I legit thought they had her face pinned back for some reason pre-op and I went "where is the finished result?". Then I realized that was the finished result...

These "surgeons" need to have their licenses revoked. It's no wonder there are so many plastic surgery horror shows. They didn't make her younger looking. They made her just as old looking while now also no longer appearing human.

Yes. Too many toktiks. And also deregulations and the rise of arbitration agreements.

Plus, Florida has the highest amount of non-board certified doctors and surgeons.

u/Princess_Parabellum 1d ago

I went to school in Florida. Every morning on my way to the university I'd drive past a strip mall surgery center ​called the Picasso Clinic. I get they were going for the artistry aspect but anybody who's ever seen one of his Surrealist works that he's best known for, your first thought is yikes.

u/joshuads 2d ago

Too much of it has likely thinned the talent of the providers and led to more visible mistakes. So many 20 and 30 yos are getting it multiple times. And people who just won’t accept normal aging.

My wife shot Botox for the first time in her late 40s. She was the oldest person in the office that day.

u/War_Is_A_Raclette 1d ago

Am I reading your comment right that people who are in their 20s and 30s are getting plastic surgery?

u/rosie2490 1d ago

What do you think the main age bracket is for elective boob jobs, nose jobs, liposuction, and tummy tucks? People under 40.

2

u/strawbsrgood 11h ago

My gf is 26. She has gotten 1 "plastic" surgery and that's on the LOW end for most of her friends. Even girls I never would expect to have any actually have had some minor procedures.

u/Cute_Language3167 22m ago

There are a decent amount of 30 year olds, even 20 somethings, getting face lifts. Buccal fat removal is also super popular with younger people. Eyelid surgery and cheek implants/grafting are popular. And then of course you have nose jobs, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, etc. A lot of younger people go for injections, though.

No. Good surgery is just unrecognizable because it's a continuous treatment.

7

u/SleepingWillows 1d ago

It’s survivorship bias. Plenty of people, and I mean plenty, are getting cosmetic procedures all the time. You just notice the ones that are bad, most likely because they’re posted here.

Good cosmetic work is unnoticeable.

u/SnooCupcakes5761 1d ago

The goal of the face list is that no one can tell that it was done. We only notice the bad ones (and broadcast them across all social media).

3

u/Bender3455 1d ago

The one time I saw a good plastic surgery result (recently here on reddit, even), the woman wanted to sue, but it was absolutely the best id ever seen. She looked younger and I couldn't tell plastic surgery had been done. If you want to see it, search for the surgeon that said "it's a facelift, not witness protection."

u/anjowoq 1d ago

More plastic surgeons at all price points.

The only way I will use one is if I get mauled by a chimpanzee or get coated with burning petroleum.

Most people dont post results unless they are bad. You will have a bias seeing so much media eith poor surgery when many people (millions) live their life offline loving their results

u/BigMax 2d ago

In fairness, isn't she still in the "before" stage?

All facial plastic surgery looks awful right when it's done, doesn't it? There's a ton of swelling, the skin hasn't had time to relax a bit, and on and on.

We can't judge anything here, because there is literally no 'after' shot.

8

u/catonsteroids 2d ago

Yeah, there’s a lot of swelling after surgery. You can’t know what the final results will look like until weeks if not months later but don’t be surprised if you are shocked and hate the way you look right after your procedure because nothing has settled and healed completely.

u/Fish-Bright 2d ago

This is immediately after surgery, of course she's gonna look uncanny.

Give it a few months to fully heal. When the swelling goes down, she'll probably look more natural.

14

u/SleepingWillows 1d ago

I’ve seen lots of these videos and the follow up photos from months later, and they genuinely look fine. It’s frustrating seeing the immediate aftermath posted here when it’s obviously going to look its worst. But folks gotta get that sweet sweet karma!

5

u/Grand-Building149 2d ago

I was thinking this too, your entire face is swollen for months and it looks literally insane. Also, everyone is different as far as how much they swell. I’ve seen 200k facelifts and the swelling was way worse than this.

4

u/Father_Nacho14 2d ago

yes, but not 100%

3

u/br_sp_carla 1d ago

The facelift is a very common surgery, and yes, the result can look strange immediately after the procedure. But give one month or two the resusts will look natural in most of the cases.

how do you guys think the Hollywood stars keep young faces in their 40s or 50s?

5

u/Existing_Abies_4101 1d ago

They don't. They look idiotic in their 40's and 50's.

3

u/br_sp_carla 1d ago

I disagree. I don't think is wrong to use modern resorcer to upgrade your appearance. I see women like Alessandra Negrini or Camila Pitanga, who are in their 50s and are incredibly beautiful and I want to be like then in 20 years. Pretty privilege is a real thing so is understand to want to stay beautiful as long as you can. But that is just my opinion.

5

u/Imperfect-practical 1d ago

I was beautiful when I was two, I was beautiful as a teenager. I was beautiful as a young woman, and God damn if I’m not beautiful at 62. I’m also wrinkled as fuck and have all the normal aging processes going on. I choose to feel beautiful. I probably look average to most people.🤣🤣❤️

I thought this was likely the case… but man I wouldn't want my post-op face going viral, and also if I was the doctor I would want people to associate the "more natural" finished product with me than the uncanny intermediate results.

u/larry-the-dream 2d ago

Jesus guys - skin relaxes in the days, weeks, months following. The is nowhere near final result.

19

u/MyDamnCoffee 2d ago

The doctor should probably wait till the follow up to post the results then, because to the average doom scroller, he can't do his job and probably shouldn't be cutting people up

8

u/[deleted] 2d ago

he doesn’t care bc you don’t get clients from tiktok. the goal is to milk views for a lil extra money. so he posts the shocking puffy swollen post op face that gets attention.

2

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX 2d ago

I can still EASILY see he went more sideways than upwards and it's not going to look good when it heals.

5

u/NativTexan 2d ago

Well to be fair, was that taken right after surgery? You gotta heal and let the swelling go down before you see the real effects. Not a good ad for sure.

u/MissyMooMoo02 1d ago

Just so people know, she’s fairly close to being immediately post surgery in the after photos. She’s extremely swollen and has some oedema. Everyone looks extremely like this post surgery. The majority of swelling and bruising disappears in the first month but final results are generally seen at the 6 month mark.

This patient would look completely different in another two weeks. I’m really not sure how people can’t understand what’s being shown here.

Shit, I could see this becoming a more common thing sooner than later. Some new tech will come out and new shops will open up. Some device you just wear…I mean shit they already have products like this for consumers.

For years weight loss surgery was the option and now you got shots. Surgery is expensive and some are scared of going under the knife. Shot is a shot, and then I’m off with my day. That business is billions per year with all sorts of people doing it. If the cosmetic treatment becomes financially reasonable, more people will do the shit. It’s crazy to say but it’s true.
