the amount of women and teenagers freezing their faces, lobbing off nose cartilage and pumping fillers into their lips to the point of bursting has become normalised particularly amongst younger women. (I've observed that the pixie nose/big lip/sharp chin and jaw injections seems more common amongst white women for some reason. Butt injections and BBL surgery more common amongst black women and Brazilians.)
If you don't know what I'm talking about pls check out the subreddit "botchedsurgeries" or "Instagramreality"
Women are flying to countries for surgery on the cheap and getting seriously ill or even dying.
I can't help but feeling like all of this is "wrong" and the girls are being misinformed but then I remind myself I enjoy fake lashes, bit of makeup, false nails occasionally etc. and I don't want to tar everybody with the same brush or be insensitive or hypocritical. I know that for some surgery can be a huge confidence booster and look very natural. This doesn't concern me so much. It's the trendy barbie, pixie look with tiny noses and unnaturally hourglass figures that I find unsettling. Also noticed a trend of teens going to Turkey to have their teeth shaved down to fine points for veneers to be applied. What's going on? Surely this is madness and mass body dysmorphia.
I imagine our generation will be known as the blurred distorted face era.
