Wait. This shit has an upkeep cost too??
Makes sense, the matrix to which the artifice is applied continues to deteriorate.
Once you get plastic surgery, you have to keep getting plastic surgery. It's a forever and ever thing. Parts of it stay in your body/skin forever and permanently alter the way you look. You only become more and more grotesque.
Sometimes, not others. Getting loose skin from weight loss removed will often go fine as will other stuff like bone shaving. It's when you get to implanting or fighting aging that you enter a permanent battle.
And while that’s true it’s an ongoing battle, it’s not simply because of cosmetic procedures, it’s also because of the steady march of the aging process people are fighting against.
Yeah that's a battle you really need to be careful about how you fight because it turns ugly fast if you use certain weapons in it. You won't look young forever, but you can choose to age gracefully. Grow some laugh lines. Exercise in moderation (mostly cardio). Use sunscreen. And when your face starts to sag from age, embrace your crone era and start baking cookies for your loved ones
Well put. It’s a delicate balance between “aging gracefully,” and “yikes!”
Are there examples of people stopping plastic surgery? Like if this is an addict type thing and you need to keep it up or else it looks worse.....what is worse exactly?
Because this reminds me of the scary sunken in faces I see 'christians' from the 700 club that I see around me. They all have this 'my soul is wrong" look to their face. I'm not even religious but it seems evil.
plus botox permanently/chronically atrophies the muscles, so you have to keep taking it, or it will just look like south parks noem mask.
I like me some body horror!
The lip fillers d r i f t
Want to hear the worst part? It doesn’t leave your face/body when it drifts away from your lips
That's... very disturbing
Yeah, filler migration causes a weird shelf:
Doesn’t it just kind of sink down into their chin?
you have to because botox wears off, and your facial muscles atrophy from lack of use, so you have to take more, or if you age too much the cosmetics looks wierd and you have do something again. theres also blepharoplasty, (eyelids lifting), or stretching your skin somehow. the ISAIP Mac actor went all in on this, plus his wife, totally unrecognizable now from pre-season 12.
Yea it makes me sad to look at them. I had a trigeminal nerve irritation for a year and my face bothered me so much. It messed me up so bad over some invisible tingling...They must always have their face feel off. Every time they look in the mirror its a reminder that they've lost their sense of identity.
If that happened to me, I would need therapy to get over the loss of my face.
i had temporary trigeminal neuralgia from a broken/infected tooth, that was the most painful thing felt like 2 weeks straight til i got my root canal. sometimes if get ulcers in teh back of my mouth that are bad enough it causes similar but less severe pain.
Yeah Mac has had way WAY too much work done imo
like the recent awards show he and katlyn did, it was so cringe, even the isaip sub fans were so shocked by thier appearance, they said just grow old, and stop trying to look 20years younger. and then we also discussing that mac was thirsty to stay hollywoods inner circle, because anyone younger than a milenneals do not know who he is and teaming up with questionable characthers, like ryan reynolds, and the football star retiree.
Mac looks like he used the same machine the son'a from star trek insurrection to stretch thier faces. i think kaitlyn overdid her surgeries.
and what harm could there be from injecting a potent neurotoxin into your head?
the purified form is usually safer, than the botulinum toxin from the clostridium bacterium which is much more dangerous. but the paralysis is whats appeals to people, make your face into a frozen countertop.
I think it can cure certain types of really bad headaches too? Weird stuff.
God damn. You'd think the man who threw it all in for fat mac would have better esteem
i think the season 13e where he used PEDs to get really buff, was telling lol. no way a 45yo man can look like a bodybuilder, and not be on peds. plus he was trying to pussyfooting(being vague or evasive) around why he was using roids too, in all those interviews, just be honest lol.
mac was more real in the earlier seasons, post-13 hes fake as hell, fans said the cast literally became what they joked about.
It's a form of conspicuous consumption. The fact that it's obvious they've been altered is intentional.
it also wears off over time, so you would need upkeep procedures like botox regularly.
OTA upgrades.
Yeah, South Park did a documentary on it recently :)
