Something I noticed recently (prepandemic of course) after living in Silicon Valley for 20 years: the amount of plastic surgery that you see around town in Palo Alto has really gone off the charts. Both men and women. So much botox. So much nips/tucks.
It feels like Los Angeles light.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 6y agoSoftware is centered in Silicon Valley, entertainment is centered in Los Angeles, and ageism is rampant in both industries. It's not surprising that a culture of plastic surgery would emerge here compared to a place like New York, whose main industry is finance (where being perceived as older isn't nearly as much of a career headwind).
