Is Plastic Surgery Worth the Risk?
The decision to undergo plastic surgery is an intensely personal one, and it’s important to weigh the risks and rewards before making a final decision. Though plastic surgery itself is considered a safe procedure, there are risks involved that you should be aware of before taking this step. In addition, there are numerous benefits of plastic surgery that may help you make the right decision for your individual situation.
The Risks of Plastic Surgery
It’s important to understand that every surgical procedure carries some risk. Even if your surgeon is highly experienced, complications can arise during or after a procedure. Common risks associated with plastic surgery include infection, excessive scarring, nerve damage, and reaction to anesthesia. There is also the possibility of unsatisfactory results—for example, if the results of your rhinoplasty do not meet your expectations.
In addition to physical risks, there are psychological considerations as well. It’s possible that the outcome of plastic surgery will not live up to your expectations or meet societal standards for beauty. This could lead to feelings of disappointment or dissatisfaction with yourself and your body image. Plastic surgery can also lead to unrealistic expectations about how it can change your life; for instance, many people believe that having a “perfect” body will automatically make them more confident or successful in their lives and careers—but this isn't always true.
The Benefits of Plastic Surgery
Despite these potential risks, there are many benefits associated with cosmetic surgery as well—especially if you choose an experienced surgeon who takes great care when performing delicate procedures like liposuction or breast augmentation. These benefits include improved self-confidence, improved physical appearance (and therefore improved quality of life), increased satisfaction with one's body image, and successful treatment for certain medical conditions such as drooping eyelids or disfigured ears caused by birth defects or trauma. In some cases, plastic surgery can even save lives—such as reconstructive facial surgeries performed on burn victims or those suffering from skin cancer removal treatments.
How to minimize the risks during a plastic surgery
Considering a plastic surgery procedure is a big decision, and it is essential to ensure its success by minimizing the risks. When assessing potential surgeons, make sure to do your research and read patient reviews to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with your choice. Along with this, you will want to discuss any potential issues associated with the procedure before the operation takes place. During the procedure, observe good hygiene practices such as washing your hands regularly, keeping the area clean with antiseptic wipes, and avoiding smoking or drinking alcohol. These steps will help minimize the risk of infection or other post-operative complications. Additionally, follow any post-operative instructions you may receive from your surgeon in order to aid recovery and maximize safety. Taking these precautions can help minimize risks associated with plastic surgery procedures.
Conclusion:
Plastic surgery carries some inherent risks but it also has many potential benefits as well; ultimately it’s up to you decide whether the pros outweigh the cons in your particular case and take steps towards improving both your physical appearance and confidence levels in a safe manner. Be sure to consult an experienced Toronto plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic procedures so that you have all the information necessary to make an informed decision about whether Toronto plastic surgery is right for you. By doing thorough research into any potential risks associated with each specific procedure beforehand, you can make sure that any changes made will bring positive long-term gains rather than lead to potential disappointment!

The land of Goddesses & Monsters in Neptune in the 1st house -
written by cherry
Neptune in the 1st people have an unseen battle being carried out just below the surface. Where her spirit meets body, endless conflict between light and darkness and darkness and light takes place all day and night. She hears the call to surrender to the sleepy serene of midnight for eternity while being drawn to a glowing echo. Sometimes her spirit is unsure where to go and it creates a lability of her existence that makes it all seem too real or surreal. She often gives up trying to tell whatever could come next. Everything seems a certainty in this mythic choreography. She often gives up trying to tell whatever could come next. Everything seems a certainty in this mythic choreography.
While Neptune in the 1st people are notorious for evoking dreamy, faraway, and surreal impressions, her life within is anything but a dream. The Neptune in the 1st visions are direct divinations from the divine flame. Her imagination and spellbound reverie becomes a nation in itself where she expends an astral adrenaline in exchange for metaphysical energy. When she closes her eyes, sets her sights on the conquest and chases the fantasy, she can sense the fire burning the dream into her real life as she catches it in her hands.
This excessive expenditure of physical energy in immaterial realms can result in a tiredness that she can’t seem to sleep off. Neptune in this position can design vivid, peculiar and poignant, and trilogy-like dream episodes that may result in her questioning if certain events occurred while she was awake or slept. There may be frequent unsettling themes involving combat, violence, cruelty, bloodshed, and fire, and sometimes with a seeming impaired ability to run, freely move, or escape. In some extreme cases, the dreaming is excessive and even involves repetitive or demanding physical labour. Even when the individual has forgotten her dream or believes she slept the whole night through, the side-effects of her secret life become evident throughout the day. She may experience a vague or heavy daytime fatigue, a listlessness that cannot be explained, a weariness when she gets home that can make socialising at times seem a marathon effort.
The condition of Neptune in the 1st house may produce adrenal-like episodes in the individual involving or similar to feverish spikes of temperature, emotional reactivity, excitement, inspiration, impulsive desire, and anxious anticipation that end with the sense of the blood is being drained out of her. Frequent and chronic headaches or migraines with intense auric experiences at the onset, often with sleep-deprivation being major causation may be another Neptune in the 1st side-effect. She may also possess veins notorious for swimming away whenever she needs blood drawn, turning even the most simple venipuncture or blood test attempt into a routine ordeal - for both the clinician and the individual.
The First House is the astrological house of self-expression, presentation, and exhibition. Neptune casts a great vision onto the character she appears to be and the impression she wants to create in others. As Neptune is a planetary muse, the individual may enjoy the masquerade of make-up and experimenting with various palettes, styles, cosmetics, costumes and watching the character in the doll that comes to life.
The First House also belongs to Aries, and Neptune’s fog of redemption can be next impossible to resist and will be closer defined depending on the sign and aspects made to Neptune. It may produce an inclination for harsh Aries and Mars tainted regimes, possibly involving strict physical exertion and activity, punishment and restriction, even the bloody carnage, agony, excruciating recovery, and faded scarring of cosmetic surgery to attain and maintain the vision. This brutality in her nature may be quite surprising and seemingly at odds with her appearance - especially one of Neptunian aesthetic, glamour, and grace. It can be all-out blood, sweat, and wet mascara tears behind these picturesque scenes.
This is why the mirror is a symbol that follows Neptune in the 1st around life if she can see it or she doesn’t. It’s the altar where she catches a glimpse of the inner Priestess as particles move from the light to her eyes for the enchanting illusive moment. The mirror can cast a reflection that blurs and changes before her eyes. Her transfixed gaze are all that remain unchanged as her face swirls like mixed watercolour into mirages, memories, mermaid ancestors, and sometimes a small child.
The mirror can also be a site of self-confrontation, declaring torment, heartache, and attempts to remember who she is. It can be where she cries out and for the girl staring back in a private ritual of saving herself.
In some scenarios, extreme rage and self-contempt can distort the image into a girl that she wants to hurt or even destroy, that she could shatter this mirror and see the broken pieces of herself everywhere.
The compass beneath all of this is the spiritual task of Neptune in the 1st in action, felt most evidently through the ill-defined identity that can trouble her throughout life. That evasive ‘tangible’ identity she saw others grow into and thought she would eventually too. That is not the Way for Neptune in the 1st. The archetypal Neptune is The Mystic, The Muse, The Magician, The Mermaid and The Matriarchal Holy Trinity, who all and more go through the process of ‘waking up’ in her first house as they move away from the comforts and familiarity of dewy darkness and into the light. Her story is the rebirth of a new Priestess in the spring- the Goddess who breaks each dawn, a new initiate, a new leader to guide us toward the next vibration, astral territory, and undiscovered dimension. A new teacher of scholars, a new visionary to lead the dreaming. From victim to victory, the only possible ending of this story.
Much awaited, ordained, celebrated,but most of all, content, at ease, with who she is.
Light at last,
without a shadow of a self-doubt

it was a pleasure to burn (spencer reid x fem bau!reader)
Tumblr media
genre: fluff i think even though the name is v angsty LOL it’s a literal screenplay with the amout of dialogue i wrote LMAO so idk
summary: a particularly rough and disturbing case gets to reader, and spencer and reader are brought together by this.
words: just about 6k (my longest fic ahhHH)
warnings: typical criminal minds gore and violence just up a notch, they get on a plane at the end, somebody gets ~shot~, somebody gets ~bonked~, cursing, mentions of reid’s addiction, and i think that’s it. also the reader wears reading glasses but that’s the only predetermined factor of appearance. btw i don’t think i used any pronouns in this but i apologize if i’m wrong. 
a/n: LMFAO i was outside awhile ago celebrating litha with a nice lil hike and i saw a butterfly and i had just started watching cm and was like hMMm... killer who’s obsessed with symmetry??!1??!? y Es. enjoy 😼 EDIT: THERE IS SO MANY PLOT HOLES OMG FBREHJBFHEJFRE IM RBFBRE
🂦∙🂦∙🂦
Present Day, Central Park, New York
“Aren’t they just stunning?” The unsub spoke, keeping her eyes trained on the butterfly sitting happily on her finger. The brightly colored creature fluttered off her hand that was dripping scarlet, flying around her curly head of brown hair. Her, formerly white, blood-stained dress flowed around her as she followed it, watching in awe as it soared about. She giggled, plopping down on the grass in the middle of a circle of her victim’s pale, lifeless bodies, all of them with ironically morbid butterflies resting upon the frail skin of the corpses.
“Aren’t they, agents?”
She slanted her green eyes, gripping the grass a little harder. I flicked my tongue over my lips nervously, looking over to the lanky man on my left. He simply shrugged, just about as sure of how to handle the situation just as much as I was.
“If I knew you all were coming, I would have cleaned up, I really would have, I promise.”
We slowly walked towards her, twigs and leaves crunching under our feet. It could have been comparable to a hunter stalking its prey, but it unfortunately was quite the opposite.
6 days earlier, Quantico, Virginia
“3 bodies, all found within the last 48 hours in rural New York. So far, the first body has revealed that although it was dumped upstate, the victim was murdered in the city, and the same most likely goes for the other bodies as well. Nails well manicured, no drugs in the system. They aren't junkies, we’re dealing with upper class citizens.”
My face contorted as I took the photos from Reid’s hands, his large and tanned one surprising me by how soft it felt as it accidentally brushed against mine. I blushed like a madman, looking to see him doing the same thing. I cleared my throat getting Rossi’s attention.
“Why are we only now hearing of this?” I questioned, flipping through the images as I did so, my confusion only growing. I didn’t recieve an answer, leaving my curiosity to bloom.
“Wait, how did you say they were killed again?”
Morgan looked up, taking the photos from me. “He didn’t.”
I sighed, pushing my glasses up on my nose.
“Is there at least any correlation between the bodies and the butterflies?”
Our attention was shifted to JJ, the resident expert on the insects.
“Actually, the ones being found with the bodies are from the Amarynthis family, all native to Latin America. They weren’t there by accident so yes, they’re somehow related.”
Rossi stood up, grabbing his coat.
“Well, none of this is nearly enough for a profile, so pack your bags and tell the others, wheels up in an hour. We’re headed to New York.”
4 days earlier, F.B.I. Field Office, New York, New York
“The final report from the latest victim is in, all the autopsies are clean. They show no signs of struggles, no marks, no blood, no anything. The eyes weren’t bloodshot, so suffocation is ruled out, and that was our best bet.”
I sighed, sliding the case file across the glass table to Spence as I took my seat, sinking into it and allowing myself to be consumed by its warmth.
“So what your saying is that we’re back at square one.”
I looked up at Hotch from where I sat, running my hand through my ponytail.
“Yeah. That’s what I’m saying.”
Just then, the young Doctor spoke up as he flipped through the pages.
“The eyes weren’t just not bloodshot, there was barely any blood left in any of the victims bodies, only about 3% of the volume left. The killer drained them.”
Morgan gave me a shocked expression, silently asking for an explanation.
“Which you failed to mention, Y/n.” Aaron spoke, agitation once again present in his voice.
I looked at the ceiling, crossing my arms in front of me before turning to face Hotch once more.
“Yeah, well, I thought it was obvious when I said no blood.” I stuttered out cautiously.
“On the bodies! Not in the bodies!” Morgan exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air in what was in my opinion, very childish. Everyone else in the room aside from Spencer was either shaking their heads or pinching the bridge of their noses, and reasonably so.
“Look, I’m sorry I just didn’t see it in the report, plus, In the scheme of things, it just doesn’t seem to matter.”
I soon regretted my words, realizing how ill-fit they were for the current conversation I was having. Spencer looked up, tilting his head.
“Doesn’t seem to matter? How? There’s an endless amount of possibilities now that we know this. If we had known it sooner we probably could have figured out the pattern and caught the one doing this!” He harshly spewed, his voice acting like a crescendo of sorts, quiet and calm and moving towards a loud and violent tone. Tears began to prick at the corners of my eyes and I was starting to feel guilty, not to mention absolutely stupid as could be.
“I’m- I really am sorry guys, truly.”
Hotch locked eyes with me, taking a stern tone that one would usually take with a disobedient child, perhaps even Jack.
“I hope that’s a comfort to you when another body shows up. That’s their blood on your hands.”
I was frozen, the gravity of the situation taking its toll.
In the background I heard him say something to Morgan about a new profile having to be made as there were many new things to be known from this revelation. But it all went in one ear and out the other, just unpleasant white noise.
As I clumsily stumbled out of the room, I felt Reid’s eyes burning holes into the back of my brain. I was quick to turn my head to meet his glance, causing him to look down. I felt bad, the weight on my chest growing heavier from the interaction.
I sat down at my desk, turning on my computer and immediately going to google. I typed in “hypnosis” and let the info trickle in.
About 30 minutes later, I still felt absolutely horrible, but I had also put together a valuable profile in the time that had passed. I shut the newly finished file, blowing an abandoned strand of hair out from my eyes. I had to do a double take when I saw Spencer staring once more, his deep hazel eyes meeting my own. I gave him a small smile before standing up and walking to Hotch’s makeshift New York office. I pushed open the heavy door, placing the folder on his too-clean desk.
“What’s this?” He asked, taking it in his hands.
“My theory about the unsub. I think I know what she’s been doing. You can tell the team if you want, I’m not sure if they would wanna hear it from me. ”
He gave a small smile, pushing the file back over to me.
“You get the team together and I’ll get the local PD caught up. You tell them yourself.”
A few minutes later, everyone except for Reid had gathered in the meeting room. I peeked through the half closed blinds that allowed a line of vision to his desk in an attempt to locate him. He was positioned there, staring blankly at his laptop that appeared to have nothing on the screen. I knocked on the window lightly to catch his attention, his glazed over eyes looking in my direction. I tilted my head at him, silently beckoning him to join me. He only shook his in response, shaggy brown locks swaying back and forth. I sighed, frowning at his action. I turned to the group, clasping my hands in front of me.
“Everyone, this will just be a second if you’ll excuse me.”
With a raised eyebrow from Hotchner and a jab in the direction of Spencer’s workspace, I swiftly walked out of the crowded room.
“Spence, care to join us?” I asked, resting one of my hands against my hip, the other on his orderly desk.
“No, I don’t think I will. I need to try to figure this out before she finds her next victim.”
“What makes you think the unsub is a she?” I searched his eyes that had seemingly become brighter at my piqued interest in his hypothesis.
“Well, the unsub seems to be obsessed with symmetry, all the bodies being found in obscure yet symmetrical positions. This could suggest she had some sort of deep rooted insecurity, possibly from some sort of bullying from growing up in a small town where she was looked at as a superior for subpar looks. She moved to the big city, expecting a big break. Instead she was shunned for being less than average. She grew frustrated and as a result, she began her killing spree. The stresser could have been one too many insults that made her snap. Plus, that would account for the butterflies left on the scenes that are used in modern examples of both femininity and symmetry.”
I smiled widely at his words.
“What- why are you smiling, what are you smiling at?”
I tapped his desk, rolling my bottom lip between my teeth. I headed back towards the conference room, looking over my shoulder.
“Because, I’m glad we’re on the same page, Dr.”
——————
“So, our girl, as Dr. Reid has explained to us, is obsessed with her appearance. She’s an organized killer, no mistakes and no signs of blood or anything of the sort on scene. She has practice, she does this sort of thing every day. She is most likely in the age group of 23-30, and has a job in the cosmetic industry, our guess is in plastic surgery. She probably volunteers weekends at local butterfly sanctuaries or zoos, finding comfort in their perfection that those in her life, or formerly in her life, cannot and could not provide.”
“Which would explain to her easy access to non-native species of the insects. She has an absolute infatuation with symmetry, which yet again, links the butterflies on the crime scene to her MO.”
Spencer and I were vividly explaining our shared theory to the team, as well as local law enforcement. He was excited by his discovery and the lead on the killer, and his energy was contagious.
“She kills without remorse and out of jealousy, picking victims who all have one thing in common.”
Spence pointed to all of the images pasted on the board in the center of the room, all of them split in half and reflected, creating a perfect mirrored portrait.
“They all have perfectly symmetrical faces, as well as strong jawlines and high cheekbones. As most of these victims are models or those searching to start a modeling career, we believe she is luring them in with a photographer trope, promising to make their dreams come true.”
I nodded, taking a moment to study Reid’s own sharp yet somehow soft features. I allowed my eyes to wander over his sunken in, kind, and curious eyes; his pillowy pink lips that are in dire need of some chapstick.
“Agent?”
I turned my head, snapped back to reality by Rossi calling my name.
I gave a tight and quick smile, returning to the topic at hand and tactics to catch the unsub. But of course not before Emily gave me a crooked smile, resulting in me rolling my eyes.
“Physically, she’s nothing special, most likely a mundane appearance or one with quite obvious surgical changes. No in between. Check all of the plastic surgeon offices in the area for both employees who fit our description, as well as a patient who has gotten any serious facial mod operations. Do the same for any weekend volunteers at local zoos and animal sanctuaries, specifically working with any insects.”
It was an NYPD officer then that spoke up this time, raising her hand briefly.
“But, you still haven’t mentioned how she’s killing them?”
“Hypnosis.” Reid and I both spoke at the same time. He looked to his black Converse, sliding his hands into his pockets. I observed the room and all of the skeptical faces filling it.
“Even if it may sound far fetched, we saw no signs of anything that indicated a struggle or even any marks or wounds. This led us to believe that some form of hypnosis was used to allow her an easy kill. This means extra caution will have to be taken when actually handling the unsub. Even though we’re positive she’s using hypnosis, which method she is using to actually kill them after the fact is what we’re unsure of.”
I turned to Spencer, handing off the explanation to him.
“We think that because of her whole thing with symmetry, she wouldn’t want to disturb the natural state of the victims and their faces, even if she would do the same to her own.”
“Which means?” JJ asked, her blue eyes slanted and glossed lips left ajar.
“It means that the unsub wouldn’t want to leave any large marks like stab or gunshot wounds.” I nodded at Prentiss, who had made the assumption, confirming she was correct.
“With her presumed background in plastic surgery, we believe she was able to make small incisions that made no visible scars. We’re having the coroner look back over the bodies as we speak.”
“She drains the body’s blood 97% of the way before closing the holes up. What she does with the blood, we don’t know. Another Eddie Mays, perhaps.”
I looked over to Spencer, raising my brows at his comparison. He was quick to defend himself, shaking his hands left to right and mouthing “No” while simultaneously shaking his head the same way, something he seemed to be doing often as of late.
After we had finished consulting with any officers who had remaining questions, we branched off to conduct our own routine investigations. We found that the only thing they all had in common apart from the symmetrical faces, is that they all had visited the Central Park Zoo in the 24 hours before they were killed. We received a phone call from Garcia not long after we put together those pieces, being alerted that there was one girl who had, in her words, “Hit every mark there was to hit, sunshine.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
“Her name is Alessia Copelas, she works weekdays as a surgeon's assistant at Premier Cosmetic, and weekends at Central Park Zoo from 4-8 p.m.”
I smiled at the new info from the blonde bombshell known as Penelope, turning to Reid who was still looking at me quizzically.
“Alright, thanks babes, you’re the best.” I spoke into the phone, a comical “Mwah!” made from either side as we hung up.
He shook his head, keeping the odd look on his face.
“I swear, you guys have a weirder relationship than her and Morgan.”
I laughed, sliding my phone into my back pocket.
“Oh, please, Spence.” I gingerly placed a hand on his cheek, patting it twice.
“You’re just jealous.” I made a pouty face, letting my hand linger before walking off. “Come on, we’re going on a field trip.”
“Where to?” He asked, gripping the door frame, using it as leverage to swing himself closer to me. He took long and quick strides, catching up to me in no time.
“You like animals, right?”
———————
4 Days Earlier, Central Park Zoo, New York
As soon as we entered the zoo, our ears were filled with the sounds of the loud screeches of birds and monkeys alike. Reid covered his ears, cringing and making his displeasure known with an “Ahh!”
I smiled at his geeky behavior, admiring the animals in the enclosures. I paid special attention to a particularly impressive species of tarantula, leaning down to admire them. A few moments later I looked to my left and saw Spencer doing the same thing.
“Did you know that arachnids have asthma which is why they don’t run for extended periods of time, similarly to cheetahs?”
“Yes I did.”
His face scrunched up in an adorable manner, causing an involuntary giggle to fall past my lips.
“Well did you know that-“
“Ma’am?”
I turned to see a young woman with flaming red hair and a freckled face smiling at me, her green collared uniform top complimenting her eyes of a different shade wonderfully.
“Oh, hi, I’m Agent Y/l/n and this is Dr. Reid, we’re with the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI.”
Her expression shifted to a more confused one, her smile not leaving her face.
“What can I do for you two?”
“Is there an Alessia Copelas that works here, maybe volunteers on the weekends?” Spencer asked, his puppy dog eyes immediately warranting a response.
“Yeah, she volunteers here, she seems nice. Is she helping with an investigation?”
“Well we think that she may have some part in a series of murders.”
Her smile disappeared this time, turning into a cement frown as panic flooded her body.
“Oh God, was she- Is she a killer? Have I been working with a killer for all this time? I mean, I never had any shifts with her but from what I heard I thought she was so sweet-“
“Look,”
Reid glanced down to her name tag that read “Lillian” before meeting her eyes. His tongue darted out, licking his lips, a nervous habit of his I’d picked up on.
“Lillian, we aren’t sure if she’s the killer we just needed to get a feel on her and get some information regarding her personal life.”
She started frantically nodding her head, more trying to convince herself she was okay rather than ourselves. I looked over her shoulder at some exhibits, thinking to myself how this would end up being a waste of our time if this poor girl couldn’t get a grip on herself.
I was soon proven wrong when I looked over to see a young girl wearing an identical uniform to Lillian, probably somewhere between 23 and 24. She had untamed chocolate locks with bangs that stopped just above the shoulder, blemishes covering her T-Zone, and a rounded face to go with it.
The cherry on top? Under her arm she carried a small enclosure with what appeared to be amarynthis meneria, the same butterflies found on the victims.
I tapped Reid on the shoulder once as discreetly as possible, catching his attention. I heard him mutter a small “Oh God” before he told Lillian to walk away calmly and quickly. She ignored his request, turning to look at Alessia, letting out a blood curdling scream and sprinting the other direction.
“Shit.” I cursed, beginning to walk towards Alessia, Spencer by my side. I smiled at her, trying to appear friendly. Reid spoke up as we got closer.
“Hello, do you by any chance-“
wham!
“Spence!” I exclaimed, reaching down to help him up from where he had fallen from being whacked by the 4’2 pyscho that was Alessia Copelas.
“Did she get away?”
I turned to see her gone, the only sign she was even here being the forming bruise on the Dr’s face.
“Yeah. She did. I’m sorry, Reid, that was really stupid of me.” He shook his head, running his own hand over the raw skin.
“It’s fine, I would have done the same for you.” He looked up, and I wasn’t sure if it was my school-girl esque crush on him or the fact I just had another experience with a serial killer, but my heart was racing nonetheless.
————————
F.B.I. Field Office, New York, New York, 1 Day Earlier
The stress levels in the room were high.
Despite our best efforts, several more bodies had been found, New York’s narcissists were in a state of panic, and the spirits of the BAU were down to say the least.
“What? Are you kidding me?” I exclaimed, looking at Hotch in disbelief.
He rolled his chocolate eyes, fanning the folder containing the new information we had gathered on Alessia.
“I wish I was, Y/n. She’s off the grid completely, her apartment is empty, phone and credit cards have been deactivated, and the surgeon’s office hasn’t heard from her for 5 days. And the media has decided to give her the name ‘Butterfly Baron’, so she’s probably been fueled even further. We need a new lead before she strikes again.”
I scoffed, standing up and pushing my chair away.
“This is unbelievable. How many times do we have to reinforce the idea to local PD! Especially when the unsub is a self absorbed psycho, do not give them a name! God, I really cannot fathom this.”
I reached up, letting my hair down from where I had messily thrown it up upon my arrival to work that morning.
I stormed out of the room, my heels clicking behind me. I ignored Hotch’s calling of my name, making my way to the closest restroom.
I went in, locking the door behind him. I ran my hands through my roots, tugging just enough to where it hurt.
Turning the water to the left all the way, I splashed it from the stream leaving the faucet on to my face. I scratched my fingernails against the skin, wiping away the tears that had escaped.
“This is all your fault, y/n.” I whispered at myself in the mirror, doing my absolute best to engrain the message in my brain. I had my head hung in shame when a knock rang out.
“Y/n?”
It was Spencer. My mind started going a million miles a minute, thinking about why he could be there. With my voice raised a few octaves, I tried to scrape up a response.
“I’ll be out in a few, Spence.”
It was quiet for a split second, leaving me to foolishly dance around the idea that he had left me to wallow in my sorrowful thoughts.
“Y/n, Hotch wanted me to check on you. Are you ok?”
My heart slightly sank at the idea that he might’ve just come to check on me because he himself was worried. I discarded the thought, bringing myself back.
“Y/n can you please answer me? If you don’t open the door I’m gonna send in JJ or Emily.”
I sighed, wiping under my eyes where my mascara had smudged, begrudgingly walking over to the door. Just as my hand landed on the silver handle, his voice that was constantly playing in my head echoed out once more.
“Y/n, please? I need to know you’re okay. I’ll come in there myself.”
A soft smirk graced my face as I turned the handle to reveal a worried looking Spencer.
“Y/n, oh God, you had me worried.”
He was quiet when he spoke and his hair looked messy, like he had been running his slender fingers through it in a stress filled state.
I sniffled, attempting to still keep back tears that were still threatening to spill.
“I’m alright, Spencer. Really, I’m fine.”
He gave me a small smile, his eyes meeting my own.
“I know, it’s just that when I had my Diludad problem,” he hesitated.
“I would lock myself in bathrooms to shoot up, and I know you aren’t having a problem like that but I just was worried about you- what are you doing?”
I cut off his rambling by throwing my arms around his middle. He tensed, but quickly melted. He wrapped his strong arms around my shoulders and my waist, laying his head on mine.
“Y/n, I promise you, you’re doing your absolute best to stop Alessia. We wouldn’t even be where we are right now if you hadn’t made the connections. Those deaths are not your fault.”
My tears finally began to cascade like a waterfall, staining his shirt.
“I know, but it’s just like it is all my fault! I could have paid closer attention, or-or, I could have went after her at the zoo, it’s all my fucking fault, Reid.”
I sobbed into his shirt, my hand gripping his shirt like my life depended on it. Like if I let go I would fall into a deep, deep, endless hole.
His hand on my waist moved up to cradle my head.
“It’s not, I promise you-“
He was cut off mid sentence by the ringing of his phone.
“I am so, so sorry-”
I pulled away, breifly touching under my nose with my wrist, then moving a hair behind my ear.
“Nope, it’s fine, don’t worry.” Our words almost had overlapped each other as we clambered to fight the tension that had risen. I closed my eyes, tilting my head up, thinking about how unprofessional yet intimate our previous position had been. How wrong, yet how right it felt.
I kept running the moment through my head, the feeling of his warm figure encasing mine on replay.
His phone call played as background noise to the film playing in my brain, his voice calming me to an extent.
“Yeah, we’re on our way. Thanks, Morgan.”
He closed the phone with a snap, also snapping me out of my trance, putting the movie on pause.
“They’ve got a hit. Copelas was seen dropping by her old apartment.”
And for the first time since that Goddamn case had started, I smiled genuinely.
“Let’s go get her.”

15 Minutes Prior, Central Park, New York
“Hotch?”
“Yes?” He looked back from where he was driving, following our lead in a rushed manner.
“What will we do if she...” I trailed off.
“Hypnotizes one of us?” He finished for me. I nodded solemnly.
The look on his face was conflicted and it took him a moment to come up with a response.
“We kill her before we have to kill one of our team members.”
He saw a look of uncertainty on my face and spoke up once more.
“And that’s an order.”
I nodded again, making eye contact with him through the rear view mirror. I fell back into my seat, closing my eyes briefly.
After a few more minutes on the road, we had arrived.
The doors all slammed to the SUVs, one after the other as we stepped out.
“The letter said that she would be here, somewhere here.”
The voice of Morgan was channeling through my earpiece, referring to the letter found at her apartment that she had left just for us.
“We ordered evac on citizens, correct?”
The unsure voice of JJ was also heard through the earpiece, her uncertainty quite unusual to hear.
“Yes, it was the first thing we did, Jayj.”
I whispered, a sly smirk from Spencer forming at my behavior.  
“Oh shut up.”
“I didn’t even say anything!”
snap!
Our senses adapted, becoming dialed to 11 at the sound of a twig snapping under someone's feet.
“Was that you?” I mouthed to Spencer. He shook his head no and I silently cursed to whatever force was listening.
I nodded, which he then reciprocated, the pair of us slowly walking towards the source of the sound after he did.
“They’re going to remember me, I’ll go down in history.”
The voice was sing-songy and quiet, floating through the air. I took a shaky breath, continuing my steady pace.
My breathing momentarily halted soon after.
Different variations of “Oh my God”s, and loud gasps from almost everyone on the team flooded my ear canal at the horrifying sight in front of us.
Red. So much of it.
“Guys, I think we know what she’s been doing with the bodies’ blood.”
“No shit.” I muttered under my breath.
She was bathed in the blood, it looked like something straight out of a horror movie.
“Alright everyone, I want you to approach her as quietly as possible, Morgan, if you get the chance, corner her.”
Hotch’s voice was a stark contrast to her own, Derek’s response all the same.
—————————
Present Day, Central Park, New York
“But Agents, you still haven’t answered my question. They’re beautiful, aren’t they?”
“Alessia Copeleas, FBI, come on, get up, lets go.”
Derek’s voice was stern, not asking, but demanding that Alessia come with us.
“I’m afraid I just can’t do that, Agents.”
She stood up abruptly, causing all of our weapons to rise. The sun reflected off of the silver metal of Reid’s gun, sparkling in a stunning way that caught me off guard.
We all were trying to act as if we were in total control of the situation, but we could tell that us nor Copelas really believed that. Her words were her weapon, and this was the one time where words could hurt, but sticks and stones had virtually no power.
“Take another step and we will have no hesitation to fire.”
She smirked, rolling her eyes.
“If you do, will I be famous you think? You think they’ll hear about me back home?”
Her curls softly blew in the wind, making her appear almost harmless, maybe even endearing, if it wasn’t for the hardening coat of human blood soaking her clothes and seeping from her skin.
“Is that what you want? The kids back home and everyone here to hear about you? You want ‘Butterfly Baron’ written on every billboard in Times Square, your picture painted in museums, films to be made in your honor?” Reid was the one who spoke up this time, his voice remaining strong. Her eyes shone with a sickening excitement at what he said.
“You want to be famous?”
She nodded vigorously.
“Too bad.”
My eyes widened, surprised at the detour the conversation had taken.
“What-what do you mean?”
“Please, the only thing people will hear about is a sad, boring little girl from a small town who killed to feel better about herself. They’ll forget about you in a week, who knows, maybe they’ll even grow an infatuation with your town, someone you went to school with may get as lucky as to catch their big break!” He laughed, while Alessia looked absolutely devastated.
“You? You’ll be a nobody.”
“That’s not true! I’ll go down in history, and they won’t! I’m the fucking butterfly baron for hells sake! All these people?” She gestured towards her field of bodies.
“You won’t remember their names, maybe not even their pretty faces, but me? I’ll live forever.”
Her nostrils flared and she strode over to Reid with purpose. The safety on my glock clicked off, but Spencer motioned for me to wait. So I did.
“You know, Agent-“
“It’s Doctor.”
This visibly agitated her even more as she started her sentence over again.
“Doctor, you have a beautiful bone structure. Absolutely perfect. Symmetrical, not to mention just flat out stunning.”
A glaze formed over Spencer’s honey eyes at her words. He lowered his gun momentarily before turning towards me, Copelas doing the same.
“And you, Agent. Wow. I feel like I’m in an art exhibit, you’re gorgeous. I think the Doctor man here would agree.”
As he lifted his revolver at me, the situation became all too real as I understood what was happening.
I either had to shoot the man that I was struggling to admit I was beginning to love, or died at the hands of the very same man.
Tears flooded my eyes, all safeties were turned down, and all guns were pointed at Reid.
“Spence, please.”
My voice was weak, something that seemed to bring Alessia lots of joy.
She laughed before talking again, commanding Spencer.
“Pathetic, really! Spence”, she mocked,“shoot her.”
“No!”
bang!
whack!
--------------------- 
Present Day, Somewhere In The Sky, The Jet
I opened my eyes from where I had been tackled to the ground by Hotch, surveying my surroundings to see Alessia laying on the grass, the source of her gunshot wound non-distinguishable from the previous blood on her body.
I looked to the right to see where Spencer had crumpled to, his frame bent in a discombobulated position.
“Spencer!” I cried out, crawling over to him like some sort of dog,
“What happened to him?”
“Y/n, he was going to shoot you-“
“I don’t care you should have let him!”
I cradled his head in my lap, allowing my pent up tears to fall.
“Y/n?”
My eyes snapped open for real this time, my mind calmed at the sight of Spencer sitting next to me on the couch, gently shaking my shoulder in an attempt to wake me from my nightmare.
“Spencer! Sorry, was I too loud?”
He chuckled, gesturing to the rest of the sleeping plane around us.
“You’re fine, I wasn’t sleeping, I decided to reread ‘Fahrenheit 451’ for nostalgia purposes. And you weren’t that loud, you just looked like you were having a bad dream.”
I chuckled at the not-so outlandish idea in an attempt to diminish it from his mind and move on.
“I’m fine. But fun fact, I did have nightmares after reading ‘The Veldt’. Seriously, I don’t get how you can just reread Bradbury’s stuff all the time.”
The genius scoffed, starting a rant on how Ray Bradbury’s storytelling was just classic literature and deserved to be reread, thus successfully changing the topic as I hoped my statement would. Although soon after, he caught on much quicker than I would have liked him to.
“And not to mention, The Veldt alone could be seen as a forewarning to the 21st century and beyond, even Bradbury himself supported that interpretation-‘
I gave him a tired smile, enjoying his rambling like I always did.
“-and you totally just got me to change the subject.”
“I was wondering when you were gonna catch up.”
“Hey!”
He laughed as I rested my head on my hand, trying to fall back asleep.
“Really, I can tell those nightmares are bad. What’s going on?” He questioned, his tone empathetic and compassionate.
“It’s nothing, Reid. I just keep seeing in the park, when Alessia got shot and you-you got hurt but instead of getting up like you did in real life, you just…”
I trailed off, not wanting to relive the negative dream any longer for fear of the tears that were pricking my eyes escaping.
“It’s okay, that didn’t happen, I’m right here.”
He pulled me into a hug, allowing me to bury my head in the crook of his neck, his warmth consuming me once more, a sequel to the film from earlier.
“I know, but what if it hadn’t?” I asked as I pulled away.
He shook his head, reaching for his wallet.
“In this job, this course of work, we can’t focus on ‘what if’s’. In this job, we also get nightmares, all of us. It happens.”
He slid a picture over to me, it was of a happy family. The edges were worn from years of being carried, but the picture seemed loved.
“Gideon gave me that when my nightmares started. He told me about how those families we save everyday, and how that’s what makes what we do worth it. And I know you didn’t know Gideon personally, or the work on the specific case with that family, but I want you to have it anyway-“
I cut him off by throwing my arms around his neck, attempting to speak despite being muffled by his fluffy sweater.
“Thank you, Spence. Truly.”
I smiled, and I imagined he was doing the same.
“No problem y/n. Anytime.”
I moved my legs over to be tucked underneath my arms, leaning into Reid. He wrapped his arm around me, also leaning in. We both managed to fall asleep for the remainder of the ride in our state of content, but not before he managed to sleepily call out my name.
“Y/n?”
“Yeah?”
“When we land do you wanna go on a date or somethin’?”
I smiled at him, separating from his form just long enough to see that beautiful face of his.
“Without a doubt.”

ACCEPTED // ANDROMEDA GLASS
18 years old, 94th Hunger Games, FC: Natalia Dyer
Controlled and Controlling, Charming, Observant, Passionate
tw: murder, burns, plastic surgery, sex, pregnancy
ARENA:
The arena for the 94th annual Hunger Games resembled a hotel with a spa - a luxury not many tributes had heard of, let alone seen. The outfit the tributes wore were simply bath robes, luxurious and warm enough, but hardly protective. The reception, the Cornucopia, didn’t take many victims that year - lifts took away those unwilling to participate in the bloodbath, leaving only a bloodthirsty few. Among them was Andromeda, having formed a pact with the other Career tributes, naturally. Her hands remained clean, though - her District partner having no issue doing the dirty work for her as they claimed the resources the reception offered.
Tributes quickly started dying off, though. The Careers hunted from floor to floor in the hotel, easily taking out at least half of their competition. And yet, there wasn’t as much as dirt under Andie’s fingernails. She was there to be admired, not have her beauty tarnished. Her arrogance made up for her lack of physical effort easily, she found, as she slowly but surely set up her Career allies against each other. The boys were easily charmed, the girls easily made jealous.
As it came down to four Careers -including Andie- and three other tributes, tensions boiled over. It was day five. The spa, previously inaccessible, opened its doors to the remaining tributes, and with that came a room filled with CCTV footage from the past days. Andie’s manipulation came to light, and the Careers turned on her. The only other remaining girl got to her first - Andie’s first kill. The other girl ended up stabbed through the stomach, sliced open by a panicked Andromeda. She was traumatized, covered in blood -she wasn’t sure if it was hers or the other girl’s-, on the verge of breaking down and giving up. Her first real taste of the Games wasn’t all she’d hyped it up to be, and she knew she was in for more soon - there was a storm brewing, a finale coming.
Andromeda rinsed herself off in the showers, finding a tiny twelve year old hiding in one of the shower stalls. The water hid her tears as she strangled the boy to death, her actions almost automatic, a shell shocked response, years of training paying off in the worst way. Then, it was just her and the District Two boy left - the other tributes having been taken care of by him and the other Career he’d fought and drowned afterwards. Her Career ally locked Andie in the sauna before she even knew it’d happened. She’d been trying to avoid him, to hide, like that would somehow save her. He just cranked up the heat while she sweated and cried. He wanted to see her in pain after the lies she told him in their time as more than allies. After finding out that he wasn’t the only one she’d claimed to be in love with, had claimed to be her first. She begged him for a last kiss, a last resort - he opened the door. He didn’t let her out, though. He’d grown tired of her cries. He pushed her into the hot stones, leaving burns all over her body, her face. He wasn’t in for a quick kill, he wanted her to suffer. Andromeda grabbed one of the hot stones as a response, barely able to focus through the pain, and bashed her ally’s head in while he was too distracted trying to ruin as much of her as possible. She was crowned Victor after a full four minutes of her former ally bleeding out, and she was never the same. Not physically, not mentally.
BIOGRAPHY:
Andromeda Glass was known as the girl that always played games - and naturally, played them to win. Boys were wrapped around her finger, girls competing to be in her shadow. It was a role that suited her, despite her rather average background, she was a charismatic character. From a young age, she was set up against her twin brother - them being the only children of a diamond miner and his wife. She was taught to skirt around the edges of the rules, to be better in unexpected ways. Her twin brother was older, taller, some would say smarter, stronger. But Andromeda had grace and fluttering eyelashes on her side, and she’d be damned if she didn’t play to the strengths her brother didn’t have. It was the only thing that made her different, even being compared to her brother constantly couldn’t hide that. It was the thing that made her better.
Both of them went to the Academy - he excelled, she averaged. And boy, did that get under her skin. Sure, she had a group of friends that her brother didn’t, she had boyfriends that were higher on the scoreboard than her brother could ever be. But it wasn’t the same - Andromeda hadn’t beaten him, truly, she was only better by association. The feeling chipped away at her every day of training, every time she tried to pick a specialism and failed. She wasn’t a good Career, she was never going to be. Her brother was, though. There had been talks about how he’d volunteer once he turned eighteen, how he’d make his parents proud and come home a Victor. Andie was going to be a nice wife someday, but nothing special, nothing like her brother, not a Career and not a Victor. Her friends, her hard work twisting everyone to her side, it didn’t matter in the long run. Her brother was always going to be better, his talents recognized more easily.
So naturally, she volunteered early. It was the year of the 94th Hunger Games, her brother not due to volunteer for another couple years. It was so unexpected - the actual Career she’d stolen the place from seemed flabbergasted, unable to even protest the development. Andromeda had only one thing on her mind - beating her brother to the crown. And she did.
She came home a Victor, looking nothing like her former self. Her friends that had seen her actions either celebrated her as someone she wasn’t and had no interest in being, or avoided her all together. Her parents cherished her, but Andie knew there was a reason her father refused to touch her scarred face. Her brother was forbidden from entering the Games after her - her mother couldn’t bear another round. Her brother resented her, as Andie resented him for being her reason to compete in the first place.
In return for playing the perfect Victor, a triumphant Career growing into confidence and public eye, Andromeda was given cosmetic surgery the year after her Games. Her face was fixed, the rest of her body resembling the old her slightly more. But nothing about her was the same, really. She’d seen how people treated her when she didn’t have her pretty face, she wasn’t in control in the same way she’d been before. She needed attention, validation. A reminder that she was beautiful and still possessed the charm that had almost gotten her killed. It was the only thing that would save her, bring back the old her, give her some comfort and familiarity.
She sought that comfort at many parties, social events, beds, bars. Andromeda hated being alone, yet didn’t trust her company. Insomnia and tea were her best friends, ‘sleeping’ with one eye open after every guy she’d slept with. And eventually, her attention craving ways caught up with her, just like her little games caught up with her in the Arena. Andromeda’s recently found out she’s pregnant. She knows who the father is, of course, but she doesn’t trust him, nor anyone else. Only her brother knows. And Andie’s panicked; she can see her body changing in ways plastic surgery won’t hide, she knows the physical transformation will leave her as unwanted as her first 'transformation’ did. And yet, she’s fiercely determined and protective. She’s without guidance, seeming just too confident to need it, and she’s utterly and completely lost.

What Is The Best Hair Treatment Options For Women?
Tumblr media
Hair loss is a severe scalp problem and it is more deadly when the genes also play a part in making your scalp bald. Generally, males go bald with male pattern baldness or genetic hair loss but women also experience severe hair loss due to several reasons like nutrient deficiency, stress, hairstyle and hair products, pregnancy, menopause, seasonal changes, chronic disease and medications. However, the genes play a major part in causing female pattern hair loss. 
Experts say that Hair Transplant in Ahmedabad is the main treatment option for women but there is more to know. 
Difference Between Male Pattern Hair Loss And Female Pattern Hair Loss 
Pattern baldness is a genetic disease that affects both men and women but with different hair loss patterns. 
In males, the hairline shows severe recession with affecting temporal and crown area. 
The process is stabilized after leaving a thin layer of hairs in the back and sides. 
The hairs growing in the back and sides are called donor hairs since the surgeon removes these hairs to perform the surgery. 
As you see, donor region for vital for men to get success hair loss treatment. 
In females, this donor region is absent since they do not show the pattern similar to the pattern in males. 
They face severe hair loss and thinning across the entire scalp without the recession of hairline. 
However, a pattern similar to the male pattern baldness occurs in females and shows a receding hairline. 
Possible Treatments For Female Hair Loss Patients 
Hair loss in women can be prevented with the help of self-care if the reasons are not genetic. However, genetic hair loss wants proper treatment with the help of a hair loss doctor. 
Only an expert is able to diagnose the problem and to provide proper treatment. 
Mainly three approaches are used by the doctors to treat female pattern baldness: medications, non-surgical and surgical. 
Let us look at the three prime ways separately.
Medications:
Medicines like Monoxide are prescribed by the surgeon if severe hair thinning takes place without the recession of the hairline. Medicines are FDA approved and can prevent hair loss if the patients use them regularly. However, the condition will come back if the patients stop using the medicines. 
Non-Surgical Treatments:
Treatments like PRP or laser therapy are used to stimulate hair growth again. But these treatments, usually, do not work on a completely bald scalp. You can undergo these treatments if it is just the start of hair loss and you want to prevent your scalp. 
Surgical Treatment:
Hair transplant is the prime treatment for pattern hair loss but women are not the ideal candidates since they do not have any donor area. 
However, the cases given below allow women to have surgical treatment. 
∙       Patients of mechanical or traction alopecia 
∙       Hair loss around the incision sites due to cosmetic or plastic surgery 
∙       Patterned hair loss in women 
∙       Hair loss because of trauma 
∙       Burn victims 
∙       Scarring from accidents 
∙       Women with alopecia marginalis 
If you need permanent hair loss treatment, just visit the Avenues clinic that is a prime center for hair loss, providing a reasonable Hair Transplant Price in Ahmedabad.

Week 8: Digital Health and cosmetic surgery on visual social media..
Instagram started out as an innocent place to document your life, chat with friends and share your day but throughout the course of its existence it’s become a $102 billion digital marketplace (Mediakix, 2017). As I scroll through my feed daily, I feel the constant push of products shoved in my face. Skinny tea, ‘fat burning’ diets, pink clay masks to improve my skin and cosmetic injectables to defy the ageing process and plump my lips (to name a few). At the age of 23, just last week, I actually found myself sitting on my bed scrolling through cosmetic enhancement ‘before and after images’, contemplating lip filler!?! Instagram casually permeating these ideas through my brain as if it was as normal and easy as brushing my teeth. I never thought I would fall victim to the comparison trap, but the constant beauty and body aesthetic templates saturated across my social media has slowly started to show it’s affects… Influencers or ‘microcelebrities’ feed into this aesthetic template. Microcelebrities are Instagram users turned digital influencers who are “well known to a niche group of people, and a practice whereby people present themselves as public personas, create affective ties with audience members, and view followers as fans” (Marwick, 2017). In this day and age morphing yourself into an online brand is now conferred to social media users as an imperative part of internet presence (Mavroudis, 2020; Robinson, 2019; Marwick, 2013). Prevalent throughout Instagram, “self-branding requires individuals to develop a distinctive public image for commercial gain and/or cultural capital” (Khamis et.al, 2016). Building upon this, key to self-branding is that just like materialistic branded products, it is advantageous for individuals to have a “unique selling point or public identity that is singularly charismatic and responsive to the needs and interests of target audiences” (Khamis et.al, 2016).  Within the microcelebrity culture, visibility tactics, also known as visibility labour, is heavily relied on to solidify the self-branding process (Mavroudis, 2020). Influencers and many users unknowingly engage in unpaid labour and personal marketing to develop their brand and compete for visibility, which is the key to acquiring status and perceived influence with an online audience (Marwick, 2013). Ultimately self-branding is a powerful strategy that is a “by-product of microcelebrity culture, which encourages users to model the brands and in effect, the aesthetic templates of popular influence” (Marwick, 2015). Aussie homegrown microcelebrities Lily Brown, Em Davies, Shani Grimmond and Tammy Hembrow are prime examples of the modern-day influencer and how they play into the narrative of aesthetic labour and pornification, contributing at large to the culture of cosmetic enhancing surgeries and the shift in attitude towards them. Aesthetic labour is enacted to embody attributes that will resonate with their followers (Dean, 2005; Witz, Warhurst & Nickson, 2003) for commercial benefit (Warhurst & Nickson, 2001). It focuses on “poses, accessories, props or superficial work on the physical body” that is visually pleasing to the human eye (Mears, 2014; Drenten & Gurrieri, 2019). Additionally, it is also characterised as being an aspect of sexualised labour (Mears, 2014; Drenten & Gurrieri, 2019) which is evident when scrolling through these women’s posts as the less clothes they have on and the more sexualised they portray themselves equates to more likes, more comments and a gain in followers. This is called ‘pornification’ which has become normalised within western societies (Tyler & Quek, 2016; Lynch, 2012; Drenten & Gurrieri, 2019) and something I see daily on my Instagram feed without batting an eyelid. The bikini shots, the lingerie shots, the strategically placed prop to cover a private part shot, it’s the new normal. The new normal way to gain attention. The discrepancy of engagement I notice almost immediately between an image of them in streetwear to an image of them in lingerie, illustrating the power of female sexualised content as a means of gaining visibility. The strategies employed above makes Instagram a place for aesthetic templates to influence body image ideals, breeding into existence the comparison trap, eating disorders, body dysmorphia and cosmetic procedure seeing behaviours (Perloff, 2013). The use of social media has been proven to directly link to the spike in demand for cosmetic surgeries (Chen, et.al, 2019), with “55% of plastic surgeons reported seeing patients who requested to improve their appearance in selfies” (Reilly & Parsa, 2019). Visual online platforms can be detrimental to the state of one’s mental health, with everyone trying to fit a template that just not everyone is genetically predisposed to. We strive for perfection polished looks, unattainable body images and the constant reminder from the fashion and beauty industry that we still don’t look good enough. It demonstrates how multifaceted and complex the relationship between visual social media and cosmetic surgery really is and how damaging the message of ‘the way you were born is not good enough’ can really be.

I have a character that is covered in scars. Is there a way that another character could have used to create scars over even sensitive areas like belly and joints without permanent effects other than the scarring? They would have access to fairly modern medical attention soon afterwards.
It isn’treally a question of modern medical attention; it’s a question of mobility.
 I can’tgive a method that would scar over joints without also seriously affecting that person’s ability to move. Just abouteverywhere else yes but-
 OK hangon, let’s look at a joint.
Tumblr media
  There aretwo major problems with introducing scar tissue. One is possible damage to the tendonsand ligaments holding the joint together. Such damage would affect the victim’sability to move but might eventually be corrected with surgery and physio.
 Thesecond problem is that scar tissue doesn’t stretch as well as normal skin. Theeffect of lots of scars is to tighten the skin. Over a joint that means makingthe skin around the joint too tight to allow free movement of the joint. As faras I know (you may want to check with ScriptMedic) treatment of something likethat is basically a skin graft. Sometimesdepending on the area, cutting out excessive scar tissue can also work.
 The only thingsthat could give you something close to the level of scarring you’re looking foris cutting, excising small portions or skin or branding. And in those cases theindividual wounds would have to be small, spaced out and not encircle any patchof skin as they are in traditional, consensual body modification practices.
 Theywould all still need to avoid some sensitive areas such as the joints,genitals, anus, eyes and lips.
 Cuttingor excision of skin on that scale would take days. It would be more timeconsuming than applying a tattoo over all of those parts of the body. (And there are issues to do with how you portray this since it is usually a consensual, cultural practice- see previous post on scarification)
 Brandingwould take slightly less time to apply, but I think you’re still looking atalmost 24 hours of application. And it would take a lot more time to set up,get equipment together or in the case of strike brands create equipment.
 If theyhave access to modern medicine soon after wards it’s less likely all theindividual wounds will form scars. Doctors are very good at reducing scarformation and while it’s more difficult in the case of branding and skinexcision it’s still not impossible.
 So yourcharacter would go through days of pain and still wouldn’t have the level ofscarring you want. Your villain would also need specialised knowledge, mightneed specialised equipment and would definitely need a place to securely holdthe victim for several days.
 There areother things that would give you large ‘hideous’ scars but what this boils downto is that scars mark past injuries and the skin is an organ.
 The levelof organ damage you’re proposing would cause problems of some description.
 I thinkthat you basically need to be a little more realistic about both the area ofskin covered and the fact that most things are going to have side effects.
 I get theimpression what you want primarily is the effect of really striking ‘horrible’scars. And scarification and branding aren’t actually the best things for that.
 If youaccept something smaller and accept that your character will have long termsymptoms then I really think acid burns would fit better as striking, large,obvious scar tissue.
 Acidthrowing doesn’t take very long. It causes a lot of damage and large areas ofscars. It can be treated but usually doctors can’t get rid of the scars orcover them completely with skin grafts.
 Even witha much smaller scar, covering say 10-20% of the body (ie most of the front ofthe torso) your character would have to deal with chronic pain, skin problemsover the affected area, mobility issues with the affected area, and probablymultiple surgeries both for cosmetic purposes and quality of life.
 If itwent anywhere near the eyes they’d be blinded. If it went near the mouth they’dneed major work in that area to be able to continue speaking and eating easily.
 If yougoogle acid throwing you’ll be able to see the resulting scars. They are prettyimpossible to miss and I do really think it’s the kind of visual effect thatwould work well in your story.
 But you’dhave to accept a smaller scarred area and significant side effects go with themethod.
 Ultimatelyit’s up to you. If the greater scarred area is more important for your story gowith branding or skin excision with the caveats I’ve suggested. If not do alittle research on acid throwing. There are a lot of survivors speakingpublically about it now, and as a result you’d be able to get a much greaterinsight into what recovery looks like and how long it takes.
 I hopethat helps.

The ‘Right to Beauty’, Cosmetic Surgery and Modern Culture.
Have you ever wondered how does culture affect cosmetic surgery? The cosmetic surgery industry is huge, that’s just a simple fact. Sought-after for more years than people realise, in the 90s it began to come to the front of consumers’s minds, before entering a massive explosion in the 00s when celebrity magazines were flying off the racks and into the 10s where the popularity of social networks has been linked to the rise in people aiming for perfection. My question today is “Do we have a right to beauty?”
While you may have thought lockdown would reduce the amount of people undergoing cosmetic surgery, it has seen a rise, as individuals saying they can recover at home from tummy tucks, lip fillers, facelifts and nose jobs or conceal their treatment behind a mask. But when it comes to surgery, whilst we once lived in a culture where it was hidden, are we becoming more open about it? And has this led to the surge?
Portrait of a young Brazilian woman.
While many people may sneer at some who go through cosmetic surgery, in Brazil, there’s a little something known as ‘a right to beauty’. This has seen cosmetic surgery cost much less to enable everybody to access these treatments and has even seen the Govt fund nearly 50 percent a million surgeries annually.
The idea of beauty being a human right can be traced right back to the 1950s when a surgeon named Ivo Pitanguy convinced then-president Juscelino Kubitschek that the right to beauty was as vital as any other health need, arguing that ugliness caused so much psychological suffering that it should be considered a humanitarian issue.
Initially, the main beneficiaries of the Right to Beauty were individuals with congenital deformities or burn victims. However, these days the majority of procedures are believed to be purely for aesthetic reasons with surgeons and residents purposely blurring the lines between reconstructive and aesthetic procedures in order to get them approved by the government.
However, these hospitals have largely become a testing ground for innovative procedures and plastic surgeons in training, essentially exposing these patients to more risks.
What is of concern is that, few regulations are in place to protect these patients from malpractice and, given they tend to be lower-income earners, it can be difficult for them to get justice if the procedure goes wrong.
In effect, patients agree to the risk of becoming experimental subjects for the exchange of potential beauty – arguably, a price too high to pay.
There have even been countless stories of Brits taking a trip to Brazil to undergo surgical treatment due to them being less expensive. But, has this culture in Brazil and the rise in people traveling there seen a move in European cultures as more and more people get surgery?
A Cultural Reset
It was documented that the greater part of those going through cosmetic surgery were of European descent. This number stands at around 69% when compared to those of Hispanic (12%), African American (8%) and Asian American (6%).
But what might have caused the rise? Well, it’s not difficult to see that social media has played a big part with many influencers choosing surgery alongside celebrities such as Kylie Jenner. And, in a world where influencers and celebrities need to be more authentic to win over audiences, it seems that even if their appearance isn’t fully their own, by being open about it makes them more relatable to those that follow them en-masse.
Therefore, it would appear that while we once lived in a culture that hid such details of a secret nose job or lip enhancement, due to our new love of social media we are much more inclined to share our experiences, or believe that we are all have a Right to Beauty, just like those in Brazil have always felt.

Women and Social Media
Women hate to talk about their physical image and probably the most is their weight and appearance. As if women’s problems couldn’t get any worse there is now this pressure to become skinny because of how media portrays women. Not only celebrities influence women to get in shape but non-celebrity social influencers as well.  Another topic would be how they should look like hence the rise in sales of cosmetics and facial surgeries today. The issues on body image in my opinion would not be this bad if it wasn’t for social media and digital marketing.
DIGITAL MARKETING
The rise of digital marketing came about because of the development in technology and the internet and its use. Although traditional marketing is still rampant today, with people using the internet it is far easier to advertise and reach out to consumers worldwide. Digital marketing has endless ways of being creating and experimenting with marketing strategies that would appeal to the audience. Meaning there are various ways for brands including emails, video, blogs and vlogs etc to expand their markets. Today, apps such as Instagram, Twitter an Youtube serve as a platform for advertisements especially through social media influencers and celebrities.
THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY        
Blogging and Vlogging paved a way for non-celebrity people to create content that would garner them followers and audiences. Youtube and Instagram became a thriving ground for influencers to produce content that people could watch and view for reviews and recommendations of products, services and places. Perhaps the most topics searched by women are on Makeup and Fitness. The beauty community has risen since the 2010’s especially when the trend of “Contouring” was made popular by Kim Kardashians makeup artist.
Tumblr media
Contouring was a makeup technique that shades and highlights parts of the face to enhance and sculpt its features. Suddenly everyone was on this makeup trend as it made faces look slimmer, photos of women came out good but it was like catfishing. When you see a girl with a whole lot of makeup and contour on social media, most of the time they don’t even look like that in person. Ever since then the various makeup techniques and trends have emerged such as the extreme Highlighted face, Glass skin (from Korea), “No makeup” makeup look etc.
As if makeup was not enough to alter your features; people who get plastic surgeries have increased. I remember watching Nathalie Paris, and American youtuber who was at the time around 15 or 16 when I started following her. She was first in denial of her surgeries done but then she admitted in a video that she got her nose done. A nose job! At 15! How crazy is that? Ever since then I have seen multiple girls under the age of 18 in America and especially in Korea getting their nose done. Korea is a whole other world when it comes to plastic surgery because parents actually encourage their kids for it!
(Nathalie Paris and her nose job)
Tumblr media
Then came the lip fillers made popular by none other than miss Kylie Jenner. She was not admitting to it at first saying that she only used lip liners and over-lined her lips and mix & matched colors. Any person who does makeup knows that what she said was lies, she then finally admits it when people started attacking her for being a liar. Soon after almost everyone in the beauty community were in the lip filler trend, then it went on to their audiences getting them too. I for one did want to hop on the trend, I told myself that when I get out of college I would try to get lip fillers. Now that I think about it though its actually pretty dumb because I don’t need it. She probably had a lot of surgeries but this was one that in my opinion has pioneered. There even was the Kylie Jenner lip challenge wherein people would stick their lips into a bottle and suck to get pouted lips after. 
Tumblr media
SKINNY IN A JIFFY?
Then we jump on the fitness trends; and by fitness I don’t mean workouts and being healthy but the massive amount of different diets and diet supplements that are advertised in social media. First there was the “Fit Tea” and other brands that came off of that. It claims that it is a fat-burning tea that would help you lose weight without having to exercise and it helps with detox as well. I remember 4th year high-school I was dumb enough to purchase one of these to help me lose weight before our graduation ball. It honestly tasted like shit! I had to drink it day and night for about a month for it to take an effect and all it did was make me poop (I’m pretty sure they have laxatives in there). It did make me lose weight but not greater than 5 pounds. I was not the only victim because since the Kardashians and other celebrity and non-celebrity influencers drink this, girls started partaking in the trend as well.
https://www.buzzfeed.com/samstryker/i-tried-kardashians-fit-tea
Tumblr media
Then there were these waist trainners. Waist trainners or corsets have been around since the Victorian era but it was made popular again by the 2010’s to get that “snatched” waist. Women posted on social media working out wearing this so that their mid-section would get slimmer faster. And this was another trend that I was stupid enough to try. My friend had one and I tried it, I hated it in an instant because I felt like it was squeezing the life out of me! Good thing that this trend is not as popular today as it was before.
WHY DO WOMEN DO THIS?
Perhaps the main reason why women do this is to be accepted in society and its standards for them. Another is to get men’s attention and affection. It is not a lie that women carry a heavier burden on having to achieve the perfect body to fit the standards of men. Today men are being accepted whether they have perfectly chiseled abs or a “dad bod” but women are being pressured to lose weight and have perfect body, skin etc. Even with the rise of body positivity and “fat acceptance” women are still getting shamed for this because they are now standing up and proud of what they look like and who they are. Trends that I aforementioned are just some of the things that have shaped the way women (and men) think of what they should look like today.
Tumblr media
It’s crazy how even teens and young girls want to look a certain way or develop body image issues at such a young age because of how social media and influences works. The rise of social media is not stopping at any moment especially with the continuous growth of technology as well. Perhaps what we can do is to raise awareness and try to stop the stereotypes of women in media and how they should look like. This is a problem that not only women can solve among themselves but they need the help and acceptance of others as well.

Face Lacerations – Houston Car Accident Lawyers
Face Lacerations – Houston Car Accident Lawyers
Whenever you are involved in a car accident in Houston, it is a boon to come out alive. But a lot of accident victims suffer disfiguring injuries. For instance, if your airbag failed to deploy during a car accident and you also struck the steering wheel, you might be suffering from severe facial lacerations and bruising. This could necessitate cosmetic surgery to repair any disfigurement as much as possible.
THE RUNDOWN ON FACIAL LACERATIONS FROM CAR ACCIDENTS Facial lacerations are usually more of a concern to patients compared to lacerations on different areas of the body for cosmetic reasons. A laceration on the facial skin is conspicuous and patients may be more embarrassed than with other body components. This is different from a severe laceration that leaves a scar but on part of the human body can the individual can easily conceal, like the abdomen or thigh.
Lacerations can occur on various areas of the face, and repair of and care for your cut can vary depending upon where on the face that the laceration occurred. Facial lacerations can happen on the lips, forehead, eyebrows, nose, checks, eyelids, chin, and jawline. Treatment may also vary based upon the severity and deepness of this cut.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPAIR FACIAL LACERATIONS AND HOW LONG DO THEY TAKE TO HEAL? Facial lacerations could cost a significant quantity of money to fix. Patients might have to pay thousands of dollars or even more in medical bills. Mostly, this is because a lot of folks don’t desire highly visible scars in their face, and often opt for cosmetic surgery or other treatments to avoid facial scarring as best they could.
The techniques and remedies for facial lacerations differ greatly–from surgery to sutures to constant home treatments–and therefore it is difficult to say precisely how much facial laceration repair could price.
Likewise, until a facial laceration is examined by a physician, it is tough to tell how long it is going to take a facial laceration to cure. Based on where the facial laceration is located on the face and how deep the cut is, curing time may fluctuate greatly. Some folks, though, still have scarring in the facial lacerations, even though the intent of surgeries and treatments is to decrease the appearance of scarring.
Additionally, other complications may arise from a facial laceration. For example, a hematoma can form if blood collects. This could result in a deformity in some cases. Dressing that is placed correctly may help prevent a hematoma from occurring. At times, if a facial laceration occurs on soft tissue of the face, such as the lips, and if the cut is modest enough, a patient will not receive operation or sutures, but instead the laceration is left to heal by itself.
CAN I RECOVER COMPENSATION FOR FACIAL LACERATIONS CAUSED BY A CAR ACCIDENT? Lots of people involved with car accidents that incur facial lacerations have a lot of medical bills to attend and remedies to go through. In Texas, injury victims may recover damages for medical bills through personal injury protection, but the coverage is often limited to $2,500.00. Everything you’ll need to do is reach out to an attorney to secure compensation from the other party in the kind of automobile liability bodily injury insuranceplan.
Accident victims may also be able to file a liability claim or a lawsuit against another driver to recoup damages for medical bills, lost wages while recovering, pain and distress, and much more.

Scars
This past weekend I got another skin graft, one of many I've had over the years. For those who don't really know what that is, its the removal of skin from one area of the body to another. It's a type of surgery to help areas of the body that have had open wounds or burns. I feel like most people are familiar with burn victims getting skin grafts, or maybe even people with skin cancer.
Well mine are from open wounds and as you can imagine it's not fun in any way. Not that having your skin peeled off only to put it somewhere else is fun in the first place. Regardless, it’s something I need done. Lately, it's become more cosmetic simply to make the deep scarring I have on my body to be less visible. For that reason alone I actually look forward to the surgeries now.
There is nothing more frustrating in my life then to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, only to be reminded that my body has figuratively been to hell and came back with proof in the form of body scarring. I'll be honest if I wore a long sleeve shirt and pants there's no way you'll notice any of my surgeries, but if you saw me naked my body would definitely make you raise your eyebrows. And, probably not in a good way.
The thing about this skin graft though that got me excited is I wasn't donating to myself. Thanks to my dad's research - oh he's a doctor by the way- along with some other older studies, with dead donor people's skin being used for burn victims. His research makes it so you don't need much to reproduce skin cells, or something like that. I don't really understand it all, I just know I don't have to get my own body cut up for it. I was assured I wasn't using some donor person's skin either, it was just skin created from my own skin cells. I don't know if I’m making any sense at the moment. so, I'll end this here.
What I'm getting at though is this. I wish I could do all the skin repair at once. I would like to one day wear a bathing suit again. Also I wonder, if after someone saw me naked would they still like me or just be grossed out.
