To wonder why women do this to themselves?

Lauren Sanchez before and after. What is it with inflatable lips and sculpted cheeks and the inflated breasts? She looked like a nice, attractive woman before.

Agreed. It's actually grotesque. I get so tired of people saying 'it's their choice' and ' don't judge'. It says something very frightening about society that women want to resemble blow up dolls. It is creepy and regressive. It's funny that feminists on this site have no problem calling out the trans cult and how that is harmful to women, and call drag 'womanface' but then turn around and be all 'you do you' to women who turn themselves into creepy sex clowns.

You’re right. It’s sad how fragile the male ego is.

Men would and do get the same judgement for doing the same thing. Like that Ken doll guy and Mickey Rooney. Zac Efron got a lot of criticism for his changing appearance.

It just seems like men don't get this criticism because far less men get far less surgery because the is far less pressure placed on them to look a certain way.

Exactly this. She doesn’t run in normal circles. She’s surrounded by fake and one up man ship.

She’s got a very rich man who could drop her like a ball for most women around him. She has eyes and cameras on her everywhere. And she has to “prove” she’s worthy of bagging such a rich guy.

She has a lot of pressure on her looks. So much that I feel sorry for her, whether she feels that pressure or not.

I can't fathom why she would ruin her looks like that - she was very pretty, and now she looks like the "Joker" products videos in the Tim Burton Batman movie. She and her now husband must have body image issues - he's had plenty of odd surgery too (including allegedly having implants put in himself). All that money and they still aren't happy. I wouldn't be at all interested in him or his money - or the publicity circus the whole thing has attracted, but apparently she is, so good for her if that's what floats her boat. It's just a shame she wanted to put herself through all that surgery. And also a shame that it perhaps is the case that her now husband wouldn't have wanted her if she hadn't had that surgery.

Because it’s completely normalised and seen as the done thing to maintain one’s appearance & prevent ageing -sadly. One thing I’ve noticed in huge numbers of female US actors & celebrities (of generations older than current ones) who were all presumably pressured into having nose jobs - when their noses were perfectly fine to begin with - even like Cindy Crawford for eg. There just seems to be so much gratuitous plastic surgery before this culture of filling & extreme contouring took hold. I think the pressure, the culture in America of plastic surgery equalling beauty treatment & an unlimited budget means it’s easy I assume to lose sight of what looks good. Plus she’s presumably being guided by aestheticians who I’d imagine drive to a large extent what she “needs” to have done every visit. But it is out of control imo.

I was surprised how attractive she was before. It’s a shame.

I don’t think it’s necessarily low self esteem though, she seems a confident person. The cosmetic surgery cult in the US is insane and convinces women of a certain age that this kind of work is an “improvement”.

She seems to have been trying to “perfect” her look befitting a billionaire’s wife. Only she made a better billionaire’s wife before.

I agree and when so many women look like that it becomes the norm and then women expect to look like other women. It self perpetuates.

And turn themselves into drag queens, ironically.

I always wonder the same, too. Why would a woman choose to fill her lips to look like a fish underwater? It invariably looks awful. I always feel that the 'before' pictures look so much better.

Yaaay, we seem to have moved on from Meghan Markle at last!!

Thank god for that....

True, they all look the same. It's so boring - and they all look so fake.

Aging. Especially if you are very good-looking.
I just say, be happy you had it, when you had it.

Young women getting stuff done is another matter.
I think it’s awful to alter your gorgeous little face…

Just quietly, since you're calling other women bimbos, it's 'silicone' (for the stuff that goes in boobs) or 'Silicon' for the valley.

That picture isn't real, she didn't look like that a few days ago. But agree, she looked better to start with. I think the issue is that differences are becoming rare and noticeable so it's probeven worse in celebrity circles. I notice it now, someone with thin lips or small eyes really stands on TV and looks so unattractive compared to other people, even though 10 years ago you woudkbt have even noticed it.

You may not agree with her choice to under go cosmetic surgery but a bimbo she is not. Maybe you should educate yourself about her instead of judging her based on her looks.

This particular OP is solely judging women, though, hence me calling her a misogynist.

It's always lovely on threads like this to hear that women have been subjected to the male gaze and found wanting. We need much more of this in our society!

100% this!!!

This is interesting

They do, but in fairness, they tend to pick a "before" pic from when the woman was much younger and the worst "after" pic they can find, might even alter it if she doesn't actually look awful enough. The whole point is to make you gasp at how much she has destroyed herself.

She'd have been shamed for ageing naturally too.

Agreed

How many men are genuinely attracted to the fake look if that is their reason

Too little self-esteem coupled with too much money leads down this particular rabbit-hole!
Also - lip enhancement becoming nigh-on a rite of passage (see other thread about imagined sexual harrassment being rejected by HR) leads to the normalisation of plastic surgery/tweakments in the media and in some parts of society.
I personally would go only as far as to have dental implants, if I could afford it, but that’s as far as I would go - because I’m happy in my own skin, and people can (and do) take me as I am!
