#tweakments

I hate hate hate celebrities who lie about having had work done! 😡

As someone who's educated on this topic, it is VERY easy to see which celebrities have had certain procedures done (i.e. filler, Botox, facelifts, lids, rhinoplasty, etc.)

**😒looking at you, Ms. Kate "I haven't had anything done" Beckinsale (Botox, filler, brow lift, rhino), and Ms. Cindy "Buy my magic melon face cream" Crawford (brow lift, lower bleph, neck lift and/or full facelift, Botox, filler)**

They only get away with their bold faced lies because people don't know what to look for.

Example: THIS is an upper blepharoplasty procedure (upper lid lift) on me.

It creates more upper eyelid space, taking the lids from more hooded, to more open. It is done under twilight sedation, in about 30 minutes.

TONS of celebrities have had this done. The most ridiculously obvious are:

Taylor Swift

Jennifer Lawrence

Hailey Bieber

Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Blake Lively

Margot Robbie

Ariana Grande

I could go on and on, but the moral of the story is: if a celebrity is looking different and claiming having had nothing done, chances of that being true are less than 5%. And if they're admitting to one or two things (Bella Hadid, Megan Fox), they've almost certainly had more than they're admitting.

To be clear: I ADORE PLASTIC SURGERY. I just abhor people lying about it and pretending they didn't pay the big bucks for their looks. It's not fair to make people think this is how humans naturally look.

It'll never not be astounding to me how Cass in his current, Red Wayfarer form (there's a bleached, proto Cass who was blonde, pale and without freckles, v strange) has existed since June or July I think and in the span of less than a year he's occupied so much of my brain space and creativity

He's really such A Guy™ huh

“I was at the supermarket, picking up some little pre-mixed martinis to enjoy in the sun, when I sensed the store manager hovering behind me. “Got any ID for that?” he asked, sighing protractedly. I didn’t. “But I’m 30 years old,” I said, motioning towards my face. “See? 30.” He laughed as if I were an over-confident sixth grader trying my luck. “Yeah, I don’t think so,” he said, scooping up the cans. “Sorry, no can do.”

Right then I felt like kicking over a nearby cereal display, spilling Shreddies everywhere. Think I’m a teenager? Watch me act like one, then. But I’m 30, so…my impulse control kicked in.

People love to say “consider it a compliment!” when you get mistaken for someone a lot younger, but I don’t at this point. I graduated from college nearly 10 years ago. I’ve worked as a journalist and editor for almost as long, been in multiple relationships, and navigated intense life experiences. I own a Hetty hoover. I’ve published a book. I remember AOL! When someone says I look younger than I am, what I really hear is: None of that counts. I still don’t take you seriously. Not that people in their 20s don’t get taken seriously, but I’m a different person to who I was at 24, 25, even 26. I want that to show, externally.

I don’t think I actually look physically younger than 30. But—like other millennials—I possibly give off a younger “energy.” My arms are covered in stick ’n’ pokes from my 20s. I look at ease in a cozy hoodie and low-slung jeans. Plus, I barely scrape 5’2”. The way I speak and hold myself hasn’t changed much in the past few years. And I’m not alone in this: my friends, who are broadly the same age as me, could easily be five years younger. My fiancée is a full-time musician with bleached blonde hair and a penchant for motocross jackets. As a kid, I didn’t picture 30 looking like this. My high school teachers were 30. We definitely look different from them. We act differently from them, too.

Much has already been said about millennials’ inability to “grow up.” We’re lambasted for not owning homes or having kids soon enough (who can do either of those things unless you have a hefty two-income household and/or an inheritance?). We’re living with friends and roommates like overgrown students for a lot longer (plenty of my single friends can’t afford to live alone). And things like marriage, or toiling away in the same career, appear to have lost their shine for many. Even so, that doesn’t explain why we don’t always look like the 30-somethings of yesteryear—or why I can’t get served a pink martini in my local supermarket.

I’m not the only person to be mulling this over. TikTok is overrun with videos about why millennials don’t seem to be aging “normally” (“why don’t millennials age?” currently has around 19.4 million views on TikTok). Some have hypothesized that it’s because “tweakments” like filler and botox are cheaper and more widely available now. Others have joked that it’s because millennials “have depression, so we’re indoors all day, and we don’t let the sunlight age our skin.” Still others have wondered whether it’s due to camera phones, and the fact that we see ourselves more often than ever before, meaning we pay more attention to our looks and outfits. Or maybe we are aging normally, we just don’t think we are, so we don’t act like it.

There are likely countless reasons for this time-body-mind warp. One of my personal theories is that our image of a “real adult” is simply outdated, and fails to take more recent style and culture shifts into account. Your parents and grandparents didn’t post photo dumps, wear athleisure in the workplace, or DM their colleagues “lmao” in their 30s. But frames of reference evolve constantly, and that’s what 30-somethings are like now. You don’t just suddenly get a cropped haircut and start saying the word “trendy” as you age. We’re stuck with an image of a 30-something that is no longer relevant. I’m sure Gen X—the Britpop kids, the ravers—didn’t always resemble dads. It must have taken a moment to catch up.

Before I continue, I must add: I’m well aware that age is mostly meaningless, and that attaching labels to a person based on an arbitrary yearly marker is a disservice to their individualism. I know that most people don’t actually “feel” their age, because they just feel like themselves (same here). And I am so much more interested in a person’s mind than how old they are. But that doesn’t mean I am not intrigued and curious about how I appear to others now that I’m in my 30s. I find myself fearful of becoming a Benjamin Button-like character—like when you google a child actor and they look the same as an adult, just weird and with facial hair. Are millennials like child actors? Stuck, and frozen in time, forever?

One of the most frightening things about existing is that the world keeps spinning and time keeps hurtling onwards. Stop, you feel like protesting, I’m not ready yet, I’m not ready. But the universe does not hear you, and it doesn’t care anyway. That’s the great tragedy and gift of living. We all move forward. And one day soon, Gen Z will wake up and they will be middle-aged, and Gen Alpha will have children of their own, and their grandparents will not be wearing slacks and cardigans and taping money to Christmas cards. They’ll be wearing Juicy Couture and Post Malone Crocs and sending skull emoji reacts to their grandkids’ messages.“

I’m genuinely fascinated to see what will happen to all these influencers and celebrities who are getting constant procedures and ‘tweakments’ in the next few decades as they age.

Yes because I want to see how getting all these actually very serious changes made will affect how their faces look as they age but also because I am starting to believe that there will be some very real negative consequences when it comes to their actual health.

Someone mentioned to me that their father was an ophthalmologist who regularly performs blepharoplasty procedures (or an eye lift) on older patients whose skin sag around their eyes was interfering with their vision. This was in the context of Ariana Grande getting her, uh…..new look, a while ago (think the race change, Asian bait jokes, especially focused on the change in her eyes). Her father was horrified that someone in their late 20’s at the time would be getting this procedure.

The younger you are when you get something done, the more maintenance will need to be done throughout your life to maintain the ‘look’. So getting an eye lift so young with no real medical reason means you will have to get that procedure redone periodically to maintain it. He said the likelihood that something will become misaligned within the eye structure is high, and very possible that as they age their upper and lower eyelids will no longer align properly leading to chronic dry eye and other complications.

That’s just one procedure too. What about the 19 year olds getting ‘preventative Botox’ (do NOT do this btw), what about the overfilling of skin, what about the constant pulling and stretching of skin with brow lifts and face lifts and every other kind of lift (does it get thinner?? More fragile over time?). Whats going to be the long term health consequences of all this??

If you’re someone with knowledge about this please share with me, I’m genuinely very interested and would like to know more.

I really don't think I've ever seen Meghan look so bad, and that includes that horrific Invictus red dress horror show. Is there something wrong with her? I don't get it, I thought money was supposed to make you more attractive. We know she's been having 'tweakments', so what's going on?

Desperate. Meltdown. Money problems.

one day we’re going to look back on the current liberal encouragement and practice of aesthetic surgeries and “tweakments” with the same horror that we now regard the ED culture of the 2000s

Can you describe Alajos‘ mom look and style?

She’s stylish, but in a very classic, conservative sort of way. Lots of crisp cuts and modest tailoring. She likes to go in for elements of the traditional, and makes a point of wearing a hem of regional lace or a touch of folk embroidery, but this is quite common in Hungary these days, I think. Alajos’ mother isn’t especially young, but she keeps her age very well—I think she has some treatments and tweakments, but they’re incredibly subtle, and really she just looks refreshed—and she doesn’t bother at all with trends; she wears her hair dark and relatively severe, usually pinned up when she’s home in the city, though on holiday now, she wears it loose. I really don’t think that she’s a model for the trophy wife or anything like that; she’s arguably from an even better family than Alajos’ father, and she styles herself in a way that actively rejects the stereotype over here.

It's literally nataly I don't get how people don't understand that influencers have tweakments and don't look like their original selves plus the filters.

It's- Okay so this is going to sound really horrible, but I just need to come out and say it.

I can't look at pictures of Ariana Grande for too long because her face freaks me out.

Like full uncanny valley, can't look at her for too long because it makes my skin crawl, freaks me out.

I think it's because I watched her on Victorious as a kid, and she's had multiple plastic surgeries/tweakments to change various things about her face, especially the fact that she's had more than one surgery to change her eyelid shape.

As a human being who's seen how other human beings age, it's very easy to tell that the face Ariana has now isn't what her face would naturally look like, and it just sets off alarm bells in the most animal part of my brain.

Anyways my sister says that Ariana makes everyone feel this way, because she's changed her face so much publicly but I don't think that's true because it seems like there are tons of people who don't have this reaction.

And just to be clear I'm not saying I think she's ugly, I don't, if I'm going to be objective about it her face is beautiful.

But if I'm also going to be honest about it, it gives me the creeps because the part of my brain trained to recognize faces insists that her face doesn't look like her face.

Because it kind of doesn't anymore.
