Personally I think that learning to embrace your flaws is better than surgically "correcting" them. Humans are imperfect and that's okay. Getting surgery to make your body fit some cultural ideal just reinforces narrow beauty standards that end up hurting everybody. I think people's "flaws" are usually the most interesting and beautiful part of them. There are plenty of things about my body I don't necessarily like. But that's what makes my body unique and human and I'm glad to be on the journey toward embracing all parts of myself. I think the world would be a better place if we could just accept ourselves and one another for who we are and what we look like, flaws included. That's just my two cents. Of course, what people do with their bodies is totally their choice and at the end of the day it's none of my business.

Counterpoint, we live in the real world where how you look has a very real and very big impact on your life. If getting cosmetic surgery means people treat you better, it makes perfect sense to get it.

and since we all age we accumulate more "imperfections" in no time. Accepting them is unavoidable for beeing able to age mentaly healthy.

Nah, some surgeries look bad some look good, a glow up has nothing to do with natural or not. It isnt natural to shave with a factory made razor, use powerful creams to rid acne, use contacts or get lasik to fix your eyesight, etc. But, if done right, a proper shave, hair cut, cream, glasses/contacts can make someone look good at a price. Why not surgery?

Yeah I never understand where the ‘line' is for people who preach natural beauty as the only way. Like I've never had an cosmetic surgery, but if I go to the spa and get a facial is that too unnatural? Or if I bleach my hair? It's extra ridiculous because so many people expect women to uphold beauty standards that cannot be achieved entirely naturally. Like, being hairless is not natural. Shaving is fine apparently but laser removal is not. Lipo is ‘bad', but restrictive diets with piles of supplements are fine because that's more natural, supposedly.

Steroids dont just magically give you muscle. You still have to put in consistent work. Consistent diet and rest to even see anything.

You can do that naturally as well g thanks for making my point lol

I know a bunch of guys on steroids that you wouldnt think. When is it considered not a glow up then?

You know you have to work for that stuff too right? Money doesn't come from no where, people work their asses off to get the ass they want. Not to mention the physical strain of recovery, it's not a pleasant process.

I think that normalizing an obsession with looks (which are designed to fade) is a bad precedent to set for society. Doesn't matter if it costs money, why are we worshipping ourselves? Especially when we are getting faker and more plastic by the day.

I don't think plastic surgery is a good thing necessarily, I am just saying that framing plastic surgery as effortless is not true. People put a lot of work into their appearance, and earning money to pay for a procedure they think will enhance their looks, is just as much of a valid effort as going to the doctor to get acne medication, or going to the gym to work out. The obsessiveness which drives the desire for surgery is indeed a bad thing, but I don't see why that means we should minimize the efforts people put into their appearance.

by Rosina79 1 week ago

Lmao nobody is ruining society by liking the way a procedure looks. Society is full of a wide range of people. Some will also want that surgery. Some will hate it. Others will like the way it looks on someone else but decide it isn't right for them. Not everything an individual personally dislikes is somehow a threat against the entire western world.

by Equivalent_Phase_951 1 week ago

This is arguable. Tying your worth to looks can be dangerous from a mental health standpoint. I'm not saying all plastic surgery is bad, but body dysmorphia is undeniably a mental disorder which should be treated for the well being of the person suffering. Just statistically not treating it and accepting what the person wants isn't going to end well for them.

No because being ugly is just one persons perception. What you just described was myself. I'm Asian, my eyes are a bit smaller, the bridge of my nose isn't high arched and I have a wide nose. Do I feel ashamed of characteristics and genes that my family passed down to me? Absolutely not, but I can only fix the things that I can do myself. That means keeping myself in great shape, working out, haircuts/well-dressed, eating a balanced diet/sleep and everything else will fall in line. I'm positive in due time I'd be able to find someone compatible with me. Men or women, confidence when you know every day you earned your keep. It shines right off them and attracts everyone. That's what's a glow up is, the journey of knowing the struggle/effort you went through to obtain your confidence.

No. A glow up is self improvement, be it natural or surgical. If you love your features, great. Other people don't have to love their small eyes, just because you love yours. If they get those features altered, and feel better about themselves afterwards, that's a glow-up. You have the confidence to stay as you are. Others have the confidence to go under the knife to get the look they want. I'm sure you can find somebody without surgery. I'm sure people with surgery will find somebody as well. It seems like you're trying to shame the people who decided that they could look better, and saved the money to go to a professional to help them look and feel better, just because you've decided to accept your own perceived flaws

by constantin97 1 week ago

Confidence to go under the knife is adorable framing, i think you meant shame insecurity and being pathetic. Anyways they will always be hiding behind a mask, inferior to a creature to me.

You're mixing up medical procedures with aesthetic procedures. I think OP means that it's aesthetic if there is no medical need for it

If you can't look in the mirror and accept yourself. That's all that I have to say lmao

Glow up is literally that. It's a term used to mean making cosmetic changes to increase attractiveness

by Lawrenceschneid 1 week ago

Agreed, infact, I think cosmetic surgeries make you look worse 9 times out of 10.

by Soggy_Attempt4653 1 week ago

Personally I believe cosmetic surgery should only be for those who have a legit medical reason. Like a burn victim for example.

Lip filler isn't a cosmetic surgery, procedure yes, but definitely not a surgery

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Uh, that's the point of a "glow-up"; you're transforming yourself into an entirely different person. For some, surgery is a part of it this process. Same for bleaching your teeth and getting braces.

I'm so ugly I feel the need to get surgery done to gain some confidence?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

No, you don't need to do anything, if Y person doesn't like their nose and want to get surgery why are you judging them for it? And calling their glowup invalid? My friend had injury on her nose when she was a kid which made the nose realy weird looking and made her insecure afterwards so she got it done and it fits her face perfectly so? I should be an asshole and tell her she only looks good because of surgery? That's mean and judgmental
