[@sunebites]

@카르멘Carmen girl... I must tell you this Please DO NOT do more plastic surgery. It can be very dangerous and korea's beauty standards are way too high... And only values one kind of beauty. Everyone can be beautiful if they take good care of themselves... You don't need to change your face to be truly beautiful. The "beautiful" korean and western societies have created is around money making. They create your insecurities to then profit out of them... Think of it this way: When did you start disliking your facial features? Probably when someone told you they were ugly... It's all in the society. Not only monetarily but also in terms of power. Companies like that put their customers down if they don't get plastic surgery like "you need a nosejob to be pretty!" is what the ads tell us indirectly for example. Let's all try to achieve natural, true beauty :) don't let your unique features and health be lost. Love ya

They should do a segment on men and plastic surgery because it’s not being talked about but it’s been increasing so much in recent years

[@cowinafield6282]

A Williams I think that there have also been procedures where men go to get surgery done on their pectorals to make them look larger/buffer, and end up with a botched surgery where unnaturally large breast implants have been used. I remember their was an actor that went through this and the doctor (who actually had lost his license) ended up going to jail. Also VenusAngelic, a culture KZbinr, had a gastric bypass to alter her physique in which was also botched. Although it’s not plastic surgery I thinks it important to mention since the black market surgeon actually stole two of her organs.

[@blaq_betty]

Same thing i thought

[@WhatTheHellRachelle]

ANNIHILATOR I don’t think it’s that people have forgotten how to cope with insecurities, i would say they never learned how in the first place. There’s now 2 generations that have become accustomed to instant gratification. I’m a bit older, and to be honest, the expectation to look perfect is even beginning to affect me as I begin to see early signs of aging. I’m in my 40’s but have good genetics as well as a history of taking really good care of my skin. I have also spent the last 10+ years of my life battling chronic illnesses and feel that I lost a huge portion of my youth, which creates added pressure to look even better and younger. I challenged myself yesterday morning by sending a selfie right after I had just woken up (no makeup or filters) to my long distance soulmate whom I’ve known for 22 years but haven’t seen in person for a really long time (its really complicated). However, I’m not sure I could have mustered up the courage if it were anyone else.

[@malicahamilton]

ANNIHILATOR That's a point! Its so sad because fixing one problem will then result in another problem and it will go on and on until you actually just stop and tell yourself its alright to look how i look and accept it. Instagram is addicting but we must always remember it's not real life people only show what they want you to see which is the best side of them ☺️

Thing is ,genetically some mouths are not meant to be bigger or fuller because it doesn't work with other facial features , but of course still doesn't stop people

[@MissHannah2036]

Exactly that's why it doesn't look natural, esp when someone get's a nose job, it artificially alters the structure of the face, not how it should look naturally. Nose is then out of proportion with the rest of the face. Like that TIffany woman has picked peter pan's nose out of a catalogue or is it Michael Jackson's :)

I started looking at my body and face. Then I realized I was behaving like the individual I was dating. I even got the Facetune application to look more appealing and went to the gym daily loosing 40 pounds in 5 months. I started becoming discontent with myself, and depressed at times.

People, there’s beauty in imperfections. Some people looked too made up, it’s not beautiful.

Once the air is let out does it ever goes back to its normal shape? The sad truth, you’ll look even older then before. The look is temporary dolled up but comes with consequences lots of $$ down the drain. Practice eating right. Getting old is a part of life. Fine lines with beautiful real smiles and healthy body, mind and soul is a beautiful thing. Nothing fake about that.

[@99txgh]

People say not to judge people just because they're getting work done because it's for their confidence and it's their business, and I do believe that but honestly, the message that you should love you how you look like gets diluted, my sister didn't have half the insecurities she had until she got Instagram. I personally don't think cosmetic procedures should be normalised at all, they're even showing TV ads for them now (not really done so much in the UK before), it's fine if you get them but the amount of hype it's getting on social media, it spreads the message that this is the standardised perception of beauty, so many people just look the same now

[@nixy9437]

it's sad af that surgery is getting more and more normalised, because surgery still comes with implications and risks, (e.g. overdosing on anaesthetics, blindness was mentioned in the video etc. botched surgeries are a possibility). people end up more likely to risk their life for beauty than for another person.

I think part of the reason why younger people are getting more involved with looks (for better or worse) is that a lot of celebrities we look up to (youtubers, IG models, etc.) feel more like friends. It's one of the ways that audience interaction can go wrong. While it's on the whole good, it also means that the things they recommend are more likely to be picked up. That can be fine, but when it comes to certain products (diet pills, "skinny teas", and cosmetic procedures), it can also be dangerous. After all, normal people will sell bunk products to make a buck, and online celebrities are still people.

[@thepeacefish]

I feel bad for Ashley because I know what it’s like to be that obsessive with trying to turn myself into a pretty object. To call it “vanity” isnt just reductive, it’s a dismissal. Being undeniably pretty gives a woman a huge amount of social capital in our society, especially in circles like Hollywood, but really everywhere. We are only barely starting to tell women that their value as a person is separate from their physical appearance, and that message is hard to internalize in a world that gives you so much more praise and good will for being pretty than it does for being thoughtful, kind, strong, decisive, intelligent or tenacious. We cant fairly criticize these women - they are products of how we treat women. But at the same time part of me is super resentful that her life apparently consists of just sitting in bed staring at her own face all day while millions of people much smarter than her are struggling to survive

[@Mienarrr]

thepeacefish While it‘s definitely a product of society and that‘s sad, you can still choose not to go with what is expected of you. I feel like everytime you do something not because you feel like that‘s what YOU want but that‘s what‘s better for some reason or another, you loose a little part of yourself. You become a puppet, one little piece at a time. If you wanna invest in something, invest in trying to stay positive in a world that makes it very very hard sometimes to do so. Equally time consuming, but in the end you‘ll be happy and see that all these augmentations only bring you very superficial and momentary pleasure. I just recently really realized that, and changed my view. But it‘s like quitting an addiction. Once you‘re through, it sometimes wants to take you back, but looking at other addicts you will always think to yourself „that‘s exactly why I quit“.

[@rachaelescober2736]

Ashely is obsessive and needs help with her complete lack of identity. She needs therapy, so feeling sorry for her is probably the correct response. Her life isn’t fun, no matter how much money she has. I am much happier with a struggle that will help me know what my character is, and help me stay away from an obsessive impulse to look at Instagram like an emotionally neglected teenager(which she probably was). I know, I know, armchair psychologist, but seriously... No, don’t waste your time looking at Ashely and think- “I would of done better with her cards”, and resent a total stranger that is struggling mentally. You don’t know what happened in her life to make her like that.... my guess is: nothing good! Just because you have silk on your pillows cases and you hair is perfect, don’t make you better, and I don’t think she is pretending to be better, her mind is totally warped by social media and her image that she can’t even connect to no matter how many times she looks at it. TLDR: I am triggered and full of sadness for Ashely. Money doesn’t fix everything.

And I still can't quite put my finger on what induced (or better said enhanced) this global insecurity about physical look in young people (possibly social media). A global image of a prefection, where you'll feel secure and loved and approved by society if your physical features were looking identical to the idealised image you have in your head? Don't they realise that there is no "perfect". Was it always like this? This is a really serious matter not bound only to makeup and physical enhancements. It's mostly to do with young people and how society is changing towards this idea to utilise teenage and adolescent insecurities (that have always been there, just not this apparent) to make a business off of it. Kinda sickening, and you start asking yourself who is at fault there... but then this becomes a talk about free society and free will, so... I won't go there.

Same thing im thinking

[@crimefite1316]

I agree, I think it's also good to point out though that this is not just affecting teens and young girls, but a lot of them are older women as well. Women of every age. I'm 29 years old and my self esteem has never been lower.

her lips were pretty....... i liked how the upper lip was slightly thinner it added something interesting into her face . now it looks rounded and unnatural.. and she looks basic now. yes little injection but changing so much in appereance

[@licia796]

KittyLicious i so agree ! overall with her face it looks so fitting. i wish people would know beauty doesn’t need a certain standard.

[@Hawtestyf]

I can easily go without social media/my phone and have idk how & why people my age are so obsessed with Instagram it gets boring after awhile. I'm 16 btw.

[@hriswitakalita5575]

Same here.

[@ww.DuzaFizz]

[@sparkygirl266]

Ourian's explanation for not finishing residency didn't really make sense...Wanting to focus on cosmetics is not a reason because you can devote your practice to whatever procedures you want to do after residency...I wanna know what was the real reason. You can't really call yourself a dermatologist if you didn't finish your residency in dermatology...

[@ye23.]

He was probably kicked out if med school

[@anupama2620]

ye23 ... I wonder what he did !!

[@Liz-vd4lj]

How did he get board certified if he didn’t finish??? I thought American medicine had higher standards....

[@Brwniee95]

He was acting mad shady and avoided the question all together 🤔

[@plumpy_space_princess]

@@Brwniee95 He mumbled his way through.

[@glittercatfeet5448]

Shady, please do a video on Korean plastic surgery!

[@luzamaya04]

3:50 He used the same gloves that he touched the phone with?

[@DCamp1271]

Luz Amaya lol hope he at least knows to wash hands.and change gloves after touching anything but the patient and his instruments. Especially a dirty phone!

[@itsaaronlolz]

Phones have more bacteria then a toilet 🤢

[@welliminitnowso]

Luz Amaya impending infection

[@ChisomAdaora]

That ties into the theme of the video. Some of these surgeons are not board certified and they don't follow protocol, but they still get patients because they are popular. I'm happy the camera person caught that.

[@luzamaya04]

Chisom Adaora good point
