South Korea is the real dystopia.

      I wouldn’t be that absolutist about it. Plastic surgery can be really helpful to people who have physical deformities or have suffered traumatic injuries, people who have successfully lost a lot of weight, and of course trans people.

      People using plastic surgeons as a means to achieve some ideal western form is mostly a byproduct of neoliberalism.

        Right, it's mostly the commodification and hypercompetive system in which it has become a standard practise, that makes it toxic.

        *work normally. Yes, we're past the era of pampered housewives. Now they must toil like the rest.

      Plastic surgeons really do seem to be striving for one particular idea of the ideal woman's face, at least from what I see on TV done to various Real Housewives across this nation.
