There's a woman called Lorry Hill who runs a YouTube channel explaining the surgeries she thinks various celebrities have had done. It's pretty interesting. I think it's much more common in Hollywood and the music industry than people think.

I used to think plastic surgery was just nose jobs and face lifts, but there's a ton of things you can have done. You get people having jaw implants, eyebrow lifts, eyelid surgery and all sorts.

She should do more vids on male celebrities, imo. A ton of them clearly have work done, get hair transplants, take drugs to stop hair loss and whatnot, but it doesn't get talked about to anywhere near the same degree as it does with women.

It'd be fascinating to see what they'd look like if you stripped away all the enhancements they'd paid for. What they'd look like without the money.

I'd feel like I was being dishonest getting plastic surgery... Or that I'd feel alienated from my own face.

But maybe I should get it, a complete overhaul - so I look like George Clooney after a car crash.

I wouldn't mind having more normal teeth, but I wouldn't want those bright white plastic teeth Americans have

the other day some french celebrity twin brothers (the bogdanoff brothers) passed away and i was reading about their lives cos i had never heard about them and one of the reasons they were famous is cos of the massive amount of plastic surgery they had done even though they always denied having had any surgery. what made me feel weird is that plastic surgery is to me something very modern but ironically their faces got to resemble that of neanderthalers.

It hinges on whether you view this stuff as a mask or self-realisation, I suppose. Are you disguising your "true" face or bringing it out? That or is just a case of changing things you don't like and neither position really enters into it? I had braces as a kid and I don't feel I'm being dishonest by having straighter teeth.

That's becoming more and more common over here. A lot of TV personalities have them. I've also noticed more and more adverts for Invisalign and similar services.

And no one bats an eyelid if you get your cleft lip sorted. Depends where you draw the line etc

There's the fame factor too. If you know you're in the public eye then you're inevitably going to become much more conscious of your appearance.

And obviously people feel squeamish about eg Semitic noses being cut down to fit western standards and all that carry on

It can look better, but it often looks unreal. It isn't "nice hair", it's "nice hair transplant".
