yes. the erasure of distinctive features in exchange for this weird, rounded off, overripe face that bears no resemblance to the old one is so depressing. i hate how injections can start off as "enhancement" of natural beauty, but then turn into a high maintenance self improvement project that goes on for years. a lot of naturally beautiful women have become so vigiliant about tweaking every little thing and small changes are just part of a normal biological process. I get that aging is difficult and ageism is rampant (ugh). I just wish there weren't  ten iterations of one person's face, esp when less attractive people would LOVE to have the original verison. : (

I know. There are some people where they have a nose job, they more or less look like themselves, just better and more photogenic. It can be a real self-esteem booster. I have no issue with this. I'm interested in breast implants myself. I'm thin and have some boob, but I wanna be buxom without padded bras! I don't think I'd look at my body and feel sad that I messed with what I was born with. I find body work different than facial work. I like looking in the mirror and recognizing myself, but I don't think I'd miss my modest chest, haha.  

It's just so sad when someone's blessed with natural beauty, and they take it for granted. If you have delicate features, do you really need super full lips? If your nose isn't like a dolly's but you're stunningly beautiful, is it worth the risk of ruining your precious face in an effort to achieve so-called perfection? If you have the finest of lines but still look super young, is it worth it to inject stuff into your face to get smoother skin but possibly end up less pretty?

There was this knockout gorgeous model who was in a Ricky Martin video many years ago. She had plastic surgery and looks like a very different person. Such a shame.
