What is the attitude towards plastic surgery in your country?

[Fontaine]

In most of Western Europe (I know well enough Germany, France and the UK) plastic surgery has a bad stigma about it.

What is a bad stigma?

- Newspapers always write negative articles, focusing on cases of extreme surgery addiction/dysmorphobia while ignoring the other 99.9% of cases 

- Mental health professionals and family doctors are generally opposed to it (I was personally gaslighted by several "mental health nurses" into abandoning my project to undergo PS) 

- When interviewed by newspapers or TV, plastic surgeons are on the defensive, usually claiming that they do mostly reconstructive surgery

- Public opinion is negative, tends to oscillate between hostility, envy and FUD

- It is not funded by health insurance

- Religious authorities tend to be opposed to it, talking about how it is "vain", and almost promising you eternal damnation 

What about your country?

It gets frowned down upon here in Australia. There's has also always been the tall poppy syndrome going around Australia; where do you something good and you get howled by even your family members, by doing something good. Perhaps, I grew up in more of a negative environment than a good environment...

Has a bad stigma in America. Like theres been a few ugly kids who got plastic surgery for free on youtube because it was covered in their medical plan and all the comments are "OMG you were beautiful before why would you get plastic surgery!?" Yeah, sure, thats why they were bullied for being ugly rigth? or "You shouldnt have gotten plastic surgery, god made you the way you are, you should be proud of how you look" Yeah, i should be proud of how i look when people treat me as a subhuman for the way i look, makes perfect sense. Also the classic "Everyone is beautiful the way they are" Yeah sure, thats why ugly people are bullied and told they are subhuman and are discriminated against. And finally "im ugly and didnt get plastic surgery, you shouldnt either, tough it out" Translation: Im jealous of you getting free plastic surgery because im ugly and couldnt".

Notice how all the comments are from fucking females.

This country is all about looks, but the minute someone gets plastic surgery, everyone is against it and all of a sudden looks dont matter and everyone is beautiful, lmao.

A few girls from my class got boob jobs, didnt seem to harm their rep. Don't know if any of the men had anything done

"You shouldn't treat your childhood leukemia bro, God made you the way you are"

 

[RREEEEEEEEE]

Neutral to bad, I believe. Although not many people get it, some get it because of medical reasons.

Dont worry, they'll just make excuses as to why they are two different scenarios. Born with an obvious visible deformity and everyone will support you to get it fixed, born without any severe deformity but ugly because you have bad facial features or facial structure and its, "OMG, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, THATS HOW GOD MADE YOU."

These people are sick, delusional, idiotic hypocrites.

I am really scrambling for an explanation. A cynical one would be that they simply dislike an additional layer of competition in their own struggle for status and reproduction.

The attitude in regards to males getting plastic surgery isn't exclusive, it's fucking universal: Everyone will LAUGH at an ugly male who gets surgery, and if you're exposed for having jaw surgery or something like leg lengthening you will be ridiculed for the entire century

 

[Fontaine]

Is there any country with a positive attitude towards PS?

I've heard Brazil

South Korea also

Would you rather live in a country that views it negatively or would you rather live in a country that views it positively and encourages thereby raising the expectations of a male's looks like in SK?

Positively. That way you wouldn't have to deal with the tall poppy syndrome that someone mentioned earlier

If i had the cash I'd be getting in on that non surgical shit out the ass

give me a chad jaw and a chad nose and we're already in business set course for femboy island

I think the problem is that if you live in somewhere like south korea as an ugly and cant afford it you'll be looked down upon even more than a country that views it negatively. Lookism is extreme over there.

A country that views PS positively.

Psychologically it is already hard to be ugly, but it is unbearable to be patronized and gaslighted into thinking you are mentally ill when you want to do something about it.

Ignore the dumb haters and scammer mental health professionals and get plastic surgery anyway OP, the same dumbfucks will treat you much better.

Yes I agree. But I am afraid of the failure risk.

Finding a good surgeon without much in the way of information is also very complicated... There are no Amazon reviews for surgeons.

A good rule of thumb is to go for the specialists and the older ones, but this is no guarantee

I apologise. I can only speak for 'straya,  and the tall poppy syndrome here is ruthless

Why don't you go there for fillers or non surgical procedures which are removable first then if you get good results go for permanent surgical options.
