buccal fat this, buccal fat that
this is what a Beautiful Lady DollTM c. 1880 looked like, from the regions where this ridiculous surgery is now becoming popular (namely, Europe/the U.S.):
(fashion doll by the Gesland firm, c. 1880, from my personal collection. I call her Marinette)
forget buccal fat removal; she’s a poster child for buccal fat augmentation. and a solid 99% of them are like that: moon-faced with little double-chins. this is the IDEAL, remember. this is basically their Barbie
it’s not that body shaming didn’t exist back then, mind; advertisements make it painfully clear. my point is more that beauty standards are a moving target. and on a more immediate level, to show women with similar faces that. somewhere in time, the majority of people in their culture considered plump cheeks the epitome of beauty

I think buccal fat removal in a young person is a great way to create a returning customer. It’s like adding planned obsolescence into a face. Without the support of this fat, your face and jowls will sag and your face will (according to your plastic surgeon and your insta friends and your shitty woman hating boyfriend) NEED more surgeries.
Making an adjustment to someone’s face (for money) that will all but guarantee this person’s cascading self-esteem and “need” for more plastic surgeries (for money) is just doctors being hip to capitalism.
Elective plastic surgery will always be a tool of capitalism, because the most resellable commodity is always your dream self. They create more false standards of femininity, they charge you to meet them, then they change them, then they charge you to meet them again.
But don’t worry! Capitalism also teaches Market Segmentation. You know, how they figured out that aggressively gendering toys and selling separate fantasies to male and female children resulted in greater revenue?
Huh, I wonder how you create market segmentation when it comes to profiting off of bodies? Oh of course, you create new identities with new surgeries and new clothes and new makeup looks and new hair products and pins, and suddenly you have a whole new market.
You know ow what private medical practice is like, right? You have to drum up patients somehow! You can see them on TikTok, telling us which celebrities would look “better” with which products, telling us which random person in a video would look “better” with thousands of dollars worth of medical treatment.
And people die!! Under the knife or from infections, these are REAL surgeries. Can you imagine wiping out the rest of your life because some man said you had chubby cheeks? Because somebody told you your breasts were wrong? Because your thighs committed the sin of touching? You really want to meet your ancestors because the vibes were off on your boobs???
None of us are immune to propaganda. But we can try our hardest not to constantly consume it!! Find women you know and look for their histories in their faces. Romanticize everything that makes you unique. REJECT THE NOTION THAT FACES AND BODIES CAN GO OUT OF FASHION. That is just some male garbage made up to steal our fucking money, time, and energy.
Plastic surgery is about fear of life and of ourselves.

Anyways if this is what happens when you get your appendix removed, I think the surgeons in Monaco are going to be booked and busy for the next few weeks

Buccal Fat T-Shirt
Honestly fuck Tiktok for giving people another thing to hate about their bodies. I happen to like my round face, thank you very much! (And yes, this is a parody of the Baby Phat brand that was trendy in the early 2000s.)
