How does that rhyme with increasingly many men also being obsessed by their looks and more and more having surgery done? Hair implants are on the edge of surgery and very common for men. So are nosejobs, eyelids correction, eyebrows raising etc.

While some hatrid is probably misogyny, I have the feeling the divide between people liking “corrective” surgery and those who don’t is more like the age old difference between “high culture” and “folk culture”.

My personal opinion: it’s usually ugly. Almost always do I find it ugly. Chances are I find a naturally aged person 40-65yo more beautiful than ones where it’s super obvious they had stuff done. Especially the trend of getting stuff done super obviously really makes my stomach twist. The natural looking older people to me often just emit a “i’m only human”, “i’m nice” vibe while the overedited body (including having supermany tattoos by the way) usually just screams insecurity, uncertainty, … at me.

And excluding things like corrective surgery after accident or making boobs smaller because of backaches: I find plastic surgery just for the thrill of it an enormous waste of healthcare resources, while many people can’t afford the most basic of health care.
