I don’t know. More black people getting surgery than you probably think. Grown women. My cousin in law was as average as it gets. Military husband working for the state department in MD, twins graduating from college, and 2 young children. Got a mommy make over and died of a pulmonary embolism before coming home. A beautiful woman in her upper 30’s. In my opinion didn’t need it. I’m ordinary as hell. My wife, a beautiful lady, thought she needed a breast lift at 37. I told her I love her stretch marks and breast that hang. She didn’t need to change a thing. She wasn’t hearing me though and at the time we were 6 years and a child in. Had her cousin not died, she probably would have had a breast lift and tummy tuck (at the time she was a size 4-6). I’m thankful she changed her mind,Sad. It looks like she’s been getting surgery/work done on her face and body even before this procedure though… I’ve never gotten cosmetic surgery and I don’t know anyone who has. I feel like the cosmetic surgery craze (particularly bbl, face work and other body enhancing procedures) is really only being seen in a certain population of women. Mostly those married/dating men in the entertainment industry, and the women that are part of that industry (strippers, actresses, dancers, music artists, sex workers, etc.) social media models/influencers, socialites and those who want to be.
It’s an industry where you’re judged and rewarded for your physical presentation/appearance. and the people they hang out with, compete with, and get compared to are in the same industry so a lot of them are getting work done to compete and keep up. This probably wasn’t a big deal to her because she knew others in her circle who did this procedure too. It’s a very shallow, soul destroying industry.
Unfortunately, while I think the excessive surgery is the result of her not loving herself, i think it was compounded by her being so immersed in the lifestyle above. she was never going to be okay with herself if she didn’t keep looking the part.
But I don’t believe the average woman is getting work done on the same level as the population above. Everyday when I go out, i see too many regular looking women to believe otherwise. I do think young women who are frequently on social media feel more pressure to look a certain way but even so they’re not getting surgery. I’m seeing them use make up, angles, filters, certain clothes, going to the gym, and just dealing with their insecurities the best they can.
Anesthesiologist are the highest paid doctors for a reason. Ever time you’re sedated you’re taking a risk. I’m not letting anyone put me to sleep unless it’s absolutely necessary.
He let me hop up on this tall ass chair and watch the whole thing go down. The first nigh was scary ass shyt. She got cold and was shivering. But it all turned out great
after she healed. But these Drs have it sowed up on that bbl shyt. They have blocks and blocks of houses just for after care for the girls. It was a non stop rotation of girls coming and going.
