The reason I am asking is because I saw a lot of women who look great after surgeries and I see nothing wrong with them, but when I browse Reddit I see people hating on them so hard, why?
They hate 'em cause they ain’t 'em. Most cosmetic surgery looks good, and you just don’t notice it. And then these people get treated nicer and go farther in life, because good looking people garner more support and sympathy than less good looking people.
I don’t hate the people who got cosmetic surgeries done on themselves, but I hate the culture that made them feel like they needed them. I also think it often just doesn’t look good.
Because it perpetuates the myth that you’re somehow a bad person if you show signs of aging.
…there is a myth like that?
Women and men are not supposed to hold the secret to beauty for infinite amount of years, for actors and actresses who are dependent on their looks, they would always have the choice to stop being dependent on their looks or improve their looks.
The choice is not related to any sort of culture, but the consumption choices of consumers.
If a person liked the look of another person in their 20s, they don’t need to like their looks forever in their 40s and 50s.
This feels like not really the reason.
Tell me, why is this “improving” their looks? You’ve just proven my point.
I think it might be similar to CGI in movies: you do not notice those good ones, they blend in and look natural. But you DO notice those that went wrong or way too far.
Yep. The “Uncanny Valley” is deep, and it is not limited to robots and mannequins.
It’s self mutilation in response to a mental illness cause by societal pressures and misogyny. Chopping up your face to appear younger, should not be something anyone feels the need to do.
Not all cosmetic surgery is this. Helping burn victims or people who have suffered injuries, nothing wrong with any of that. There’s lots of legitimate reasons for cosmetic surgery to exist. But so much of it is the symptom of a broken society.
I will tell you from personal experience it sure makes you feel a certain way when your insurance denies a treatment for a life-threatening condition and that same system says that unnecessary treatments are a fine use of resources.
Cosmetic or elective procedures aren’t covered by insurance though. If you mean resources like doctors, I agree somewhat, but insurance denying/underpaying/jamming access to essential procedures to force profit is a separate issue, and a much bigger one.
Some cosmetic procedures are covered. Eg, reconstructive surgery after a car crash.
have you tried being richer? i hear that drastically changes how your insurance feels about your operations.
gee I don’t know, maybe it’s because these poster children are bonkers?
Because your face says a lot about you. By modifying it, you’re lying.
Not my conviction, but that’s the subconscious reasoning.Probably because they look terrible.
It often makes people look terrible
Yup. Lip injections? Quack quack.
Can’t say I’m proud of my reaction, but it is what it is.
- It makes the person look uncanny, which is naturally unsettling
- I can’t empathize with the decision to surgically change your body for whatever reason. So we’re less likely to relate to each other.
It’s also really not that high on the scale of seriousness. It’s like the same weight as if I saw you wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey or something.

Excess vanity is not a good look.
I see a difference between e.g. restorative cosmetic surgery, e.g. after an accident on one hand, and creating cow tits and Mar-a-Lago lips on the other.
Vast majority is unnecessary and winds up looking worse.
i wonder if there are more “good” ones that simply go unnoticed
Oh, for sure.
Then does that change your first reply…?
Is your answer based on any real data at all or just feels?
Nope. Not one bit

Citation needed.
Laura Loomer. Jere Burns. Stallone. Priscilla Presley. Seen Carrot Top lately. Maybe Lil Kim. How about Burt Reynolds. The entire Jenner family. List goes on and on. I have no idea what citation you want besides my own eyes. And please note I’m talking about plastic surgery. Not reconstructive.
I will counter with Martha Stewart, Helena Bonham Carter, Courtney Cox, and I’m sure so many more who really look like they have had face/neck lifts but just look good.
Do they hate it? I mean, not liking something does not mean hating that something (I don’t like bananas, I’m fine with people eating them and have never campaigned to ban bananas from our tables, not even from mine ;).
And if they do hate it, why would that be an issue? Why does it matter?

I find most ‘cosmetic’ plastic surgery… rather not cosmetic at all, to be 100% honest and I often find the end result a lot less pleasing than the original version was, but people are free to do what they like with their own body whether I like or not—exactly like I’m free to not like it, and say it.
