Bella Hadid, Dove Cameron, Anna Taylor Joy, Kylie Jenner - are all reportedly fans of plastic surgery. And I can see why. When you have a lot of money and resources, enlisting the help of the most skilled plastic surgeons is a piece of cake. And since we're all feeling the pressure to conform to the current beauty standards, plastic surgery can seem very appealing. Got a big nose? get a nose job. Got hooded eyelids? Get eyelid surgery. Got small lips? Filler will help that. Need higher brows? Go on and get a brow lift. For every insecurity there is a procedure. But that begs the question: when does plastic surgery start becoming self mutilation? - Jak na to + styl
Mother giving her 8 year old daughter botox needs to be arrested
💯
🙌🏻
Absolutely 💯 😢
same with piper rockelles mom, ive never seen that clip before, shes only 16 now and her mom is already being sued for child abuse and exploitation of minors
Seriously, how has she not been arrested already?
I dont think we as people were ever meant to look at our own faces this much
Tbh i agree!!
You’re right. It wasn’t until the last few centuries that we were able to see a clear image of our own face at all.
We also weren’t supposed to see as many people as we do. We compare ourselves to the people we see every day. If we see regular people, the ordinary people around us, we’re healthier than when we’re bombarded with images of impossibly beautiful people.
This this this!!!
That's an excellent point. I'll even second this by saying : we aren't even built to be looking at so many faces either. For the longest part of our history, humans were used to live no beyond their place of birth. Today we get bombarded with thousands of images of faces, that are even chosen among the most beautiful.
The more you look at yourself, especially with a magnifying glass (figuratively and literally) obviously the more you will notice or imagine imperfections. The constant comparison is another part of it.
I couldn't imagine looking at my daughter and thinking "yeah, this can be fixed" my daughter is absolutely beautiful as she is in my eyes.
You're not a narcissistic parent. Unfortunately, narcissistic parents think things like that all the time even though they would never admit it
GodBless yu Mama bear xx )
Please tell that to her when she’s a teenager too
its so screwed up how any parent could think that. My mother has always been insecure about her facial features, but actively compliments and celebrates seeing those features on my own face. I would be proud to see my own features on the face of my child too, why would someone want to erase that?
Why tf you worried about what someone else does wit their kid who cares if u dont like it first of all you cant even afford it
Plastic surgeons should have high morality. When I met this surgeon for double eyelid surgery she kept asking if its something I want and kept asking the reason why I wanted it. I have pretty droopy eyelid and it sometimes pushes my eyelash inside my eye which is super uncomfortable so I wanted double eyelid as i heard it can help with that. She wanted to know if I was getting pressured by others or if I have body dysmorphia. I wish lot of other surgeons be more like her.
You know, a good strategy to fix that would be to let go of mascara. Live for a little bit without it and see what it's like.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790 lol so you're saying I should just pull all my eyelashes. That seems kinda painful lol
@@serchmaabaatarchuluun5761I think you're confusing "eyelashes" with "mascara"?
@@teyak13 Oh yeah, English isn't my first language so I didn't notice that. Thanks

Sorry but parents taking their children to have non-medical botox should be reported to cps, that’s child abuse. Doctors performing non medical cosmetic procedures on children should have their medical licenses taken away. This is completely not okay how is this legal and allowed???
Exactly sticking needles in your child like a junky wtf...(especially 4 no medical issue)
Yea! I was born in the city they spoke of and it hurts me to know cps was not called on that mom, but others who were legitimately trying to get their children proper hospital care .
Completely agree
@@monejohn9973Botox actually is for a medical purpose before people saw the side effects could be capitalized on . Please don’t conflate drug addiction with needles. It’s also very very unkind to speak of the medical condition, which is drug addiction is calling someone a junkie. I have to get Botox for a true medical purpose and it’s just really really triggering to hear someone conflate that with what I assume you think of as heroin usage.
YES!
I feel so bad for the girl who gets botox done by her mom. Her body image has to be so, so bad. And it's all her moms fault.
Yes i felt like when the little girl was talking about how it looks after she was just parroting what her mom tells her
Plus, it’s terrible for you long term! We don’t even know what kind of long term damage that causes yet. That little gurl’s facial muscles are gonna atrophy before age 21 and she’s gonna look like she has Bell’s Palsy
That should be under child abuse that’s horrible what 8 yr old girl needs to go through all that?! She’s supposed to be having fun and being a kid
not only that but it will probably end up paralyzing some of her facial muscles for good when starting out so young
And sadly, she is going to cause this little girl a lot more wrinkles later in life and probably earlier. I have to get Botox for a true medical purpose, and it’s pretty hard to stop your usual emotions that would cause muscle movement so muscles next to the paralyzed muscles will start taking the workload and possibly create a new or different wrinkle than you had before.
"They didn't need plastic-surgery; they needed THERAPY"
i was horrified by dove cameron recently. she's 27 years old and looks like current-day 65-year-old madonna, and she was so cute i couldn't believe she did that to herself, but given the amount of terrible things i can think about my own face just because im in a bad mood on a particular day makes me think if i was in the entertainment industry, constantly seeing my own face in pictures and on giant screens, hearing everyone in the world's opinion and living in this world where cosmetic surgery is just expected, i think i would ruin my face too.
Dove Cameron looks alien-like to me now. If you ever question your looks, just remind yourself about her botched face!
thank you for saying this, I feel the same, it's easy to forget what the pressure of looking perfect does to EVERY woman
Oh shit yeah it’s Madonna!
I agree her mood changed a lot after Cameron’s Boyce’s death
do you really think that comments like this are going to help at all?
just saw an interview with a plastic surgeron who said he refused to do treatments on people with body dysmorphia because it is a mental thing and no tweakments will make it go away. good to know there are still sane people out there.
Same for most transgender people. Most, not all. But wether a sex change surgery will actually help the person needs to be assessed by mental health specialist. And definitely for people over 18, not children.
Yes, the most trendy type of body dysmorphia that I can’t even say because of CZcams censorship is taken far too lightly and medicated far too easily. It’s a mental illness when no one can objectively see what you claim to have (which is why so many tiktokers get away with pretending to have mental disorders). It only exists in your head and everyone is just taking your word for it. Yes many of them can be seen in your brain and the chemicals it does or does not release, but that’s exactly what makes it a mental and not a physical illness. No one gets mad or takes it negatively when I say depression is a mental illness. It’s just a fact, it’s not good or bad that it’s a mental illness by definition. So why take offense to any other disorder being identified as a mental illness? It just is what it is.
@@rayavladovska9791facts
Which plastic surgeon
@@rayavladovska9791have u ever researched what a trans person has to go through to receive governmental and medical procedures. There are people who have waited DECADES just to be put onto a waiting list after years of having to explain themselves to psychologists. Trust me no one is out here just walking into sex change clinics without having to have stacks of references beforehand.
I just got married on Sunday and saw a video of my dad walking me down the aisle from the side. You could tell we have the same nose and it made me SO happy. I’ve always hated my nose but I got emotional seeing how much we look alike
I love this! 🥹❤

Awwww ❤
That’s really beautiful 💕

looked into the case with the 8 year old girl and found out the mother was a pageant mom (surprise, surprise) who would also wax her daughters legs. a week after they were featured on the news, cps was called and the daughter was moved out of the house (this case is a decade old). don't know any further details but i hope she is doing alright and knows she was born beautiful and that she deserved better.
If you have more melanin DO NOT GET THE LAZER HAIR REMOVER I'm sick of influencers having the lack of knowledge or ignoring the dangers that it can do to your skin especially if your skin darker if you'll use it get a anti burn gel and always use that and talk to a doctor about it it's a literal freaking lazer it's not like a electric razor that has safe guards
Thank you so much this, I wish more people would see this just to get educated. This gores for any type of laser treatment its best to go to a professional who knows how to use it on darker pigments
@@junemckenzie8412
No be careful with which laser it is even with this laser she's promoting can not be good for your skin especially if you have more melanin
pretty sure these products specify that they are not for use on darker skin, surely it must be a safety requirement to disclose such...
Great comment, influencers overlook these things all the time.
I do have more melanin and because of metabolic syndrome, I had to have my WHOLE FACE lasered. I had without an issue. You need to have a dermatologist do the laser who is experienced, and has the RIGHT laser for darker skins.
An aesthetician at the salon I go to recently died from a blood clot after a “routine” tummy tuck. She had two children and died alone in a hotel room across from the clinic. This has gone too far. I also worry that any criticism of plastic surgery is now being labeled as mere jealously or “women not supporting women.”
YES!! Feminism needs to talk more about how feminist ideology can be used to perpetuate patriarchy and justify selfish desires...in this case all these women believing that their value is women is tied up in how they look is exactly what men want us to believe...
Couldn't agree more. I always see women saying that it's a woman's choice and therefore a feminist choice. Completely ignoring the fact that choices aren't made in a vacuum and the fact that women are dying because of these procedures is very sad and disturbing. I recently heard about a story about a mother of three who died after getting a bbl, absolutely horrifying!
"Women support women" is stupid anyway. Support people who deserve it, don't support those who don't. Support actions that are good. Don't support actions that are harmful/bad/you disagree with.
@@kunya16thank youuu!!
Just because someone has a vagina, that doesn't make them automatically good people lol!
As someone who lost over 100 lbs and is scheduled to get a tummy tuck, I'm now terrified. I hate having a stomach of an 80 year old at just 30 years old. It's easy for those who have never dealt with such issues to tell people to just embrace their body the way it is, as they have no idea how emotionally damaging it is after losing so much weight only to have hanging loose skin.
I was abused by my ex and got my nose broken. I had plastic surgery so I could look like my OLD self. Plastic surgery saved me from looking in the mirror everyday and being reminded of my abuser and the assault I experienced. For these reasons I am very pro plastic surgery. However, I agree that anyone under 18 should not be able to receive plastic surgery unless it is for medical reasons, such as breathing problems.
I'm so sorry you went thru that 😢
That’s so disgusting that that happened to you. I’m so glad you were able to get away from that person and that plastic surgery was able to help you ❤
I do hope you got therapy for that in order to heal mentally and emotionally. Stay safe, always.
I do hope you got therapy for that in order to heal mentally and emotionally. Stay safe, always.
Plastic surgery for medical reasons is completely valid but surgeries for looks should be made illegal, I really don't understand how people can ruin their naturally beautiful faces like that smh🤦♀️
advertising permanent hair removal in a video where you criticize unrealistic beauty standarts is insane
Yeah, that did seem tone deaf. I get wanting to do it, bc the pressure of people around us and feeling insecure in a bikini can really get to a person to the point that it may legitimately just be easier to remove it, and it's not as harmful or drastic a change as surgery, but still, the ad should've been on a different video with a different topic at least.
LMAO RIGHT 💀💀💀💀
@@EllaNotHere Ena! :D
Right! That struck me as incredibly hypocritical
its not about changing your whole body and face. you dont receive a general anesthesia, it dont cut your body and face with knife. sometimes its about hygiene! Hairs on legs wear off and erased by using pants and if person have a sensitive skin there are could be ingrown hair! Also, this is not forever!!! You can use it or not!
As a person with very extreme body dysmorphia, I like to force myself to watch videos like this to constantly remind myself of why i shouldnt get plastic surgery or botox or filler or whatever
Here to remind you NOT to ruin your face, you're perfect as you are for the right person. I haven't found my person yet but I have to believe she's waiting for me somewhere. I'd hate to find that person only to realize they've become a botox monster.
The best thing of growing up without money is not being able to afford plastic surgery in my teen years. Now 26 and every part I thought was too big, too this, too that, my face and body has grown into them. Also, was able to give myself the years of self love and emotional growth I needed to grow out of the self hatred stage of life.
Im turning 36 in 2 months and I really resonate with what you’re saying. I was starting to feel really confident in my skin and beauty by your age , and it only got better . Now at 35 I feel even more confident and comfortable and I truly feel more beautiful. I know no 2 people are the same , but I hope you’re journey of loving your beauty continues to grow! ❤
Exactly, it takes a while to fully mature and learn to accept yourself. Everybody's quirks are what make them beautiful, in my opinion. Gets boring when everyone looks the same!
this is why i think people shouldn't get plastic surgery until they're at least 25. the insecurities we have as kids don't always stay with us as adults. not too long ago i had found a list i wrote when i was 12 for all the things i wanted to get plastic surgery on. it blew my mind how none of that stuff bothered me anymore. i'm so glad i never got anything done.
Same thing happened to me. I hated every aspect of my body and face. But then around 25 I became more confident but then I reached 30 and now I have no care in world of what people think about me. Sometimes I think it should be illegal for anyone to do anything cosmetic until they reach their late 20s. But that’ll never happen of course.
Same
I think more people need to watch Botched to get a glimpse of reality. It's not just the risk of having bad plastic surgery, but the fact that it shows that even good surgery is still surgery. You want a tummy tuck, but do you really want 150 staples across your stomach? Are you willing to be literally sliced open in half? No thank you. No matter how much I want bigger boobs or a better body, I'm not about getting chopped up for it!
Thank you! Surgery isn't without risk and the recovery afterwards sounds like no joke! Plus going under anaesthesia is pretty major too. Imagine having 10 procedures in one go like that woman, surely that must have left her in incredible pain with a long recovery time.
I know someone who got a tummy tuck and her stomach is so tight she can’t do sit ups anymore. Bending at the waist, painful.😢
I saw Botched and Nip/Tuck when I was in high school and that was enuf for me to say no to getting under the knife.
@@Emily-kj1tb latching on to your point about anaesthesia being major. Emmalyn Nguyen was 18 when she went in for breast implants but the doctor didn't monitor her after giving her anaesthesia (he also prevented the nurses from calling 911) and she ended up going brain dead and died a year later. she was so young :( the doctor was found guilty of attempted manslaughter.
It's funny because I've run into Kylie Jenner at a store I worked in on Rodeo and when I tell you the number of scars I saw on her face from obvious surgery has turned me off any facial surgery for as long as I live. People have to remember that skin is skin and when you cut into it, it will never go back to the way it was.
that mother with the 8 year old needs to be in jail
Erin Moriarty (Starlight from The Boys) is a great, tragic example of this. Watching her face change over the course of the show is heartbreaking.
Omg so true! the announcement video made me rewatch it because she look different person. It seems it affected her acting too
A few years ago I saved up all the extra money I received for a nose job. I had a consultation, had a surgery date, everything. Then my cat needed two blood transfusions and I was out $4k overnight, depleting my nose job fund. Thank GOD I saved for that nose job, because my cat is alive because of it. But also, three years later, im so happy I spent that money on her instead of altering my nose. Because even at 26, my nose still was not done changing, and it looks so different today without blowing $8k on surgery. Basically, im glad I saved my money, saved my cat, and became more comfortable with who I am
I´m happy for you, and your cat!

@@nazaninsoltanpour6254I half agree with this. Hair removal for aesthetic purposes is not a new thing, nor is it trendy. Sure, it's superficial and maybe a bit hypocritical for this video.

the absolute irony of promoting a laser hair removal device in the middle of this video
my exact thought
what’s the irony of it?
I laughed at that
Even laser hair removal isn't permanent. Would you have preferred wax or razors? Or a societal shift to accept body hair on women? (Because I can tell you, we're not even close to that yet - and I'm someone who shaves legs maybe once every 2mths!)

Less than 2 mins in and my heart is BROKEN. The teen broke it. The 8 year old shattered it. Omg. Those girls were perfect the way they were. I’m in shock.
Kylie looks 45 without all the filters and FaceTune. The surgeries have aged her.
That's the truth nobody want to see. That they look older with those fillers. Every girl i know and get their fillers, they look older and older
@@domca558 Agreed, it's bloody insane.
it doesnt help that she is gonna look way worse when shes older.
Like some people can get away with not saying they got plastic surgery, but once theyre in their 40s you see that their skin lookslike it wants to sag but its just smooth and it looks so weird
i kept getting recommended yt shorts of some asian mom and it was like “how my 50 year old mom keeps her skin healthy to look 25” and the woman had a ton of work done.
@@domca558 yeah and it's a shame because it's simple logic. Fillers were meant to fill sallow pockets of skin in older people whose natural collogen had depleted. If you're young and still have collogen, where is that filler going? The answer is your skin has to stretch around it to accommodate it, since it's being forced into spots where there's no extra room. As the filler is absorbed by the body, that stretched skin sags, giving you premature wrinkles and aging you, which is will continuously grow worse as you age.
Speaking of filler's tendency to be absorbed by the body, that causes a 2nd terrible side effect - the misplaced filler absorbed by your cells makes you whole face that much puffier and misshapen, which is why people who get fillers for years start to look like blob faces. The response to this is usually to start getting even MORE filler in key areas like cheek bones and chin to try and artificially get some definition back in your face, exacerbating the issue and creating a vicious cycle.
Kylie started getting fillers as a teen and legitimately looked like she could be in her late 30s when she was 19 years old. She's going to age horrendously and I feel bad for her. She was so young when she started getting work done, and being raised in the spotlight and with a family like that it's not hard to imagine why.
@@domca558I think this is also partially intended... The more you use, the older you look. And the older you look, the more you will get in order to appear more your youthful...
A very vicious, almost evil cycle.
there should be stricter laws on the age limit for cosmetic surgery like there is with tattoos. i can't believe that mum could inject botox into her own 8 year old child!
It's sick. If she thinks she sees wrinkles on that little child she's having delusions
This mom apparently doesnt understand that with age the elasticity of the skin will gravitate down, so no matter how much botox you inject, your age will always be recognizable
That was such a sad clip 😢
Literally. I think that if you have to wait till 21 to drink, you should wait that long for this too.
@@blablablajI'm not saying I agree with giving an 8 year old Botox but it is a preventative measure for wrinkles. It's got nothing to do with elasticity. It's a muscle paralytic so it stops you making facial expressions that cause lines to form or it stops your muscles pulling your skin so lines you already have already have aren't visible. Filler will replace lost volume in your face so your skin doesn't sag. Eventually you'll need actual surgery to lift it all up but things like Botox and fillers can make a huge difference in how young you look. Even just lip filler can make you look younger. Your lips get thinner as you age so making them fuller gives a more youthful look. Cheek filler and under eye filler can take years off you. A skin booster can get rid of lines on your face and neck and give you a glow you can't get with just topical moisturisers
as someone who has had an extremely difficult plastic surgery done, 5:10 could not have been more right. months of pain and eating only liquids through a tube since i couldnt chew, months of slow recovery and bruising and physiotherapy and yet the moment i finally recovered i immediately started feeling insecure about another part of my body

The irony of you putting a hair removal ad while criticising how unrealistic beauty standards are.
you putting hair removal in the same category as botox and plastic surgery is wild.
think a little further@@senu.
Yeah, it’s all part of the beauty standard 🙄 I don’t shave my pits or legs anymore. And just trim the rest. It’s not necessary to be shaving or removing hair like that. It’s there for hygienic reasons and isn’t dirty or unhealthy. Especially when men are accepted with those things.
True, especially since that kind of hair removal technic only works at a dermatologist's or a certified professional's office. The 'remove the hair forever at home' devices don't work as they can't reach the high settings needed to be efficient (it would be unsafe, the real machines are the size of a big printer and they can cause permanent burns if used incorrectly)... and when you do it at a professional's... it DOES hurt as it is making the bulb of your hair burn in your skin, targeting the melanine. As someone with PCOS I remember blowing my pocket money for something like that as a teenager as I was desperate for something to fix this and being so disappointed not getting results.
there's something so ironic about making a video about the pitfalls of plastic surgery while endorsing a hair removal product
Not the same thing at all
@@dingleberryftm7918 they're both ways to change your natural body to look like what other people think it should look like. In that way, it's totally ironic. "Don't change your body with plastic surgery, change your body with hair removal"
So as an FYI, in quite a few East Asian countries, people don’t just get plastic surgery (eg double eyelid surgery) to become pop stars. Many companies will require your height, weight, and photograph on your resume. In some cases being attractive and getting plastic surgery are matters of getting employed or not, especially at a top company.
Exactly. While I do think procedures have gotten really out of hand, let's not shame people. It's a fact that more attractive people have better outcomes in life. Unless you are extremely intelligent or talented and that overrides your looks, beauty is really important for success (not saying it's right but it's a fact)

yea while having so much makeup on too xD
I got a minor cosmetic surgery done and everything went well, but I sat there afterwards like "I would never do this again." Modern medicine is incredible, but surgery is still surgery. It can be a toss-up as to whether an individual responds well the anesthesia, or if it stops their damn heart, and there's no way to test which one you are. Blood clots are also not as rare as we think they are. Surgery should be limited to when it is absolutely necessary for survival.
Stef, people should be aware that EXTRA FAT, SKIN AND BONE may save one's life. An aunt of mine had breast cancer and because of plastic surgery, some autotransplants could not be done. It was beyond giving her new breasts. The tumours' removal gave her problems in her arms and part of her back. Think twice before having a extreme body makeover. That extra, flacid and fat skin can be a blessing in the future. Hugs from Brazil.❤

I came years ago for your eyeshadow tutorials for our hooded eyes but I stay for this series ❤ much love SL
I think describing people as stunning when they are just normal people is part of the problem. Not everyone has to be superstar beautiful. We can just be normal and natural. Not everyone has to be beautiful to the general public. We only need to feel good enough in ourselves, and be told we're beautiful by the person who loves us
we need to start pushing back against our fellow women - like, no babe, you're actually NOT a 10 and you'll never be 😂
The "ugly" features of a person are also usually what makes them unique. And to me, that's what makes them most beautiful! and too often the pendulum swings the opposite way and where they used to think their lips were ugly b/c they're too thin, they end up being ugly b/c they're too puffed up.

Your video has a great message but I wish you would’ve picked a better ad. It was somewhat ironic to see an ad for hair removal while watching this since women are constantly shown products and ads for surgeries to “fix” parts of themselves.
I really miss when women were unique and beautiful in their own way. This “instagram model” mold that is the goto these days is just depressing. Love that you call out all this nonsense and hopefully woman will start appreciating their own beauty and quirks and be proud of themselves without spending insane amounts of cash to look exactly like every other chick standing in the room.
thank you so much! x
I'm sorry what year was that? Every era in history has constant criticism of the way women look and what they are doing or not doing.
@@someusername4129Ya but WAY MORE NOW !!!!!!! In the age of social media it is in your face 24/7 you can't escape it.
I’m an 80’s kid and I can tell you with great certainty that fake boobs, nose jobs, lipo and Botox were not a thing unless you were ridiculously wealthy and OLD. Yes, we all needed to have our 501’s, Nikes, parachute pants and all the other 80’s fashions BUT we all had different butts, chest size and faces. So….that would be the “era”. Yes, women have always been objectified (so have men, let’s be real) it’s what we do in reaction to the objectifying that has gotten absolutely, off the charts, insane!
Fault society for that. It's ingrained in us from the very beginning that we girls/women do have to look a certain way and *behave* a certain way to be either considered attractive or even be worth of love. This also goes for men of course. A man has to be a certain height, has to be either muscular or athletic, six pack is a must have, full hair on their head, not on their chest or, Gods forbid, on the back, etc. However, women suffer more because we have more pressure from all sides and pretty much constantly (society wise and family occasionally).
honestly just looked at my face in the mirror and I like it. Not every day, not all the time, sometimes not without a little makeup to cover my blemishes, but I'm so happy I still look like ME
Same
I don't usually skip ads but that was a ridiculously long ad I don't think a quarter of the video is fair to use as adspace
go cry about it
Easy for someone to say when they have a naturally perfect face by conventional beauty standards.
I don't believe anyone under 21 should have plastic surgery unless it's an actual medical issue. Also I believe that maybe 1% of ppl in general, actually are happier after plastic surgery. Blessings & Love 💜
Exactly what I was thinking🖐🏻🙄
100 % agree !
Except I understand why my flat chested -A cup friends got a boob job under 21...they gave me n the medical doctor a million reasons why n got approved most were in the military and got the job done for free after Counseling n therapy....if your not flat chested you have zero room to judge
21 AT LEAST! might sound dramatic, but i think most surgeries should take place after 25. i feel like 25+ gives you more time to settle in to your features and grow-up mentally. a lot of these insecurities might disappear (or become less severe) once you get older.
25+. prefrontal cortex is the only thing that can make a decision
Body dysmorphia means you can’t see what you truly look like. Doing surgery on someone who even after it’s done, won’t know what they look like should be illegal.
Thank you so much for you!!! I’m a makeup artist and work with well known people and I can tell you, what you see in person versus a photo is definitely not the same. Also photoshop and perfect makeup will always create an illusion.
Yes, we've got a problem. A huge one! And I'm super grateful for you educating people about the beauty standards out there and how toxic and dangerous this is! THANK YOU, Stephanie!
Sending much love
thank you love! x
You realize she sponsored a beauty product? Shes nothing better 😂😂😂
@@charrle5208 Well all CZcamsrs need to earn income. I feel a hair removal tool is low on the list when it comes to body modification. Many of us shave right? This tool does the same thing.
When I was 14, my orthodontist who took my braces off, tried everything to convince my mom i needed veneers....i am glad my mom said no. The lady had a horribly bleachey looking mouth and later in life when I saw bleached teeth with veneers, i thought it looked so outta place.
Ty for your videos!
While I approve of the message, I must admit that I find you advertising a cosmetic procedure (which IPL is) in the middle of this video to be quite baffling.
*talks about bad impact of boy dysmorphia and bodyshaming*
*ALSO advertises body-hair removal device*
yeah something is off about it
go cry
@@6arbiegirl lol weak aura
The 8-year old girl getting botox made me cry, it is incredibly sad. Thank you Stephanie for making your content. I hope that everyone is able to find your channel and realize they do not need to conform to ANY (ridiculous) standard. You have helped me heal the way I view myself and I can't thank you enough.
As someone still fighting the mental part of recovering from Ana, I am so grateful I can't afford to get cosmetic work done, it would destroy me and lead to a very very bad path.
Gosh. I havent heard the term ana in years! Good luck in your recovery. Some days will be easier than others, but there is loght at the end of the tunnel. And i thoroughly agree about not having money for plastic surgery. Knowing my luck i wouldnt make it off the table 🤦♀️
Good luck with your recovery. All the best ❤
@@kwoylee5617 thank you ❤️
this is relatable to my broke ass, body dysmorphia ass.
The mental part, maybe…
Minors can’t give consent to plastic surgery. Period.
This is a really great video essay. Thank you for making this.
This video should be seen by millions. We are at a dystopian level with plastic surgery, it has gotten out of hand.
No we aren’t this is social media and Hollywood nothing new 😂
I think one of the saddest parts of all this is what happens when these people have kids and those kids have the features that their parents hated so much they had surgery to change. Does it just become an endless cycle?
Yep, sadly they take it out on their children and have them get work to match
One of my ex friends had that issue. Her mom had a completely tasteless nose job that seemed so unnatural it might have as well been botched, in her younger photos the woman had a completely fine, straight nose that virtually had no bump. My friend also inherited her mom's nose which was literally the most normal looking nose, she still got it done. It is not botched like her mom's it is a job well done on the surgeon's part but it's too small for her face so she didn't get prettier overall
Appreciate the ad timing.. needed that time to zone out & reboot after hearing the little girl say how much prettier she is after botox.
Hey, at home IPL... Stay far away from it! I'm paying like 600 dollars a month now in Australia for electrolysis to now remove hair off my face that was majorly exasperated by an at home IPL machine. Just don't do it. Either get laser professionally or go straight to a specialist electrolysis. Stay away from beauty salons offering either of these services.
It's amazing how people want to look the same. It's honestly WILD. I watch old movies and love how different people look. And they're not perfect but they're so beautiful. I wish we could see ourselves that way in these trying times.
Fuhking *refreshing* ✨🤌🏼
You have to remember this is just the internet though put the phone down and go outside 😂not the case everyone is so different
i've always hated my nose. you know, i got the nose from my mum and we have a very difficult relationship. i always wanted surgery for my nose. after years of getting complimented on it (and me obviously not believing a single word), guess who has my nose now? my son. my beautiful, 8 year old son. man, i love this nose.
aw, the baby! much love to the little lad!
Idk feels weird hearing someone who hates body hair on women, has obviously gotten some work done, and bleaches their hair, frowning on others getting plastic surgery
Tbh this video feels like someone whos already conventionally attractive saying “ugly people don’t need surgery!” Without knowing what ugly people go through. Very insensitive imo.
@@miclovesart that too! Don’t get me wrong, there is a huge problem with plastic surgery but it seems hypocritical to promote body hair removal in said video.
@@sugma148 exactly. I completely agree, she’s saying “don’t modify your body in that way, but definitely modify your body in THIS way!” And the bleached hair is just another way she’s modified her body!
Exactly what I thought- the juxtoposition is almost comical considering how much this woman has altered her natural face with makeup.
Thank you for making this. So necessary! Well done😀
Omg!!! 8yrs old!!! Im shocked...thats so wrong on so many levels....physically and mentally destroying her child...its child Abuse!!!!🤬🤬🤬
It's so sad to think that people are ruining their faces for trends and beauty standards that will change completely in 10 years. 2000's standards for women were hella different from 2010 and definitely far from 2020 (even tho some are trying to force 2000's to come back).
I realized the moment you started your laser hair removal ad you missed the mark.
Jeez, that ad break was over 2 minutes long, on a 9 minute video.
You help me feel unapologetically comfortable in my own skin. With every upload!! Tysm Stephanie 😊💛
that makes me so happy!!! you're amazing! x
Your point is so valid, but sponsoring a hair removal product when your whole point is the harmful effects of setting altering beauty standards, like permanent hair removal. I just think it's very self contradicting imo. No hate but love. Give opinions!
Also how she isn't aware of the fact to look away from the laser and protect your eyes!! smh
Extreme plastic surgery and hair removal are very different. Notice how in the beginning she said that cosmetic procedures can be empowering? Because they can be. Her video is about reducing the extremity when it comes to these procedures, not eliminating them entirely.
am I the only one who thinks plastic surgery looks scary 💀
So sad to see a hair remover advert within a video about accepting and loving your body without manipulators.
Nothing wrong with removing hair if that’s what you choose to do
The ad took up a third of the video😭😭
The thing I hate most about it is 1, they all lie about getting work done. There are people that believe them. 2, that everyone looks the same - it’s so depressing.
I’m THRILLED that I don’t look like everybody else - my unique features make me me and that’s why I love them.
Girl...thank you for being honest! As someone who struggles with her look, your videos helped me a lot. Plastic surgery is never the answer as I would never find true freedom of loving myself.
As a Korean American, I'd like to clarify that the primary motivation behind double eyelid surgery among Asians is often to conform to regional beauty standards rather than aspiring for a more Eurocentric appearance. It is misleading to suggest that the procedure is predominantly sought after to achieve a Western look. The majority of individuals undergoing double eyelid surgery aim to meet Asian beauty ideals rather than emulate a white aesthetic.
Circular argument. That ideal is inspired by western beauty standards.
@@cherin4722 check your superiority and go outside. there are plenty of asians that are born with double eyelids and it's so presumptuous to assume people of color yet again want to look/be white. we don't want to look like you
@@cherin4722 not really. double eyelids make the eyes look bigger and therefore more cute and innocent. trust, koreans don't wanna look like europeans/americans
@@cherin4722 Why would it be inspired by western beauty standards when about 50% of the east Asian population are born with natural double eyelids? Countries like Korea, China, Japan follow their own beauty standards, which is very different from western/Eurocentric beauty standards.
I’ve been hooked on the show “Botched” now that it’s on Netflix. Just kind of crazy to see what can go wrong with plastic surgery.
Thats when you go to the extreme lol. With proper planning and the right surgeon things wont go insanely wrong besides the few rare cases. People who get plastic surgery have no idea what they want or what is possible.
Its been around for soooo long. Im surprised ppl are now finding out about it
How do you stomachs it 🤢
My heart hurts for the young women and kids of today. I’m in my 40’s and we definitely had our own hang ups , but not to the point we wanted to change our whole faces! I can’t imagine having this kind of pressure as a child to change something I was born with to feel good about myself. My mother saved to have my hereditary bags removed under my eyes because I hated them… by the time I reached 18… I no longer cared what anyone thought and opted out.
I'm also in my 40s and can remember when the only acceptable body shape was ultra-thin and shapeless ('90s "heroin-chic", anyone?). I spent decades with an eating disorder as a result. It's not only the younger generation that is subject to awful beauty standards, although social media and the availability of plastic surgery has definitely made it a lot worse.
I’m only 22 and I still thank god I wasn’t like a young teenager when TikTok and all of these face-changing filters came out
@@emmamargxoit's crazy I can't even imagine that such a thing exists it's way more problematic then most even realize some people say it's harmless !!!!!!!! buts it just sets women up to not like themselves the way they are
that ad is peak irony on this vid
I’m glad people are finally talking about this! It’s out of hand on social media, and it’s very influential to young people
I am Pakistani and have a ethnic nose, I am slightly insecure but I am working on it. My nose is not to fit beauty standerds, its for me to breath, end of story
Screw the beauty standards. I just plastic surgery wont make it to Pakistan. Pakistanis are pretty. Colorism is a huge problem and then their would be a new addition: plastic surgery. Korean and western standards should remain out of Pakistan
ethnic noses are so beautiful!!! nothing makes me more sad than seeing a gorgeous, unique nose shaved down into a copy-and-paste Barbie nose
Wear your nose with pride, it is your heritage and makes you unique ❤
Listen, there is something so incredibly elegant about a confident woman with a nose that has a higher bridge, bump or more down turned tip. It’s like a classic car or something. So unique and classy.
And to smell 🌻
I can't get over how blithely people treat cosmetic SURGERY. It's not like buying a new lipstick or changing your hair color. I really have no words to express how sad I am about this.
I love how you do your makeup! Love brown eyeshadow and Ashe blonde hair together.
Thank you for posting such content! World deserves to know that!
Katie Piper has undergone over 40 operations to help fix the damage caused by the burning.She is a victim of an acid attack back in 2009 when Stefan Sylvestre threw acid at her after her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch arranged the attack.
At least Heidi Montag admitted to it all back then, I remember the media craze and the mob that went after her for getting it done. She wore it loud and proud and although the concept is sad I commend her for her honesty especially in the early 2010's. You could argue there's no way she would get away with pretending like she didn't so that's why, but the entire Kardashian family has been lying since the beginning, so there's that.
I think that's when my obsession about surgery began, im always like where did they buy their faces. Tom cruise had me gagged, his surgeries are amazing.
one minute ad read in a 9:30 min vid. over 10% of your video was the ad.
This video was so needed, thank you 🙏 one part I’m always curious about and I don’t hear discussed either is the financial implications of all this work. Plastic surgery don’t come cheap!! The huge amounts of debt many of these women must dig themselves into is staggering. Sure, some could afford it, and others would make it back by their increased influencer status, but surely not everyone? For reallllll… lol I get scared enough at the idea of being cut open, let along going bankrupt for it 😬
that little girl using descriptive words like ‘pretty’ and ‘beautiful’ for how she feels after her Botox is definitely something she has heard her mother say to her before!! She didn’t get the idea that she looks ‘better after botox’ out of thin air! So so sad.
Stephanie is getting more and more brutally honest about these things. I love it!!! Everyone just tip toes around to try not hurt anyone else’s feelings but the truth is we need more honesty like this.
Your makeup is really cute. Your natural nose shape is showing through and it’s cute! ❤
I've always hated my nose, but videos like this help me see its beauty and rethink getting a nosejob. Thank you, keep going.
I feel bad for the children born with the features their parents have surgically removed/changed.
Your videos have helped me so much. I remember I first came across you for your makeup artistry, and I thought you were just stunning. You made me feel ode confident about my nose which I always hated before, but seeing you as such a total babe with a stronger nose too - helped me not want to get surgery anymore! Sometimes I look up people with noses like me, and they just took away their attractiveness with their nose job. They genuinely looked better before . They’re still “pretty” after the surgery, but they don’t stand out as strikingly beautiful anymore :(
So basically thank you for your realness, and your videos you’re making such a positive impact on women, more than you probably realise ❤
my cousin recently got a nose job and I don't even recognize her. it's not about me, so I don't care about "not recognizing her", I care about the fact that she's literally MY AGE. for reference I just turned 16. her nose job was strictly because of aesthetics, not functionality. nobody should ever feel like they need to change or "fix" a part of themselves at such a young age. society NEEDS to change.
Great video Steph keep up the good work
Aaaaand this is why I hate plastic surgery so much. Thank you, Stephanie, for this video.
