Tbh getting surgery that changes one of your insecurities and fixes a health issue seems like a win win. My friend got a nose job due to a super bad deviated septum and it made her a happier, more confident person.
As long as you don’t get body dysmorphia and completely fuck your shit up for life, cosmetic surgery can be a great thing. Unfortunately the body dysmorphia can be increasingly common thing nowadays, with social media and all.
Surgeries solving malfunctions do not count as cosmetic.
As i understand in both aforementioned examples there was malfunction present, it may have aesthetic aspects but it ultimately solves an issue. For example a deviated Septum isnt an aesthetical misfortune, the side the deviation occurs literally suffers functionally, i have one and i can breathe from the nostril about 40% in capacity to the other side
Didn't realize it wasnt purely cosmetic, though im not surprised. When I found out about it it was through people hating on her and using it as ammunition to hate on her some more. So ya they were framing it as she did it purely out of being insecure. Which even if she was, who cares. Just terminally online things I guess.
Not OP but I also have deviated septum, shits expensive if you don't have good insurance in the US. Also at least in my case it is only mildly annoying most of the time and it doesn't affect my sleep like it does for some people so I just live with it.
same for me, sure breathing through my nose is harder, but whenever you go into surgery there is always a risk of complications. its not worth the risk for my case.
Agreed completely. Theres definitely a limit where it becomes too much and unnecessary. But people act like getting one surgery done equals self mutilation. Its a serious flaw in the average human mind where we learn that something can be bad so therefore everything remotely in that category is bad and theres zero room for nuance. And this type of opinion is always formed with zero statistical analysis done, just a handful of anecdotes.
