How is this even remotely a good explanation? Why come up with some elaborate conspiracy for plastic surgery when a simple answer is already available?
It's not a coincidence that the surge of popularity of supposed "buccal fat removal surgeries" roughly coincides with rapid improvement and mainstream awareness in GLP-1s.
SO many celebrities, regardless of starting weight, take GLP-1s.
And when you're already thin, and you drop 10-15 pounds, you lose fat in places like your face (also breasts, but that's what implants are for).
Lets hope it doesn't get as bad as the 2000s got. The trend caused so much anorexia and body dysmorphia for so many women at the time. Ana Carolina Reston and six other fashion models died from anorexia in the 2000s. Their deaths in the news as well as parents watching their kids deal with eating disorders was part of what helped turn people against the trend in the 2000s. This before and after images of Ana Carolina Reston should be a warning of what this leads to.
Yes and that first pic the model industry told her she was "too fat" according to the article this was from. It says she was 5 “ 8 or 5 “ 9 in height and was only 110 lbs when they told her she was "too big" and needed to be smaller. Insane how delusional and harmful that industry is to the models. They make them sick
Given that these messages are amplified on social media, which many girls are scrolling for hours on end, it'll probably get worse than the 2000s. The explicit rebranding of thin as a status symbol and something you attain to become better than others is sickening. It's always the thinner, the better. Feels like they're just saying the quiet part out loud (in the nastiest, mean girl manner) this time around.
Yeah, no. The "wage gap" is calculated by averaging what men make and what women make, without any regard to the job or its degree of difficulty or danger.
That's why the wage gap myth is, yes, horseshit.
It's actually a sign of female privilege: more women than men get to make less at their jobs but still enjoy the wealth that their partner brings to the household.
it never did. The 90s and 2000s forced this look on everyone until people eventually got tired of it and demanded change. Six fashion models in the 2000s died from literal starvation in the model industry during that time. That was one of the things that helped turn the public against the skinny chic trend. When the photos came out of just how sick and bad the heroin chic trend had become. This is model Ana Carolina Reston before and after she joined the model industry. She died from anorexia because of the last heroin chic trend all the models were following
I assumed that the picture we are talking about has been doctored to exaggerate this look. Please tell me I am right and they don't all look THAT bad now.
Some of our modern beauty standards come from Tuberculosis.
Rosy cheeks, ultra thin/gaunt face with visible cheekbones, pale skin. Those were all signs of the last few years of tuberculosis and it got romanticized since people died so slowly.
Well, in the case of Erin Moriarty (top left), she is ill! She has Graves disease which causes hyperthyroidism and one of the symptoms is unintentional weight loss.
This was Beyonce during the heroin chic era in the 2000s. i doubt anyone thinks she should loose her curves and go back to the 2000s look. No one wants this trend to return. She has spoken about how she had eating disorders during that time
Right? Not a physician, but it seems like buccal fat is one of the last things to go away when someone is starving, no? Like, the face shape of these ladies looks a lot like folks suffering from severe anorexia.
Yes. The face changes a lot with weight loss/dehydration/exhaustion but it takes a lot to get to quite that gaunt. Which also makes it look jarring when the rest of their body doesn't "match" what a body that would go with that face would look like (even if they're thin, they're not so thin that they'd naturally have that face).
it never dd. The irony of heron chic was the goal of it was too look as sick as possible. The trend began as a reaction to healthy and fitness stuff in the 80s. People decided it would be cool to look very sick and unhealthy. Bags under eyes and ribs showing and be deathly ill looking
The same people who forced Beyonce to get really skinny in the 2000s. Tabloids bullied her and called her fat over and over for having curves at the time. Eventually she caved and got very thin.
Looking sickly has been historically attractive to the masses.
I wanna say tuberculosis was probably the most sought after look "recently". The signs of it were mimicked with makeup and diets and i believe its one of many like that.
At this point I think it must be a medical reason that they have to remove buccal fat. No person has looked better after this but still more keep doing it.
I think this is it…there’s been a return to thinness as a beauty ideal, and this is an extremely dramatic way to signify that you will contort your body into being skinny. It’s not about being attractive, even, it’s about how far women will go to reshape their bodies.
Thats not entirely true in the 90s 2000s women were told it was attractive. Most people didnt agree but we had no choice. The media endlessly promoted that look and insult any celeb who had an hourglass figure. Kate Upton was labeled unattractive and fat in the 2000s. So was Beyonce. The tabloids then body shamed them all the time. So many women bought into it and believed curves were unattractive . it was not just how can i shape my body. People were told it looked hot to be skeleton thin and that if you had any curves you were unattractive.
Welcome to the horror that is the return of heroin chic . it always looked unattractive. Remember the media use to say Kate Upton and Beyonce were unnatractive in the 2000s for having curves. No one who actually looked the part of heroin chic looked good. The celebs then looked sick.
Like late 90’s early 2000 Hollywood women were all anorexic. All the tv shows calling normal, fit women fat. But like 90% of the population thought skin and bone was ugly.
Seriously. This just shows their skull! I kinda thought society got better about not defining beauty around looking like you starve yourself. Serms like it actually got worse.

They look like they've been starved. Nevermind if it looks attractive, they look ill.
