Why young women are having facelifts: 'I couldn't even open my eyes. That's how swollen I was'

The article discusses the trend of younger people, particularly women, seeking cosmetic plastic surgery in countries like Turkey and Mexico due to lower costs compared to Western countries. The procedures mentioned include facelifts, brow lifts, breast lifts, lip lifts, neck lifts, and chin implants.

Several individuals share their personal experiences with these surgeries:

* Amy Endean, a 34-year-old supported living facility manager from Worcestershire, underwent multiple surgeries after being in a car accident that left her with facial injuries. She had a deep plane facelift, brow lift, and chin implant to restore her face to its natural shape.
* Lucy Argent, a 40-year-old who had undergone reconstructive surgery at the age of 16, opted for a partial deep plane neck lift after being refused by her initial surgeon due to her young age. She has since remarried and started a family.

The article highlights concerns regarding the accessibility of these procedures, particularly for younger individuals. Some surgeons argue that operating on people in their 20s or early 30s for purely cosmetic reasons is not ethical. However, others believe that advances in plastic surgery have made these procedures life-changing for those who undergo them.

Overall, the trend of younger people seeking cosmetic surgery highlights the complexities surrounding beauty standards and the impact of societal pressure on individuals' self-perception.
 
You know what really gets me? Everyone's always saying how good they had it back in my day... but seriously, have you seen some of these young lasses getting all dolled up over there? I mean, a deep plane facelift at 34? That's just crazy talk! 🀯 What's next, a whole face lift to fit into that skinny jeans from high school? πŸ˜‚

And don't even get me started on the prices. Turkey and Mexico, eh? Sounds like some shady deal to me. I mean, what's wrong with our own healthcare system over here? Is it really that bad? πŸ€” I just think we need to take a step back and think about why all these young folks are doing this. Is it because they're unhappy with their bodies or is it because society's just too darn hard on 'em? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

And have you seen some of those before-and-after pics? They look like completely different people! I'm not saying it can't help or that people shouldn't be able to make choices about their own bodies... but let's not forget, this is a multi-million dollar industry we're talking about. There's gotta be more to it than just looking good, right? πŸ’Έ
 
It's no surprise that more young women are opting for invasive procedures like facelifts and brow lifts in countries with lower costs... πŸ€” I mean, who wouldn't want to restore their youthful appearance? The thing is, though, is that these surgeries aren't just about vanity – they're also a reflection of our society's beauty standards and the pressure we put on ourselves to conform. It's interesting how some surgeons are starting to speak out against performing cosmetic procedures on people in their 20s or early 30s... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
I'm so down with the fact that women are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to body image πŸ™Œ They're not waiting around for society to tell them they're not good enough, they're going out there and getting the surgeries that make them feel confident and beautiful πŸ’β€β™€οΈ I mean, if a deep plane facelift can literally change someone's life like Amy Endean's experience, then what's wrong with seeking those kinds of transformations? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Let's not judge people for wanting to improve their appearance, we should be supporting them in their journey to self-love πŸ’–
 
I just saw this article about ppl gettin major facelifts & other surgeries in countries with cheaper prices 🀯 like Turkey & Mexico. I'm not sure if its a good idea, cuz some docs say it's not right for people under 30 to do these ops just for looks πŸ˜•. But at the same time, I know how hard it can be to deal with scarring from accidents or stuff, and if these surgeries can help ppl feel better about themselves... maybe its worth considering? πŸ€”. Its like, whats beauty standard even mean anymore? Is it just skin deep or is there more to it? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
πŸ€” I'm seeing a lot of young women taking a risk by going abroad for cosmetic surgery πŸ₯πŸ’…, and it's like they're trying to escape their own expectations πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. But is it really that drastic? Like, are we putting our worth in someone else's hands? And what about the long-term effects of these surgeries? πŸ’‰ I'm all for self-expression and feeling confident in your own skin 🌸, but let's not forget that there's a whole world of beauty beyond just physical appearance 😊.
 
I mean, its pretty wild that some ppl are actually gettin a facelifts n all that jazz at like 20 or 30 lol 🀣. I can kinda see why ppl would wanna do it tho, especially if they've been through trauma like Amy did. But at the same time, I gotta wonder if its really worth puttin that kind of money into when there are more pressing issues to tackle? I mean, we should be focusin on gettin those who need it most treated first, ya know?
 
i think its kinda messed up that people are getting facelifts at 20 or something... like, isn't that just a cry for attention from society? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ and also i feel like these surgeries should be more regulated so we can stop enabling this whole culture of feeling 'incomplete' if you don't look a certain way. it's not about the money tho - ppl are literally risking their health for a facelift in mexico πŸ’ΈπŸ˜¬, that's what's wild...
 
I'm not surprised to see more young women flocking to places like Turkey and Mexico for plastic surgeries πŸ€”. The prices are definitely lower compared to Western countries, but at what cost? I mean, some of these procedures can be pretty invasive and have serious risks involved... Amy's story is a good example - her accidents could've left her with more than just a bad face πŸ€•.

I get why some people might see it as an ethical issue when surgeons are operating on young people for purely cosmetic reasons. I mean, shouldn't they be focused on fixing life-altering injuries rather than trying to "fix" their appearance? πŸ’… On the other hand, if someone's willing to take that risk and it's changing their life in a positive way... maybe that's something we should be celebrating too?

It's just weird how societal pressure can make us feel like we need these procedures to be happy πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Can't we just focus on being healthy and confident without altering our bodies? πŸ’–
 
πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I mean, what's not to love about paying thousands for a face lift that'll just sag again 5 years later? πŸ€‘ It's like throwing money at a problem, but hey, if it makes you feel good and confident, who am I to judge? 😐 But seriously though, have we lost all sense of self-worth beyond our physical appearance? Like, what's next? Paying someone to love us too? πŸ’•
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. I mean, I get it, everyone wants to look their best and feel confident in their own skin, but when does it become about changing who you are? These girls at 20+ years old thinking they need a facelift or breast implants just 'cause life's been hard on them? It's like, hello, it's okay to be a little rough around the edges. Are we really that obsessed with being flawless that we're willing to shell out thousands for some doc to make us look more presentable?

And don't even get me started on the young ones who just want to look 'good enough' for a partner or social media likes πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. I mean, what's the point of it all? Are we really living in a world where being beautiful is the ultimate goal? I'm still trying to figure out why some people feel the need to change their bodies like that...
 
I'm still thinking about all my aunties who went to Thailand for Botox injections back in 2010... they'd always go for a quick fix before their holidays and then be looking like a brand new person for Christmas πŸŽ…οΈπŸ’β€β™€οΈ. Now, it's younger people going under the knife in Turkey or Mexico because it's cheaper πŸ’Έ. I mean, I get why they'd want to look young and fresh, but is it really worth sacrificing your life savings? πŸ€” My cousin did that lip lift thingy and she was still complaining about the numbness on her lips after 6 months... and the recovery time wasn't that short either 😩. Some people say it's not ethical for surgeons to do these procedures on younger folks, but at least they're giving people a second chance with their lives πŸ’–. It's just crazy how beauty standards have changed so much since I was in college... now it seems like everyone's trying to freeze themselves in time πŸ˜‚.
 
omg u no the thing w/ ppl gettin facelifts & brow lifts in turkey & mexico? like they r super cheap compared 2 western countries 🀯 i think its kinda crazy that ppl are goin thru these surgeries just 4 a flatter face lol but at the same time, if som1 gets hurt bad enuf 2 need surgery then wut's wrong w/ gettin fixed up? amy & lucy seem like total inspirations tho, especially amy who went thru so much in her car accident πŸš—πŸ’₯ i feel 4 her & stuff. anywayz, its def got ppl talkin' bout beauty standards & how they affect us 😊
