She was so pretty

Really @XenoBitch? Of course her face would scare little kids. That's not horrible. That's being realistic.

Sorry but some things just shouldn't be allowed. This being one.

I agree, if only because what she's done is so extreme and irreversible. She's already done some highly dangerous stuff to herself. If she decides on a different look a few years down the line and wants it all reversed... well, she can't. And although I don't know what the ins and outs of that scenario would be, I can't help thinking of the celebs who've died trying to put botched plastic surgery right. I can't see that she could safely reverse any of this if she suddenly decided she hated it. And where will that leave her in terms of her mental health, let alone the damage she's already done to her body?

I think people who have extensive lip and cheek fillers look ridiculous. Combine that with Turkey teeth, and they look scary as hell.

Oh, come on. As a pp said, you can't possibly be saying Turkey teeth and fillers look as scary as this woman.

Depends what you see as scary. I was in the Goth scene for years. I would not see this lady as scary at all.

She had her nose removed. No one died from that, or having it reversed. People have their nose reconstructed all the time. If the time comes that she has to do that, she can. She wont be at risk of death due to it.

Self harm.

Probably from trauma.

Maybe not putting it out there for judgement would be nice.

Agree

I’m sorry if I offend anyone but this is absolute madness .I have posted on this but the comments where peaple think this is ok !!!! Sorry it’s not ok and it’s not attractive or her eyes look beautiful it’s bloody wrong . Would we let anyone of our family members mutilate and put their health at severe risk no matter what their mental health is !!! I think the answer would be a firm no . I’m not body shaming anyone but this is not nice at all .

Rainbow1235 · 26/02/2025 00:32

And having her nose removed is a bit different from reconstruction.

All surgery carries a risk, let's not pretend it doesn't.

Rainbow1235 · 26/02/2025 00:36

Thankfully it does not affect me at all but I am allowed a say .

Well, yes. But people have their nose done because they don't like how it looks, all the time. How is this lady different?

Rainbow1235 · 26/02/2025 00:42

Because this lady is choosing to mutialte herself she’s not doin it for health reasons she’s doin it because she wants attention. Why on hells earth would u choose to have your nose amputated!!!!!

She isn't, I was simply responding to your statement that she wouldn't be at risk of death if she ended up having it reconstructed. That's not a given.

Do you know her to know she is doing it for attention?

It really does depend on the people you know and hang out with. She's a very extreme example but wouldn't be seen as such on the scene, with goths or people who are alternative.
The thread had moved on a lot but actually what a pp said about face fillers, extensions, lip fillers rings true. It's just that this woman isn't doing body mods in that way and isn't acceptable and 'pretty' to their eyes, but what's the difference?

Rainbow1235 · 26/02/2025 00:50

I cannot be arsed to argue with u xenobitch . If u think this is ok then u crack on with your beliefs ! I personally think destroying your body and most importantly your health is Wrong !!!!

It is not your body and not your health

Lip fillers, botox, hair extensions, never leaving the house without makeup and a 'routine'...what is the difference?

Rainbow1235 · 26/02/2025 00:56

i now wish u good night .

Because those are seen as pretty and acceptable.
Some one who wants to look different to that must be "ill" or being "taken advantage of".

You can’t just ‘reverse’ a nose amputation. You think that cosmetic surgery is far more advanced than it is if you reckon a nose can simply be reconstructed like it never happened. It’s not like having a nose job or something. What do you think the surgeons are going to do, stitch a new nose on?

The surgery would be complicated. She would probably need some kind of forehead flap and separate cartilage graft, over multiple surgeries. People do not have these ‘all the time’. I imagine she would struggle to raise the funds.

But for now, she is happy with no nose. Who are we to tell her otherwise?

Fine, but you’ve stated, more than once I think, that she can simply ‘get it reconstructed’ in reply to posters wondering if she might regret the nose amputation at some point down the line. So I had to put you right there. If she does change her mind, there will be little recourse. Let’s hope she doesn’t.

What is the difference really? Can anyone answer that?
Extreme, she got part of her nose cut off.
Extreme, she gets a "boob job" ie, silicone or saline pumped into her breasts so they are larger.
