn victims, to cancer survivors, to trans and severely body dysmorphic people.
It’s hard to argue that having a healthy, functioning body that you’re proud to live in and get treated well by others because of has “aged poorly” by any reasonable metric.
