What is wrong with that? Does that have to be inherently negative? Can you like a certain aesthetic or ideal in a way that celebrates yourself? Plus were all influenced by our surroundings anyway, like why is it that art influenced by trends is ok but when it's a person's body, we have to tell them how much they'll regret it?
Tbh you sound judgmental. I mean bdd and low self esteem is one thing but I think you're mistaken in thinking that is universal to plastic surgery customers.
if youre changing how you look because you open instagram and see "ideal bodies" and believe that thats how you should look like, then yes, its negtive as fuck
im not saying that you will automatically regret getting a plastic surgery, but still you should not preach about loving your body if you in fact hate your body n would 100% change it if possible
i dont care if i sound judgmental. im 2 tired seeing pictures of ideal bodies n ppl believing that its totally healthy 2 change your body just bc you dont look a certain way
I agree that the idea of an "ideal body" is a wrong one, and that plastic surgery to reach that goal probably wont end up positively, but I dont think plastic surgery itself is the problem. That would be beauty standards.
I disagree with your last point though. You cant be insecure yet try to work on it? I preach loving yourself despite my very low self esteem, am I now a hypocrite? I know my attitude sux, I dont want ppl to emulate it, and I preach self love cuz I'm trying to achieve that, but I'm a fucking human and self esteem takes time to build.
plastic surgeries, talking about cosmetic ones, r one of the consequences of beauty standards, so ppl who preach about body positivity, that is supposedly abt not caring about beauty standards because they're obv wrong and "everyone is beautiful", but then get plastic surgeries, that are also inspired by beauty standards, are being hypocritical (it's so hard 2 explain it in English lol but I think u get me)
