Gen Z: The Generation Of Body Alteration?

My social media feeds are filled with women getting every kind of injection filler, and surgery to alter appearances. What was once a secretive and less talked about phenomenon is becoming increasingly popular and normalized in our generation. Is social media to blame for this rise in plastic surgery?

The more people get used to changing something easily purely for vanity, they will spiral at some point. Its harder to deal with aging and all the things that come with it at increased speed later, when you erase every little flaw early before that right away...at some point you cant fix stuff anymore...and then you get Madonna, who is still trying instead of letting go. We age in stages so we can get used to the change in our look. We dont just wake up one looking 80...that would be brutal. But people who try to look 20 until they are 80 will have a melt down for sure.

[@unit38421]

@@calistafalcontail Exactly. Because they don't learn how to deal with it in a 'natural' manner, and they risk becoming more reliant on surgical intervention to solve those problems. Eventually, the surgery can't keep up any more, assuming it ever could, but acceptance can. That is without even getting into the direct side effets of cosmetic surgery.

[@Lethal_Bite]

You know the worst part about all this cosmetic surgery to me, is that it doesn't work. Here's a warning to any women who are thinking about it. As a man who is atracted to women, 9/10 times you were much prettier before the surgery or botox. Us guys like a woman who is able to smile much more than one with no wrinkles. We like one with body parts that match and were grown normally than one who is out of proportion. It isn't worth it. You're already pretty, you just need to learn to see it. And if you start down the road of cosmetic surgery, do you think you'll ever stop? If you can't learn to accept yourself, no amount of surgeries will be enough. You will always be able to find that 'one thing' that 'needs to be fixed' over and over and over. It's just sad.

[@jamesredline1352]

PREACH BROTHER. I have made this point a few times myself. While attracting us shouldn’t be a woman’s only goal, if that is the goal the plastic surgery is not the way. Trout pout is a MAJOR turn off. Botox makes people look like cretins who can’t even control their own face anymore. I don’t want my daughter subjected to that. Godspeed natural women out there you are still winning.

[@joshwandered2944]

Yeah, that’s addiction to some people. However, it’s considered if they want to fix something that is asymmetrical in their face or body. But change yourself, for what? Because the society’s beauty standards said so? Hell nah.

[@DMp-xp6mj]

As a woman, plastic surgery looks awful to me too most times than not. I mean, you see fresh young girls turn into fourty year old corn stars and for what reason? I get that there are some men who like that look but I'm 100% certain that most men prefer the pretty girl next door look than the bimbo barbie look. I dont know, I think as a woman you grow up thinking that men only like women who are 90 lbs with ridiculous curves and so you think that your "average" body is not enough and this is a hard mindset to break. I myself am on the chubbier side and although I've had men interested in me i still feel undesirable. I get why those women do it because unfortunately the pressure to be beautiful is tremendous for women but it makes me sad.

[@privatename2426]

This plastic surgery issue is seriously out of control. I have a downturned nose and even though I had come to terms with its existence, people keep talking with me about it all the time like "You have a job and money. Why don't you get plastic surgery?" and it has started to effect me all over again. I used to be a very sickly kid and I have went under the knife for many lifesaving procedures for my heart and kidneys. I don't want to experience that trauma all over again just because of the way my nose looks. I don't want to mess with a properly working, healthy organ but seeing that even a 15 year old kid is telling me to get plastic surgery is starting to get beyond draining. People should just learn to shut up and let others live peacefully.

[@sofi4283]

The way I see it is that people function as mirrors and therefore they will reflect their own insecurities, hatred on others. on others. When I was younger I also felt insecure about my nose because it wasn't perfect like everyone else's. and then I grew up and started to love my profile and my imperfect nose. At that moment I stopped caring what people could tell me. I know it's annoying when people criticize you but you have the right to tell them to stop talking about your body as if they had the right to an opinion, it's called setting limits and it's healthy. Don't change because of other people's criticism, people will never be satisfied with you or with themselves. 😁

[@Eusong]

I absolutely love downturned noses on both men and women. My friends tease me that I'm attracted to "ugly" people but I think it looks adorable. I'm sorry you get so much hate over it. :(

[@ladylillymoss]

Living in the UK and being around europeans was one of the best confidence boosters about my nose. It was so refreshing to be around people who looked beautiful without having the perfect nose, lip, face or even body shape. Honestly I recommend watching more European or English films or something. It's something I do when I'm feeling too down about my looks because seeing a bunch of girls I think are pretty but wouldn't be put to screen in the US really boosts my confidence. Also no one ever commented on my nose when I was in the UK which is something I was used to hearing from strangers in the US. Although I did have an old lady rage at me and the US culture for making European girls feel like they needed a small button nose, blonde hair, big eyes, and perfect teeth. Ironically I don't have any of those and kind of agreed with her

[@JSharpe427]

Amen. If your nose is working for you, keep it as it is. If other people don't like it, than that is their problem. Just ignore or say nothing to them when they start saying stuff. Don't change for them

[@tayliftco]

To each their own, of course. I am thankful to a friend I had when i was in my 20s (she was in her 30s) who asked me, “Do you really want to look like everyone else?”, when I mentioned wanting a nose job. That stuck and made me think more about valuing my uniqueness vs trying to conform for approval.

The grossest part to me is that people have shamed me for saying that it's not good for your mental health to get cosmetic procedures like this done, that's how deep the brainwashing has gotten. I always hear the argument that it's empowering for women to fix their insecurities, but that in and of itself is such an insecure perspective. The empowering thing to do would be to accept your flaws and love yourself anyway. Unless in the case of some sort of disfigurement, I don't think people should be getting any plastic surgery done to themselves. It not only affects their own self perception, but it also affects the self perception of others, especially young girls. I appreciate you talking about this topic. I always see a lot of young female viewers in your comment section, and they really need to hear what you're saying. From a 26 year old woman, it does get better! We all hated our bodies growing up, it is perfectly normal and you don't need to change your body to be beautiful.

I'm 21 so GenZ and I have changed my body. How? By fucking working my ass off. I'm a trail runner and climber, I've just today finished a skyrace and I've taken 17 minutes less than last year. Three weeks ago I climbed the hardest route of my life. The real problem with our generation is that we don't wanna work for stuff. We want change immediately, without the pain, the sacrifice, the struggle. I have been training so hard to get these result, and my body has changed. I now feel much more at peace with my looks, I can say I have a great body that I'm proud of. And I'm proud of it only cause I know how much time and money and effort and suffering I've put myself through in order to get to this point. Getting plastic surgery doesn't solve your self-esteem problems cause you don't work for it. Get into the hospital, get anaesthesia, go back home. That's it. And then you expect to have all your problems solved. Nah man you just made them worse. Bet 99.8% of people who get plastic surgery don't feel better about themselves after a couple of months. We as a generation want things to always be perfect just because we feel like we deserve it. It really pains me. And I even get sometimes hate for being so obsessed for putting myself out of the comfort zone.

I am a 6' 5" guy and have never understood why people want to be tall. Once you get so tall it becomes incredibly difficult to find clothing that fits (clothing companies assume everyone just gets wider not taller), you deal with constant neck and back pain from having to look down at everything and people CONSTANTLY staring at you. I don't wish to be shorter cause this is how I was made to be. When it comes to looks people need to accept who they are and stop changing their image to please others.

I had a relatively large nose for my face when I was in middle school. I was always insecure about it, even in high school. I'm 26 now and I love my nose. It's strong, unique, and it fits my face. I feel a sense of resonance with it because it's mine and only mine. The saddest part about plastic surgery is that it standardizes the look of humanity. It literally mitigates what makes you look like you. There's something inherently spiritual about the faces and body types we are born into. It's like they are symbolic of who we are. And yet some people call altering (and often harming) them self-love. It's ass-backwards.

What’s really amazing to me is that-very often-the lip injection thing is plainly obvious, and intensely unappealing. A lot of men, at least the men with values and sensibility, find overly-adorned or altered looks unattractive in general. The giant fake eyelashes, the kool-aid hair coloring, the cheesy hair extensions, the stupid lip plumping; it all comes across as desperate. Most of us aren’t at all into the ‘hey, look at me’ type of girls.

Most girls who do these things end up looking either like drag queens or blow-up dolls. Not a good look at all.

As women who get their butts artificially pumped-up start to age, it looks like they're wearing a loaded diaper. With any permanent surgery, always ask yourself, "will this still be hot in 30 years? Is it even hot now? And does it actually make me happy long-term?"

[@mirinaxo1663]

It’s so true… It’s like it’s not acceptable to go through a weird awkward stage anymore. It’s normal to not feel amazing when you’re 15. It doesn’t mean you should start getting surgery. At least wait until you’re an adult and have lived in your body for a while.

[@juliannadouglass8844]

Exactly. I've been considering a breast reduction since high school, although I may wait until after I have kids so I don't have to do it twice. It's a medical reason. At 20, I'm already having back and shoulder pains, especially when I don't sleep quite right. It sucks. The one thing that is nice about it is that I'm generally pretty curvy, at least as of right now, and my chest and stomach look about even. I'd rather have a bigger stomach and big boobs than just a bigger stomach and no boobs. It doesn't look right.

Yes, I was just thinking this. Breast reduction, medical procedures that aren’t because you want to look “pretty” when you have no deformities or any real reason to change yourself, are the only acceptable surgery reasons. Everything else…

It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made, truly. I feel more like myself, more confident, and oddly enough I feel like once I had it done I actually started “living” - if that makes sense. I was crippled by judgement and embarrassment, and facial dysmorphia. I always feared meeting new people or potential romantic relationships.

[@ShootingStarStudio]

My take on plastic surgery: get it only if it’s needed. If you’re just insecure about something, save your money. But there are a couple where PS is a good idea. First one is after a serious injury. A couple years ago, Wendy from the K-pop girl group Red Velvet tripped and fell off a stage. As a result of the fall, she had a lot of facial injuries. She had PS to restore her face to what it was before the accident. The other scenario is chest size for women. I don’t support enlarging your breasts to appeal to the male gaze-studies have actually found that men who prefer larger breasts tend to be less successful than men who prefer smaller breasts or men who don’t care about breast size in a partner. But I do support breast reduction. I have a friend who got a breast reduction in her sophomore year of HS. She was never outwardly insecure about her chest size, but after she had them reduced, I noticed that she was standing up straighter. A lot of women have back problems because their breasts are so large, so for those women, I would say that a breast reduction would be a good idea for them. Then there’s the things that are very preventable, and this is targeting specifically Botox. If you take care of your skin, you won’t have to worry about wrinkles. Skin care is less expensive and far less dangerous than BOTULINUM TOXIN. At the end of the day, people are free to do what they want with their bodies. Just make sure that if you do get cosmetic surgery done that it’s for the right reasons.

[@pepperonipizzaily]

Honestly, whether you're seen as pretty or not by social media, you will always look better with your natural features than with any plastic surgery you could get. In my personal opinion, girls mistreat their bodies to reach a certain goal and completely ignore the beauty they have right then. You also have to keep in mind that your confidence and personality will play a major role in how people perceive you. There was a side my side video if this woman acting shy versus acting confident and goofy and she appeared more attractive to most when she acted confident. It's cheesy, but love yourself and others will love you. It's much better to have somebody that loves you for you rather than the facade that you put on.

The generation of Shallowness and Materialism. This is disgusting

As someone who got her spine screwed together in the middle... DO NOT GET ANYTHING DONE, IF IT'S NOT MEDICALLY NEEDED!!!! My Scoliosis wasn't bad, but the doctors talked me into it because i was just 13 years old and my Parents were worried about my future (Pain, worse scoliosis) If I could turn back time, i swear to god i would punch the Doctors. Your DNA want's you to be the way you are!! If you are not crippled or in pain, DON'T DO IT!!! This operation will be the one thing, I'm gonna regret for the rest of my life..

For the longest time I always hated how my face looked. I’ve struggled with Acne and started medicine for it. I always wanted to put on makeup to cover my flaws. One time I was getting ready for a dance that my friends invited me to. One of the moms really liked to do makeup and was really good at it. She put some on me and I didn’t feel like me. I hated it. I learned to love my freckles, 24/7 sunburned nose, and even my acne, I learned how to love myself. It makes me sad to see that society is pressuring men and woman to changes the way God made their bodies.

I came to terms with women getting breast-enhancements. Being in gym culture it's really common, since having really low body fat means you get really flat-chested. That's excusable, you're just altering something that's basically all fat (And as a dude, I won't complain XD) But all these other ones, the lips, nose, cheeks, etc. have never actually looked good and I wish women would stop destroying themselves

I think we have gotten so used to the idea if you aren’t happy you can buy yourself a new face/body as if it isn’t a massive decision. I had a nose job 7 years ago, and this came after YEARS of contemplation, planning, saving, and working through insecurity. For me, it was one of the best decisions i’ve made for myself - not because I was buying myself a new nose on a whim in order to fit a new trend, but because it was something I had truly thought about and considered for such a long period of time that I was certain that this was the right choice for ME personally. That being said, I can agree that cosmetic surgery has become such a common and trivial/normalized thing for women especially. It’s quite sad the pressures people feel to fit into a societal mold of being “beautiful”. For me, getting my nose done allowed me to stop fixating on every single flaw I have. It allowed me enough relief that I was able to take a step back and accept myself for who I am. That being said, I think there are a lot of people who get plastic surgery and then go the opposite way of “ok what next”. I think you really need to consider this very carefully and you need to do some soul searching and self work. For me, cosmetic surgery was an act of self love - however, I do not believe this is the case for many people who seek it. I definitely do not recommend cosmetic surgery to others just because it was the right choice for me personally. It is a very personal choice and I think society has allowed it to become way too mainstream.

I used to want to have breast implants but ultimately decided against it. Then around 25 I suddenly got huge boobs naturally 😅

I literally have a young friend who believes he’s worthless bc he’s 5’2 and is desperate to end his life due to body dysmorphia. He refuses to get psychiatric help bc then his parents will know he’s struggling and doesn’t want to be seen as the “mentally unwell kid” and feels everyone else looks normal. He says he’s skinny and and looks like a freak. It breaks my heart. TW: He’s tried to h@ng himself multiple times. So, since he refuses to get help, lives in a 3rd world country and can only afford hair removal which is literally $5. He can’t afford creatine, he doesn’t wanna ask his parent for money bc they’d know. He turns 20 today. He doesn’t wanna get older, he doesn’t even enjoy his bday. He gets comments about his appearance and literally sees comments on Reddit that say 5’2 men should “k!ll themselves” bc life can’t be good as a 5’2 guy. This is what our young people are being told and it is FALSE! I used to be in love with a 5’2 guy! And what’s crazy is that bc of his confidence and presence, I literally thought he was taller than me. 🤦‍♀️🤣 But that confidence is HOT. Embrace yourselves, people. I’m not here to judge bc I’ve wanted to change things too. But I definitely believe men feel they can’t talk about this stuff and it breaks my friggin heart. Go easy on folks. Go easier on yourself. People can be stupid, please ignore them. I know it’s easier said than done but just please realize they’re vain and ignorant. Love you!

I had a plastic surgery list in high school! It had 10 surgeries on it that I wanted. I’m still glad I never went through with it!

[@robin-hr7tc]

I am 17 and I have a list of 4 surgeries

[@alessandrajackson3768]

@@robin-hr7tc trust me when I tell you once you are older 21+ it all seems so stupid. There might be one that you want still and save up for. But 4 cosmetic surgeries isn’t necessary for anyone without a birth defect. I promise you that you are just gorgeous
