To think that 5 children growing up motherless because their Mum wanted cosmetic surgery is absolutely tragic *edited by MNHQ

But the men’s mental health crisis isn’t brought about by women, whereas women’s crises often are.

I struggle to have sympathy. I thought everyone know how risky treatments like this are - ESP when carried about by people who barely know right from left.

Pretty odd to relate this issue directly back to Mens' experience and then complain becasue another person makes a further comment about Mens's experience 😂

Every operation carries risk. I was so shocked when Joan Rivers died. I look at Katie Price and am baffled.

Mental health issues should be addressed.

Why is the bum enlargement so risky compared to all the other cosmetic surgeries like boob jobs, nose etc?

Do women have procedures like this for men? I thought it would be for themselves/wanting a figure like they see in magazines etc. I'm not so sure that men even like the fake look.

Because women are inundated with images of idealised beauty and men’s demands of what a ‘slim thic’ body should look like.

Knew that was coming. To highlight that this particular ‘stupid choice’ seems to be the preserve of women and provoke thought as to why that may be. Not to put men and their woes front and centre. That’s the difference.

It is a very tiny section of society who would ever consider something as absurd and risky as this.

Ultimately, you can blame societal pressures up to a point, but with schools giving strong body positive images in PSHE and mainstream media having a variety of different shapes and sizes, you have to go down a very particular social media rabbit hole to think a ludicrously misshapen arse will transform your life.

I am sure most people on this thread would never consider anything like it.

I wonder how much filler needs to be injected into a bum to make it noticeably bigger.

I think it’s some form of mental health problem and body dysmorphia rather than social pressure which drives this sort of obsession with a particular look. I don’t know a single man (and I know a lot of men) who would particularly want their partner to have a giant round bum and I don’t know a single woman (and I know a lot of women) who has one or aspires to have one. There doesn’t seem to be some big drive from either sex pressuring women to get BBLs because all the women they see have one and all the men they know desire them.

No, but I know two blokes who went climbing together in a recent storm, both of them died because they were so stupid to carry on and should have turned back, but their ego stopped them so they left a total of five children without a dad.
I also know blokes who have been stupid on the road and died.

I think some people just make bad decisions and die as a result. It's tragic but really on reflection I think "stupid decisions that leave you dead" affects men far worse than women!

A lady local to me died after stomach stapling/bypass went wrong.
She had a 3 year old and she didn't want him to be teased at school for having a fat Mum, and now he has no Mum.
This surgery is too normalised by Celebs and in the media, its proper actual surgery with all the risks etc not a quick touch up at lunchtime.

Then why did you bring men into the discussion?

I feel angry AT that woman, rather than for her. Perhaps that's wrong of me, obviously I do feel horrified for her. But when I think of her children, I feel rage at her vacuous stupidity, why was she thinking about the size of her arse when she had 5 children to raise.

which is known to be the most dangerous cosmetic surgery procedure commonly available

I think that applies to the surgical BBL where fat is removed first. I thought this woman had a ‘non invasive’ treatment where filler was injected but by someone who wasn’t actually qualified to do so.

I agree with you though its very sad people seem to put beauty above health and especially being a mother - that should have been her priority.

I'm very sorry for her daughters. Judging by her social media she was extremely obsessed with looks and cosmetic procedures (and she performed aesthetic treatments herself); I really hope her daughters haven't been too influenced by this and they get their confidence and self-worth from more than their appearance.

It's a tragic, needless waste, and I hope something is done to prevent it happening to other women.

It happens because the people doing it aren’t medically trained. They don’t recognise the symptoms of tissue necrosis, sometimes mistaking those symptoms for bruising. By the time infection from the necrosis sets in and causes sepsis, it is too late.

Sure - but this thread is about women. Men take up enough airspace elsewhere.

Think plastic surgery and Botox etc all just needs to be banned unless it medically necessary such as a fire victim etc.
It all looks very OTT and ridiculous, and the government clearly can't stop the back street butchers from killing.

That should say internalised misogyny

They must be downplaying the risk I agree.

Fifty years ago no woman thought about body modifying in this way. I think this particular op should be criminalised. Poor children.

Socialisation and internalised mirrors a real number on some women.

On the actual story. Surely injecting that much into your body should be made illegal though?

The actual implants aren't a risk, but this isn't the procedure she had.

But yes it's sad.

Its in poor taste to blame the woman who has died. No doubt she was told it was all safe etc. The poiht of having regulation is so that when we buy things/pay for services we should be able to trust they are safe.
