Nothing about this is "bold" (the original word used to describe this path before translation in the description was "brave")
If this surgery was done due to health reasons it would be something completely different but aesthetic surgeries to better fit into society's beauty standards is rather the opposite of brave.
Because I understand the pressure of a woman's performance and the expectations that rest upon her shoulders I want to clarify that I don't support insults towards them or any harassment of that sort. I merely criticize the advertising of surgeries in this way and labeling them as brave.
Brave would be to go the longer path and learn to accept your body. To take a neutral stance on it. But the unrealistic expectations many people have towards aesthetic surgeries are unrealistic and often don't solve their problems at all, they actually create new ones and once you've crossed that line you won't be so hesitant to do it again.
Your beauty surgeon does not care about you personally. They make good money with those procedures. They might tell you what else could be done, after getting that surgery you always hoped would "magically make your problems go away" don't actually resolve your issues with self acceptance and body insecurities and you might watch yourself in the mirror again, thinking that "but what if I got another surgery like this... then I would be much happier" or "if I got another surgery like that my overall body would look much more aligned with it's features".
For example: I understand getting a breast reduction due to back problems, getting a labia reduction due to your inner vulva lips being too large and hurting when walking, things like this, health reasons.
But this woman is getting a labia reduction due to seeing it in porn or being exposed to a partner criticizing them for it because they consume porn content that is not realistic and does often show surgically altered labias and vulvas. This woman is getting a lipo suction and a breast lifting with silicone enlargement due to wanting to fit the beauty standards.
Do you know those beautiful greek shaped noses? Every time I see someone getting those beautiful, unique noses reshaped my heart hurts.
Imagine someday having a daughter that comes up to, her nose looking like yours once looked like, you asking: Mommy, why I have such a differently shaped nose than you? " and you have to try explaining to her how and why you found your nose so ugly when you were 19, that the first thing you did when you had earned enough money from your part time jobs was getting your nose done into what was" trendy" at the time. Imagine her looking up to you asking if you think that her nose looks ugly and you have to explain that to her.
