- huytersd 3y agoI don’t know what your angle is but if plastic surgery is done right (ie most cases) you never explicitly notice it.
- penjelly 3y agoif you had before and after photos it would certainly be noticable. Otherwise what would be the point? You cant tell me botox, lip injections or a nose job are "not explicitly noticable" when they drastically change your facial profile, especially over multiple years
- huytersd 3y agoYes, but I’m talking about in the wild which is what is relevant to this analogy.
- gfodor 3y agoSometimes when I post, I’m like Morpheus. I can only show you the door,
- huytersd 3y agoDid you forget to bring the red and blue pills?
- pigeons 3y agoI literally don't understand why people get plastic surgery because it makes people look so bad! So can you explain?
- gfodor 3y agoSelection bias.
- pigeons 3y agoPerhaps, but its very common to see the same look that I consider "bad" in young, wealthy, entertainment stars, where I would think they would have every means and incentive to get a good and subtle job done.
- Spivak 3y agoI did it, got pretty much my entire face done, skin and bone. The only part untouched was the skin above my upper lip. I went from a 4 on a good day to a 7 but probs more because I'm my own worst critic. You would never know I had anything done unless you knew from the perfectly ideal nose curve. 6 hours on the operating table, 4 days of misery, couple of metal plates, some screws, and 6 months ish of not being able to feel the top of my head which was more novel than anything else. Best money I've ever spent. A lot of the photos you see of "plastic surgery face" are before the swelling comes down and you look normal again.
- pseudo0 3y agoThere are plenty of examples of younger people with obvious bad results. The one going around on social media right now is Erin Moriarty who plays Starlight on the Amazon show The Boys. The issue is that some combination of too many procedures, poor choice of procedures, bad luck, and bad surgeons can result in an obvious uncanny valley effect. Once someone winds up in uncanny valley territory, it seems near-impossible to correct. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/erin-moriarty-plastic-surgery https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/erin-moriarty-plastic-surgery
- charrondev 3y agoPeople that get high quality facial work, especially when they are younger, and don’t have negative reactions to don’t stand out as “people that had plastic surgery”. At a certain point it catches up to you, but it’s very feasible for a 40 year old to look 30.
