It's only harmless up to a point - filters and whatnot, that's whatever but injecting botulism into your lips is a bridge too far...and it's all because robber barons want to use our insecurities and poor self-image to separate us from our money

The superficial part of the society might consider those photos as real which will envy them and make them try to look the same a them which might cause illnesses.

Everybody out there looking like they have a whole alien living in their ass (BBL craze). It’s kind of strange to me. Two decades ago, cosmetic surgery was seemingly reserved for the rich. Now, everyone is filing their income taxes as early as possible so they can get that refund and go get their BBL in Tijuana on a payment plan. Forget about whether your kid can read or can do simple arithmetic. It’s more important to get those post surgery pics posted on the Insta.

It's pretty disturbing tbh.

Of course not harmless. I have so many issues stemming from the fact that I’m full of faults yet every other woman I see is flawless. As a teen, it made me feel like I could never be loved. I get so happy when from time to time I see a female model with a bit of sideburns (saw it on an Amazon product once) or arm hair, or a short neck, etc. you get the idea. Don’t get me started on “edited” big butts. My husband’s favorite and something I can’t realistically achieve while having a tiny waist. Makes you feel like shit, y’know?

I guess it depends on the person. Some people like a little surgery to fix something. And they feel better. But some it's a self-esteem problem. I say look like a hot mess atleast once.. let it all hang out😄

I prefer to think it's harmless, but it isn't.

I consider that editing can be a form of art, and even surgery to some extent. But when that's done in an industrial way, being so "widespread" and desired, in an effort to build unquestionable beauty standards, I don't think that's just art.

It's for a price hence it's something not easy.
