Recently, there was a thing that drifted farther and farther on the crazy road -
facelift.
Take a look at these increasingly puzzling project terms:
Give the ear hyaluronic acid or bone filling, or cut off part of the calf muscle nerves.
It is to achieve the effect of "showing immortality and showing youth" and "becoming beautiful and thin" in publicity.
Actively destroying the natural body, at the expense of health, in exchange for so-called "beauty."
Piao said it directly – this, far from embodying the "mastery of physical freedom" that we advocate.
Instead, it went against the grain and went on the opposite side of the absurdity.
Below are two sets of surgical evaluations that look beautiful.
One, a comparison chart of surgery from a plastic surgeon.
Here's how she described it:
Immediately after the operation, it is slender and straight
Let you once and for all get rid of the problem of thick calves
Look at another surgical experience from a user of a book, calling it "the gospel of the girl with muscle legs."
This is calf nerve blockade, the scientific name is "tibia gastrocnemius muscle dissection".
The principle is to surgically cut off some of the nerve branches, causing the gastrocnemius muscle to atrophy.
Thus, the outer contour of the calf becomes flat, and the calf circumference is reduced to achieve the purpose of "thin legs".

In layman's terms, this is to remove some of the hamstrings.
It may seem terrifying, but in the mouths of some doctors, it is "highly sought after by Korean models and showbiz stars."
Propaganda says - safe and reliable, less traumatic, fast recovery, does not affect daily life.
It is an operation that beauty seekers can "easily accept".
Compared with the traditional skinny leg needle, there are only two differences -
Very precise, permanent skinny calves.
So, as long as you lie on the operating table for half an hour, painless and disaster-free, do as you go, you can have comic legs once and for all.
This effect, who is not impressed?
But if this is the case, why is it that the magic of beautiful legs, which is not a new technology, was eliminated by regular plastic surgeons a few years ago, and now it is revived?
There is a UP master @ Mai Dashi in Station B, who photographed a girl who had a calf nerve blockery in 19 years in order to re-establish her ability to walk.
The girl said that she got off the operating table, and the moment her feet landed, her knees were thrown back.
Even if you have the help of a doctor, you can only walk with your legs bent.
@McDash explains the reason through animation.
The blocked gastrocnemius muscle is the only nerve in the calf muscle that straddles the knee joint, and it bends the knee.
If the nerves are blocked and the ability to bend the knee is limited, there will be hyperextension when walking.

There is also a book user who proves this. The changes after the surgery are—
No strength Bending down is not ok Knee weakness
It's slow to walk like grandma
And the trainee interviewed by @Mai Dashi, after the operation, the harvest is not the happiness of "becoming beautiful".
It's regret.
Even ashamed to face others.
Because, she has lost the ability to walk normally.
Can't walk fast, walk unsteadily, and can't run.
The source of the image is | Station B @ Mai Da Wet, the same below
In the video, she only walked for three minutes, and she was so tired that she couldn't stand and needed to sit down and rest.
And how does she walk? Clamped thighs, the pelvis leaned forward pronouncedly.
It's not so much about walking, it's about moving.
Imhobit, people are not grass and trees.
A healthy natural person, from the moment of birth, enjoys and deserves to enjoy the freedom to walk, run, and jump.
In order to pursue beauty, it is reduced to a doll that can only move, and it is an initiative to give up freedom.
What's even more absurd is that it's not at all "once and for all" as some people advocate.
On the contrary, it will make people more unbeautiful.
Still a book, there is a girl @ Xu Yanyan also had the idea of doing the operation, and finally gave up.
What made her back off was not the price, not the time, but the encounter with a girl while she was waiting for a consultation.
Her calves were uneven and "the muscles were piece by piece" .
A question was done after the calf nerve blockade and came to the follow-up clinic.
It turns out that after surgery, accompanied by daily behaviors such as walking, compensatory hypertrophy of the muscles around the severed site will occur, resulting in unpredictable muscle morphological disorders.
The calves that are briefly thinned back will not only become thicker again, but may even deform, causing a series of sequelae such as varicose veins.

The severed nerve cannot be restored, and the only advice that the doctor can give you at this time is to adjust it with a thin leg injection and fall into a painful dead cycle.
In this regard, sports medicine expert Yang Tieyi directly defined it as a damaging operation, saying that its damage to the body is irreversible.

There are also "age reduction and small face" elf ear surgery, in fact, there are many risks.
Whatever its essence is—
Artificial pursuit of what we used to call "wind ear" (did not mean that the wind ear is bad).
It is very funny aesthetics that are swayed by public opinion.
Looking at its operation alone, it is mainly achieved in two ways.
One is to give hyaluronic acid to the ear, and the other is to take rib cartilage and put it on the ear.
Irregular procedures can lead to bleeding, infection, embolism and even blindness.

For the sake of "standard beauty" under uncertain public opinion, ignore the possible sequelae and disability risks, and cause irreversible harm.
It damages not only the body, but also the irreversible life.
Under the sun, there is nothing new.
Those shortcuts to beauty that damage health are like the ghosts of history.
They hide in corners, open their mouths, ready to fight back.
Not long ago, Zhang Meng appeared on the red carpet in a waist-cinching skirt.
Because "the size of the skirt is a little small, and the ribs are a little sore", she made an appointment for the orthopedic clinic number the next day.
In the caption, she laughs at herself:
Red carpet + waist skirt = orthopedics!?
My sister's figure is in exchange for life!
Image source| Weibo @ Zhang Meng
The waist skirt that turned Zhang Meng into a "water snake waist" was actually popular in various countries as early as several hundred years ago.
From Spain in the 16th century, to France, England, the United States...
The corset culture that arose from the top down of the aristocratic class has become a beautiful myth that women have flocked to for more than three hundred years.
Image source| "Gone with the Wind"
In the heyday of the Victorian era, corsets were extended below the waist, and whale bones were incorporated into steel bones, coupled with iron grommets, which were more intense than the previous corsets.
In order to obtain the "wasp waist", the noble girls began a long-term waist-tying activity from an early age.
They are still underdeveloped, wear corsets all day long, and can only be taken off when they sleep at night.
A specific term was born: Kersett education.
It was during this period that doctors and physiologists gradually raised objections.
We praise the distorted form, but... We go against the laws of nature; we make fashion our code of conduct and neglect the pursuit of higher truths.
They found that long-term waistbands squeezed bones and internal organs, displacing organs.
This can lead to complications such as headaches, urinary incontinence, bone deformation, and habitual miscarriage.
But despite the opposition of doctors, this boom has not subsided, and even further promoted the beauty of the delicate.
Pale skin, haggard face, confused eyes, cheeks flushed with low fever... It became a symbol of elegance and decency at the time.
Like "La Traviata", who vomited blood due to tuberculosis, "even her thinness has become a charm." ”
In order to cater to this pathological aesthetic, there began to be a large number of strange beauty methods.
Eye drops with belladonna syrup; arsenic cream applied externally or internally; whitened with lead or mercury; ammonia for washing the face...
Even if it accelerates skin deterioration, hallucinations, blindness and even death, people still pursue this deadly aristocratic style.

This is true in the West, and it is true in the East.
China is best known for its bad habits than to wrap your feet.
After beating Li, the lord went to Xuan Tongye, the guan changed the dynasty, and the woman wrapped her feet for a thousand years.
Therefore, Feng Jicai joked in "Three Inches of Golden Lotus": "People say that inside the little feet, there is a Chinese history." ”
Image source| "Golden Bottle Double Beauty"
With the help of external force, the three-inch golden lotus that originally broke the joint to the sole of the foot will cause irreversible foot deformity.
It makes it impossible for women to walk for long periods of time, to perform heavy labor, and to be forced into a sub-plaything of men.
The painful foot binding process is accompanied by a series of risks.
The slightest carelessness can lead to disability and even death.
But the beautiful whirlwind of "the king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are many starvations in the palace" has never stopped.
It's just that with the shift of the wind, the standard of beauty is constantly changing.
Laughing at the madness of the ancients, how much madness has been created now under the blessing of medical aesthetic technology——
Broken bones, increased skull top, ribs, bleaching of private parts and even excision...
These surgeries, which sound like dancing on the brink of danger, don't necessarily open the door to a good new life.
Rather, a nightmare that destroys your future dreams.
Even, the source of this nightmare may be just one, the technology is quite mature, it sounds safe, nose fine-tuning surgery.

To be honest, with people becoming more receptive, understanding and discussing plastic surgery.
Some of the most basic things to remember are not much mentioned.
For example – mindset.
In China, cosmetic surgery was strictly controlled, and surgical plastic surgery can only be performed for people with special needs (such as disfigurement, deformity, etc.).
In the 1960s, only some famous actors were approved by the Municipal Bureau of Culture to undergo surgeries such as double eyelids, eyelid bags, and wrinkle removal.
From the "plastic surgery" for special groups, to the "medical aesthetic plastic surgery" that has now expanded to the post-00s group.
How did it enter the homes of ordinary people and become a daily talking point?

In a book titled "It Looks Beautiful: The Plastic Beauty Market in China," author Wenhua found that domestic attention to plastic surgery began in 2003.
Setting off this trend is Hao Lulu, who is known as "China's first artificial beauty".
The source of the image | Sina.com
She was a participant in the "Beauty Manufacturing Project" event held by a plastic surgery hospital.
Under the hospital's sponsorship, Hao Lulu underwent dozens of plastic and cosmetic surgeries throughout her body.
A total of 400,000 yuan of surgical fees, all free of charge.
What Hao Lulu wants to accept is to become a living signboard for the hospital to publicize the effect of plastic surgery.
Her journey to beauty is recorded in detail in the mirror.
In just six months after the operation, "I received more than 300 Chinese media reports, was invited to commercial events by many beauty clinics and hospitals, and even got two film roles." ”
From the screen to the reality of the "Ugly Girl Metamorphosis", the plastic surgery hospital became famous in one fell swoop, and also made more plastic surgery hospitals smell business opportunities and launched their own ordinary plastic surgery ambassadors.
The following year, the Organizing Committee of the Miss Universe China Contest held the first World "Artificial Beauty" Competition.

Subsequently, local television stations have cooperated with plastic surgery hospitals to launch plastic surgery reality shows.
Image source| Cinderella and the Swan
In these shows, the audience sees the magical process of the ugly duckling transforming into a white swan.
Those ordinary girls who have been treated unfairly because of their ordinary appearance have become confident and beautiful princesses under the camera after months of transformation.
Sitting in a plastic surgery agency and flipping through fashion magazines, the models and celebrities with A4 waists and comic legs are no longer far away.
It was as if I could just lie down and wake up to see a miracle: Look, I can be as beautiful as she is.
In the relevant media reports, it is even more vigorously publicized how important it is for women to become beautiful.
Beauty is capital
Plastic surgery is an investment of the same nature as in college

People who are impressed by these fancy words and moving faces will easily ignore a sentence hidden in the report:
"The Consumer Association released figures last year that the plastic surgery industry has destroyed more than 200,000 faces in 10 years."
More than 200,000 destroyed faces were silently covered by the wave of consumerism.
Beauty becomes a symbol of desire.
People, become the commodity to be scrutinized.
Become beautiful, become a batch of building, one-click ordering pipeline.
Narrow, cramped, but difficult to get rid of.
Image source| "Hear Her Say"
When the ears and eyes are stuffed with too much information.
Physical anxiety and the desire to become beautiful are pulling and shouting, making people unconsciously fall into the trap of over-shaping.
Those free choices that you think are, perhaps, are just multiple-choice questions that have been pushed to you by big data and have been marked by merchants.
A few days ago, there was a hot search #cosmetic institution scam 12 people were detained#.
To the surprise of Piao, many of them were still students, and even a 50-year-old dishwashing aunt was also tricked into taking out a loan of 40,000 yuan.
How does this beauty and plastic surgery agency lure victims with free plastic surgery advertisements?
A video of a user's voice advocating a secret interview was released in the news.
As soon as it came up, it was directly characterized: "Now is the era of looking at the value of the face." ”
Then he threw out the point of view: "Good looks are indeed much better than those confiscated advantages." ”
Then convince people with "reason": interviews and boyfriends to fall in love should be beautiful.
After three words and two words, the little girl on the other side of the phone was put down, thinking that becoming beautiful can make people walk to the peak of life.

It should be noted that Flutter is not opposed to moderate plastic surgery for adults.
But what I want to emphasize is that when faced with some risky and irreversible surgeries, are you fully prepared and willing to bear the cost of failure?
And, when you walk into the operating room, do you have the idea of making yourself beautiful, or do you think that beauty can solve all the troubles of life once and for all?
"Talking to Strangers" once interviewed a beautiful woman Wu Xiaochen who spent 4 million yuan on plastic surgery, and won the support and recognition of most netizens.
Because she's brave enough.
I think it is worth the pain and risk, and I am not afraid to lose my life for this reason.
Also because she is frank enough.
Accept bluntly that you are constantly chasing beauty in life, and be happy because of it.

Ask yourself, how many girls can have the financial resources, energy and courage to support the price of beauty?
How many people, after reaching a satisfactory image, still have difficulty in reinventing themselves "freely" with the change of the tide?
Luo Xiang once reminded us to be vigilant, not to abuse freedom, and to be careful that freedom is used.
For unfettered freedom must lead to indulgence.
Significant physical freedom cannot be punished
Because if your body belongs to you completely
It will inevitably lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong
Who is the strongest?
For plastic surgeons, it is overwhelmingly guided by public opinion, and it is an entertainment and Internet celebrity industry ruled by the aesthetic of "white skinny and young".
It's a lightly fluttering forming leaflet that floats into your hand.
But it is also a huge, uncontrollable temptation.

We often hear now —
The old lady has money and wants you to manage it?!
But to be honest, the most important foundation for plastic surgery is not money, but self-balancing, acceptance, and restraint.
And those who have no self-judgment about beauty, follow the wind of the moment, and take their own knives.
Obviously, there is no such mentality.
When you keep up with the trend of the times again and again, transform yourself beyond recognition.
Maybe one day the wind will blow back.
And you can't go back.
