I find it interesting that plastic surgery is believed to be solely based in insecurity. What about trans people using plastic surgery to pass? What about people who use it as a form of body modification? If I get a tattoo or dye my hair does that mean I'm dissatisfied w/ my body? Hell, what about plastic surgery for medical reasons?
Also just because you struggle with something doesnt mean you cant condemn it. Saying people shouldn't is an appeal to hypocrisy.
the difference between a cosmetic surgery and body modifications (lets say piercings and tattoos) is that you can actually reverse body modifications, and it most of the times wont have much of a problem, meanwhile cosmetic surgery will stay there
n plastic surgery for medical reasons, as i stated before, is different to cosmetic surgeries
Cant plastic surgery be reversed or modified in certain situations? Also some body mods are irreversible, like certain tattoos and things
Also you didnt address my main point, which is that not all plastic surgery- reversible or not- is rooted in insecurity. Is the living barbie doll girl living a life of pain? No. It seems positive to me.
Idk your view is kinda all or nothing to me. Like if a fat positivity person lost weight and still preached body positivity afterwards, would that make them a hypocrite?
modified, yes, but not completely reversed. ppl who get extreme surgeries will look like potatoes forever
