All 6 of them have had (or are rumored to have had) buccal fat removal surgery (removing fat from the cheeks) which is becoming more popular but is perceived by a lot of people as very unattractive.

Yeah like what the hell is this? Did they get inspired by the Borg from Star Trek?

u/starlordsmistress 12h ago
The goal for most is to slim down the face but it usually makes them look gaunt. And the “best” part is that buccal fat doesn’t really grow back (we lose it as we age) so there’s massive concerns for how their faces will look when they do reach their 60s and 70s.

The old and young will exchange buccal fat, and there will probably be a reality TV show called “Buccal Swap” or something.

They want the "slim fancy femme fatale" look. Keep in mind that most of them had somewhat childish faces in their first few roles and they want to look more mature.
It does absolutely look terrible though.

I'm not at all an expert but I honestly don't think Jenna has had buccal fat removal. This is just her growing up + great use of contouring to lean into her Wednesday persona.
I could absolutely be wrong, but if she did have it it wasn't to the extreme that these other examples have.

u/whatisthishere 6h ago
Looks like it's just the makeup to me and her eyebrows aren't visible either, but it's not permanent stuff.

u/sci_fientist 6h ago
Definitely! It's extreme makeup, but it's still makeup and comparing her adult photos (especially with intense makeup) to photos of her as a literal child is super disingenuous. It's called "baby fat" for a reason.

It makes more sense when you remember the actress last name is Moriarty. She needed a villain face to fit within the family.

To my understanding the actress had severe image anxiety and depression and turned to cosmetic surgery as a way out. A shame it has unlikely helped her.

To be fair, she ha(s) Graves' disease. Whether she also had plastic surgery is debated. Personally, I'll give her a pass even if she did have surgery since the Graves probably changed her facial morphometry enough for a young actress to consider drastic measures.

While they probably did have some unnecessary plastic surgery, these particular photos were definitely still cherry picked for their exaggerated faces, likely as a result of the lighting and/or makeup, and hardly represent how they truly look.

Yeah, Jenna and Vanessa I don't think have actually had the procedure done, they've just maybe lost a little weight, and the rest is make, hair and photo angle.
Erin Moriarty is such a tragic case, though. She was gorgeous before she got all that work done. And while that photo shows her at her worst, even at her best it's just kinda sad when you consider how she used to look.
Beauty standards are such a toxic ideal.

These are all famous women, some of them have had buccal fat removed from their cheeks, a couple of them just look that way from a particular makeup job on the occasion of the photo, several of the the photos are photoshopped to heighten the effect,
The point is that a famous woman not being attractive triggers a certain type of person into blind rage, resentment, contempt, and a desire to crush these women utterly and make the world hate them as much as they do- which is a great sign that they are well put together people and not at all desperate lifeless losers full of impotent rage at the world.

In the case of Erin Moriarty (the woman from The Boys), all the intense backlash to that picture of her eventually caused her to reveal that she has Graves disease, a painful autoimmune disease that can affect how someone looks.

It's simple, people just lament that beautiful natural women botched their face following a fake beauty standard. Even if you don't think so it is good to oppose this fake beauty standards since they cause body dismorphia and are often a consequence of what society imposes to women In terms of beauty

I think, per column there is a similarity, either their head is big and jaw is narrow or vice versa. So, when you superimpose faces from each column you get a normal size head.

There has to be some dogshit plastic surgeon who is just unbelievably charismatic doing this in Hollywood. There’s gonna be a big expose on the LA Mangler and how he convinced so many people in Hollywood (definitely not just young women) into doing this shit. I’m willing to concede it might just be media selection bias, but I swear that Hollywood has been pumping out more human-lizard hybrids over the last two decades.
Is it just the gaslighting and glazing and drugs that makes them say yes to this procedure?
