Gen Z: The Generation Of Body Alteration?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- My social media feeds are filled with women getting every kind of injection filler, and surgery to alter appearances. What was once a secretive and less talked about phenomenon is becoming increasingly popular and normalized in our generation. Is social media to blame for this rise in plastic surgery?

A generation so focused on body positivity, yet so insecure about their own looks that plastic surgery becomes the short term solution to the problem 🤔
Body positivity, especially fat positivity, is often a result of insecurity. Gen Z is full of insecurities.
If they keep that up we're gonna end up in times where even draneys from WoW will no longer be fictional beings.I hope they won't cry about "lack of representaion".
Alleged PROBLE.M manipulated reaction alleged solution. Clean the inside of the cup. What both sides are promoting, proposing, isnt human. Antichrist.
Funny how people say awful things about overweight people and there are people getting plastic surgery to look perfect
Such a true statement
The generation that insists that "everybody is perfect the way they are"
Ironic, huh?!
My generation is a bunch of hypocrites
Sounds like body positivity movement was out for dinner when such statement was made.
@Elaina Mendez It really is ironic, they love to sugar coat some words to make someone better but even themselves can’t take their own advise
"perfect the way you are, but change everything about yourself"
It should be "everybody is perfect the way they came out from under the surgeon's knife"
I remember when plastic surgery was taboo,now you can mention Botox and no one raises an eye brow!
haha literally.. no literally they can’t raise their eyebrows cus of the botox
Hahahaha! What a good one!!!😂
@@karinaw4585 😂
I remember when people would shame others for having plastic surgery and people wouldn’t mention getting it because of the shame, but now society is normalizing this shit
LMAO
I’m small chested, and was always self conscious about it. However, I was successfully able to nurse 3 children for 12-15 months each, and they were all healthy and thriving. Having children gave me such a deep appreciation for my body in ways that plastic surgery never would have done.
Yes!!!^^^
That's great! Boob size has nothing to do with the ability to feed children. No one is sure why larger breasts developed in women, but it was almost certainly due to superficial reasons instead of practical reasons.
@@CheeseBae That's not really true, but I get your point.
Amazing
That’s beautiful to hear ❤️
As a 25 year-old, I am only now starting to feel confident in my body. I’m finally starting to leave the awkward young-adult phase where I didn’t feel quite like I fit into my body. Social media absolutely is feeding into this and it’s so sad, especially when a lot of the women who have plastic surgery ALSO USE FILTERS AND PHOTOSHOP. And it’s lazy. Don’t like the size of your butt? Instead of working on yourself either mentally or physically like going to the gym and building muscle, they jump into surgery.
I am a 6' 5" guy and have never understood why people want to be tall. Once you get so tall it becomes incredibly difficult to find clothing that fits (clothing companies assume everyone just gets wider not taller), you deal with constant neck and back pain from having to look down at everything and people CONSTANTLY staring at you. I don't wish to be shorter cause this is how I was made to be. When it comes to looks people need to accept who they are and stop changing their image to please others.
Getting laid, feeling like a man. You problems seem trvial compared to the upside
If you are a short man a lot of women won't even look at you, a woman can see your face or photos in a dating app, talk to you for hours, call you, be super into you...but the moment you mention you are slightly less tall than she assumed (yet still taller than her) she gets drier than old nancy.
Having said that, I do love being comfortable (ish) in airplanes and I'm pretty sure I require less food to stay alive lol
I’m 6’1” and I hope I don’t get taller, I have friends close to your height in their early 20s and they already getting back problems. It ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
As I said in another comment, I was a 5'1.5" woman at my max. I get a sore neck looking up when speaking to people! Sometimes I think I just need to find a step stool!
Bruh this is like a rich person saying I never understand why people want to be rich. You have never had to deal with the problems of being short so of course you don't understand. Doesn't mean there is no reason that short people want to be taller.
I remember some girl told me that I was beautiful and that I was so lucky to be pretty.
She did effin plastic surgery. She was so beautiful before the surgery now she looks like my sleep paralysis demon. I'm just 12 and I feel so tired of this generation. Thank you, Brett, for fixing my sight of the world and making me realize what is wrong and what's right.
Wait ... was this girl your age or older??????? I follow a girly on RUclips who was such a natural beauty but then she started doing all the fillers in the world ... she looked like a pufferfish after and completely ruined her face. Don't do anything to your face!
Girl, 12??? Props to you for realizing that so young! Stay safe, it's rough out here ❤
I remember also a case of girl who was absorbed wit her looks that much that she spent hours before mirror doing make-up and thus missing school dayily.
Kudos to you, kid. Recognize your own worth, and help others realize theirs. You're on a good path.
My dear, you are beautiful. You don't need plastic surgery at all.
The grossest part to me is that people have shamed me for saying that it's not good for your mental health to get cosmetic procedures like this done, that's how deep the brainwashing has gotten. I always hear the argument that it's empowering for women to fix their insecurities, but that in and of itself is such an insecure perspective. The empowering thing to do would be to accept your flaws and love yourself anyway. Unless in the case of some sort of disfigurement, I don't think people should be getting any plastic surgery done to themselves. It not only affects their own self perception, but it also affects the self perception of others, especially young girls.
I appreciate you talking about this topic. I always see a lot of young female viewers in your comment section, and they really need to hear what you're saying. From a 26 year old woman, it does get better! We all hated our bodies growing up, it is perfectly normal and you don't need to change your body to be beautiful.
46 here … and what you said is true!! You are stronger when you persevere and learn to love how God made you. It’s also empowering to know being all natural helps the next generation of girls to know that they are enough as is❤
To each their own, of course. I am thankful to a friend I had when i was in my 20s (she was in her 30s) who asked me, “Do you really want to look like everyone else?”, when I mentioned wanting a nose job. That stuck and made me think more about valuing my uniqueness vs trying to conform for approval.
Some days I look at myself and think I’m the ugliest person in the world. Then other days I feel absolutely gorgeous. That’s just being a girl. Deal with it
Im a dude and I’ve definitely experienced that. It’s being human…
As a dude, 100% the same here. Today i feel ugly af, yesterday i felt hot as hell
Nice to know it’s guys too lol
you're a hawt ghost!
@@LuckyGhoul 100%
and this is why I am scared to raise children into this world. first it's genders now it's height?? why can't everyone just live and be happy with themselves! it is literally so socially pushed
Height operations like these have been around several years, we just see it on social media now
@@Pikawarpsyh
I think just be a good parent and you wouldn't have to worry about that. My parents did a good job getting us away from this kind of bullshit
this world? only in “america”
we asians are safe here.
I saw a video of a girl who completly changed my view about myself. She said : Your body is a trend. Literally. One day, slim bodies are trendy, the other day is being curvy. On day, big lips are gross, than the day after everybody wants big lips. Straight hairs one day, curvy hair the next. It's changing everyday. So what are you gonna do ? Make plastic surgeries for the rest of your life, because you'll still hate yourself later since the trends will be changing and you'll need to change again, or will you finally try to love yourself and not suffer for the rest of your live ? Is it worth it for temporary feeling beautiful ? When you can feel beautiful everyday if you learn to love yourself
I watched a video made by a plastic surgeon who was reviewing another video by a women who was talking about the plastic surgery trends in South Korea. One of the interviews was with a lady who is a hostess and she has had so many surgeries to keep her face trendy. It is so sad what some people feel they need to do.
@@moonbuni59 exactly, that's a really good example
Can't wait for short ugly dudes to be trending
It’s true. Think about it, back in the 1800s, it was fashionable for women to be more on the plump side because men saw this as women being more fertile. That is why, when you look at paintings of women from the 1800s, they are all plump.
It's best to not take orders from indecisive people. And clout chasers.
I had a relatively large nose for my face when I was in middle school. I was always insecure about it, even in high school. I'm 26 now and I love my nose. It's strong, unique, and it fits my face. I feel a sense of resonance with it because it's mine and only mine. The saddest part about plastic surgery is that it standardizes the look of humanity. It literally mitigates what makes you look like you. There's something inherently spiritual about the faces and body types we are born into. It's like they are symbolic of who we are. And yet some people call altering (and often harming) them self-love. It's ass-backwards.
I’m in my 40’s and I live in a state that does way too much plastic surgery and I know tons of women who are having to get explant surgery because their breast implants have been making them so sick for years. I’m so glad I never fell for that.
Sounds like Cali. I am in Cali and we have more plastic walking around then the dang ocean. Lol
I have cerebral palsy and I had to have hamstring lengthening and knee Encapsulation surgery when I was 17. Somehow the pre-op nurse didn’t realize that I didn’t have a meeting about what to expect after surgery and what kind of physical therapy I would need. Let me just say I went through hell for months after my surgery, physically and mentally. My surgery was a necessity to help me walk and to prevent other health issues from happening in the future. I don’t understand why people want to be cut open and go through all the pain just for looks.
I hose you are doing better now.
You are literally me. I have cp too. I had to have my hamstrings lengthened when I was 11 (my fault cause I didn't want to exercise). Recovery wasn't horrible, but still so inconvenient. Even so, I learned from a very early age because of my disability to be content with the body God has given me. These other people are modifying themselves like nobody's business, and they're miserable. Better to be happy with what you have
@@mesamom62 I am, thank you.
@@sarram143 I completely agree!
I have mild CP and I had to have heel cord and hamstring lengthening on both legs at around 11 too. Learning how to walk with groin-high casts as a preteen was fun 😅
I don’t understand these people 😂
I wrote a research paper about this topic for my English class back in CC. It's honestly so sad and terrible. There is a really strong correlation between snapchat filters/filters in general with young women. It isn't surprising if you think about it though. GenZ is probably the only generation that grew up with a device that offered them a distorted/"better" view of their faces (small noses, flawless skin, no wrinkles, bigger eyes, etc.). I'm honestly so glad I didn't have a smartphone until I was 17 (back in like 2012). Def know my future kids aren't having access to this kind of tech until their brains are more developed smh
It’s so true… It’s like it’s not acceptable to go through a weird awkward stage anymore. It’s normal to not feel amazing when you’re 15. It doesn’t mean you should start getting surgery. At least wait until you’re an adult and have lived in your body for a while.
The clinic I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed at also did plastic surgery. I didn’t realize that until I was sitting in a room, waiting for the surgeon, and facing a wall detailing why you needed every one of these surgeries. I sat there feeling more and more insecure about my own face, and I was in my 30s at the time! It’s no wonder teens and young women feel insecure about their own features when they’re bombared with those messages daily!
And this is why as a 24 year old who remembers the horrors of public school, social media, and my peers…. I homeschool my littles and have no regrets
I hear so much about homeschooling in the US, public schools must be a war zone there.
@@calistafalcontailoh boy coming from a public school student who switched to homeschool you have no idea
Kids still need public exposure to be able to make good decisions
Anyone remember the show the Littles?
@@EVA-ki5vw But does this have to be at school? I dont know, most people started making bad decisions because they were to impressionable and got messed up by the things that were around them in bad schools. Sometimes promising kids (decent, smart, willing to learn) really get held back by bad schools. I have seen it with the kid of a friend of mine. The last thing he needed was this "public exposure"...he needed to get away from all the crappy teens around him and boom...graduated with amazing marks. Before that he was told he would barely finish school. You can get public exposure in sport clubs, youth organisations etc. in a better way I think.
I remember when "body alteration" or as it was called back then "body modification" meant getting a tattoo or a body piercing. Sure, plastic surgery has always been a thing as well, but this kind of insanity wasn't a thing. I've got plenty of tattoos and want more, but christ in heaven, this is absurd.
@@Itugen88 Yup. What's truly sad about it is, the same people doing this kind of shit are the exact same people that will sit there and scream at the top of their lungs that everyone should love themselves no matter what. It's actually absurd. The cognitive dissonance is endless. And for me, the tattoos is a journey. All of my tattoos have meaning to me, even the very first one I got when I was 18. As time has passed, each additional piece of artwork has had even more significant meaning to me and is almost like a story of where I came from and where I've been, the situations that have made me into the man I am today. Have I changed in the course of all that time? Absolutely. But unlike so many people who get inked and then come to regret it, I have no regrets for any of mine because every one is a reminder of a part of my life that was very significant to me.
i am still in school but when i am older and have kids i WILL homeschool because of how scary our world is now i wouldnt want to influence my kids with that type of people. thank you brett for your videos i love them and your amazing!!!
Just make sure you choose the right man. Being a stay at home mom is a very vulnerable position and if you end up with the wrong person it could be totally miserable, but choose a good man and it is very fulfilling. You can learn about body language, deception detection, narcissistic tendencies and behavior patterns to identify and AVOID manipulative narcissists. 🚩
Good luck 💕
God bless and be strong, my son is 1 and Me and my wife are absolutely homeschooling
More power to you kid
yeah agreed im 12
@@zarahsgarden2097 yes! i would love to have a job too its one thing ive always dreamed of! ive been dating people as a young age (now) so i can learn all the red flags before i get into a serious one as an adult! and i hope you stay safe too
I would tell any man or woman considering this for cosmetic reasons, DO NOT DO IT! I had this done on my left femur when I was a child because a car accident damaged my left leg to the point it wasn't growing as fast as my right. I had a 7 1/2 cm lengthening so I wouldn't have a permanent limp, and it was a year long process. Not to mention, the most excruciating pain I ever endured. Now I do have even legs which I'm thankful for but risks include infections (which became almost life threatening) scarring, nerve damage, and muscle damage. It is NOT WORTH IT!
I feel so sorry for some of these young people they haven't even given themselves time to grow into the bodies they have. They haven't taken time to find the right people who appreciate them the way they are.
Growing up, I absolutely hated my nose, my freckles, and the weird color of my eyes. I was relentlessly teased for these things. And then in college, I met a guy who told me my nose was adorable, My freckles were so cute, and He told me he loved my hazel eyes. We've been married 16 yrs now.
The problem wasn't my looks it was the people I was around. When I found my people everything changed.
I knew a girl who had a breast surgery back in high school. It was a reduction. Her back was messed up from having an abnormally large bust.
That’s the only time it makes sense to me….
Why take the risk of surgery and go through the crap and the cost to change what isn’t wrong, unless it’s for health reasons (which means something’s wrong!)
Or they had a accident
EVERY medical reason is why help should always be provided but these TikTok body part trend people tend to forget that every surgery comes with problems or at least a changed body forever. It's not that you make snip snip and everything is like before. You get scars etc.
Same,like weight loss skin removal,breast cancer reconstruction,broken nose reconstruction,accidents,scar removal ect.
Exactly. I've been considering a breast reduction since high school, although I may wait until after I have kids so I don't have to do it twice. It's a medical reason. At 20, I'm already having back and shoulder pains, especially when I don't sleep quite right. It sucks. The one thing that is nice about it is that I'm generally pretty curvy, at least as of right now, and my chest and stomach look about even. I'd rather have a bigger stomach and big boobs than just a bigger stomach and no boobs. It doesn't look right.
Yes, I was just thinking this. Breast reduction, medical procedures that aren’t because you want to look “pretty” when you have no deformities or any real reason to change yourself, are the only acceptable surgery reasons. Everything else…
I went to high school with girls who got plastic surgery and fillers. The filler girl told me she gets her lips done once a week. I found this out during graduation but she could've been getting them at an earlier age for all I know. The girl who got plastic surgery got a rhinoplasty when she was 16. I understand getting this kind of surgery because of a deviated septum or other medical issues, but I'm convinced that it was pure self-consciousness and vanity that caused her to change her nose forever.
Thank you so much for talking about this, and thank you for not getting a nose job! The more people get nose jobs the more a regular nose looks “too big” or “weirdly shaped”, and then people with larger noses look even more “different” and the insecurities just never end 🙄🤦♀️noses of all shapes and sizes are beautiful!! Same goes for all the other features and procedures. And if everyone gets plastic surgery everyone just looks identical, and that would be truly disgusting 😳 Variety is beautiful, individuality is beautiful! We as a culture seem to support that idea when it comes to skin tones(as we should) so why not all other natural features???
Some of us even prefer the unique look that others consider unattractive and are attracted to people who stand out in some way.
Peer pressure really does influence people, I am young but I have learnt to love myself but I do get pressured. I’m glad there are people like Brett out here pointing these things out. X
I had a huge breast growth spurt in the 4th grade. When all my friend were still in training bras and just wore them because they wanted to be “cool” I HAD TOO. I was so uncomfortable in my body until junior/senior year. I asked for a breast reduction and my pet eta said no. 35 now and so glad I kept them
No way Brett!!! You are so naturally beautiful and your nose is perfect for your face. So glad you didn’t let peer pressure push you into making permanent changes that you don’t need
I’m 13 and kept off of every social media app (besides yt) and I am very thankful for my parents for that and homeschooling me ❤🙏🏻 and as a awkward teenage girl I have insecurities abt a lot of things but they will change and I’m still young so i shouldn’t worry about how I look
Hi a 23 old boy here , who is kinda in the same situation, I am good at academics and I always thought subjective beauty is superior; but I quickly realized that the world really doesn’t care about your personality. I would not say that you make it your insecurity but rather work on your insecurities. Remember nice personality traits are very hard to come by they are very hard to cultivate. But when you work on yourself and you have the objective beauty; the world becomes even more easier. Work on yourself and remember even though you’re 13, you having the sense of what is wrong and what kills your confidence is the fact that you’re much more mature than others kids who are playing with barbiedolls and video games. Just use your energy wisely to cultivate your emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
You're on a great track @IzzaStyle
My husband works with four of five nurses in their early twenties and I worked with a similar age range and they ALL are getting work done. Preventative Botox is now done at 19-23 here in Australia. My brother's girlfriend (29) gets it too. Idk it just seems a) unnatural as heck which generally isn't good for you, b) like a rejection of the reality of your mortality and c) like a reflection upon an image-focussed society that thinks looks matter more than a good character (spoilers: they don't by the time you're a grandma).
I was severely bullied all throughout my life and school (by family, by close friends, by students) for my giant “hump” nose (it was…large, to say the least - those Italian genes really came through lol) and I made the decision to have a rhinoplasty at the age of 23 in 2017. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made, truly. I feel more like myself, more confident, and oddly enough I feel like once I had it done I actually started “living” - if that makes sense. I was crippled by judgement and embarrassment, and facial dysmorphia. I always feared meeting new people or potential romantic relationships. Honestly it changed more than people realize - sometimes a surgery is more than just a cosmetic thing. That’s my own perspective on it, however. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions 🖤
I think the most justified surgery is a nose job. I understand that, cause noses are more important that b00bs and butts. Everyone sees noses, but not everyone looks (or touches, hopefully) at your butt. So yeah I see a nose job being done, cause you can't hide that
@@-ANONYMOUS- my nose salutes you 🫡
I am 18 and I want a nose job too because my nose is huge and i am very insecure about it
But why give into the societal pressure of small noses only being attractive? You’re part of the problem. These nose jobs make everyone look the same, and it’s not a good thing
i've also been insulted on my nose and i'm so insecure about it that whenever i walk past people in public i cover my face because i feel so humiliated. i want a nose job but i don't have the money, and i can't even get a job because of the way i look and because of my social anxiety disorder. so i have no idea what i'm going to do.
As much as inner confidence is super important; the fact is society (nowadays) treat short men like trash
There’s a British show on Tubi I’ve been watching called Bodyshockers and the amount of people regretting these modifications well into their 30’s and above is unreal. It’s sad. Although this has been an issue ever since I was born and I am 32. People want to look picture perfect and they’ll go to great lengths to get there.
im a 23 year old guy and 5'4 height when i was 18 and 19 i wanted to be taller and used to do sports that concern with height and i remember seeing one video about self confidence and stopped doing those sports and now im great with how i am and seeing this king of things from guys its just sad that they don't love who they are and how they are
Also when Brett said about "short kings",there actually were literal short Kings in history ,and furthermore - they rocked.
Nerve damage is insaaaanely painful. Would never do that on purpose...
Single-handedly convinced me not to get a nose job, I appreciate you going over this topic! 💕
Omg, Brett. I've been trying to share my nose job story too to relate to this. I wound up getting the medical stuff done, but no cosmetic change at all. And I think it speaks to A LOT these days. Thanks for all your hard work and content. I'm a former left, running, not walking to normalcy.
Lol i'm also thinking of having a nose job too
@@robin-hr7tc I don't regret not doing the cosmetic part!!! I do ABSOLUTELY breathe better than I ever have now though!! 😂😂😂
Body dysmorphia is a mental illness, Ladies. You are beautiful just as the Lord intended.
Not guys apparently
Age definitely gives you a new perspective on yourself and your own appearance. I'm turning 26 and I no longer feel self conscious about my nose, hooded eyes, and chubby cheeks. I've seen enough trends come and go to know they don't last forever and this one too will pass.
Hearing that you used to be insecure of your height and being too skinny made me feel a certain way, I’ve struggled with both of those insecurities as well as my nose so I’m glad to see I’m not the only one
HEY BRETT loove you what an amazing influence you have on our generation!!
I'm 29 and I never want to get plastic surgery. Not only is it expensive, but I feel like it ages some people. For others it looks great, but it can become an addiction and you keep getting more and more until you've done too much. You are beautiful exactly as you are and don't let anyone take that way from you!
How are you This mature at the age of 22? It took me so many years to get to where you're at. I still struggle and I'm just in awe of your awareness. Thank you for sharing with so many young girls that they don't have to do anything drastic to themselves Because they're created beautifully
Mid 20s are not children. Typically,
People in their mid 20s to late 20s do this. Your brain is fully developed at 25. So they aren't children. 0-24 are kids, not 25+.

When I was in high school I wanted a breast augmentation so bad!!! Had I had the money at 18 I would have gotten it with no questions. However, at about 22 or so I started to not only accept my smaller boobs but appreciate them. I am not 33 and am SO happy I never got it! I didn’t just accept my small boobs, I love them. It fits my body for what it is. Had I got breast implants it would look so weird compared to the rest of my body. It took some time, but I learned to love my body the way it was made.
Also, I hated my nose growing up too! Brett and I have almost the same nose. I didn’t ever think about a nose job because it wasn’t as normal as implants. But again, I now love my nose!
I had the same procedure done that the man in the first video got. The correct term is distraction lengthening. I had them done on my two metacarpal bones on my hands (both left and right) because they were half the size they were supposed to be. Despite the fact that it’s considered a cosmetic surgery, the bone deformities in my hands caused me a lot of pain and reduced my grip strength tremendously. So mine was considered a surgery that would help me function better. However it was by far the most painful two years of my life and would never want anybody to go through what that guy went through or what I did

That limb lengthening surgery freaked me out. I had a total knee replacement in 2000. I went back to work and began to have excessive pain. I had a septic knee joint and had to have dozens of surgeries and ended up with a fused knee joint Please don't do unnecessary surgery.
I've always said that not everybody is "beautiful". And we see what it does to tell everyone they're beautiful as they are: nothing, because they know it's not true. I think it would be better to realize that it's not important to be beautiful, and focus on other things, instead of saying everyone is beautiful the way they are and get people obsessed with being perceived as beautiful.
You spoke my mind I’m glad I’m not th only one
Plastic surgery is crazy in Colombia. So much so, that almost everyone i worked with in Medellín had some procedure and i felt like my reality was being gaslit
For the longest time I always hated how my face looked. I’ve struggled with Acne and started medicine for it. I always wanted to put on makeup to cover my flaws. One time I was getting ready for a dance that my friends invited me to. One of the moms really liked to do makeup and was really good at it. She put some on me and I didn’t feel like me. I hated it. I learned to love my freckles, 24/7 sunburned nose, and even my acne, I learned how to love myself. It makes me sad to see that society is pressuring men and woman to changes the way God made their bodies.
Here in Korea plastic surgery is often given as a high school graduation present.
Honestly, every time I see something to do with plastic surgery now, it reminds me of this conversation I had with this girl on Discord once about her boob job, because she said she was recovering from a surgery, and I asked what kind of surgery wishing her well, and when she said boob job, I couldn't help but go, "oh." And she got offended, and I said there's nothing wrong with it as long as you don't put too much worth in your body, and I swear to you, I nearly got canceled. My gut literally dropped at the time, thankfully, someone at least stepped in to say they saw both sides, and the subject was dropped without incident.
Even more thankfully, I'm no longer a part of that group because they were a bunch of degenerates, as was I at the time, but I have since decided to leave that part of myself in the past, as I no longer want to associate with it or them.
As a short person I would never do this because if a girl doesn't want me because of my height she's not worth it to me
So you want to end up alone?
@@SD-mi2vc I think that's a negative way to view it because I've met people who WILL go out with me regardless of my height and I see it as a way to improve the rest of myself since I can't improve myself. If you're short like me then don't feel so down you just have to put in more work then the tall guys

@@SD-mi2vc preferences are subjective, but that's a very unrealistic view on women. "All women want tall guys with a full beard and six cars, a two story house with a six figure bank account" that's an extreme media driven narrative
I understand you. Good luck dude and don't let other people determine your worth because of your height . Take care of yourself
While I'm not pro plastic surgery there's a fundamental difference between something like a boob job and limb lengthening. One I'd agree is stupid but has relatively minor health risks, one is a massive health risk.
To be fair... as a guy, (when it comes to dating) the benefits of being taller are much bigger than the benefits a woman gets from getting a minor boob job. ( If it is a massive change , the benefits is still smaller, but more comparable)
I know so many women having to get explant surgery because those breast implants make them so sick. Breast implant sickness is a real thing and women need to know that it’s super common before they choose get implants.
There are MAJOR complications from implants. Research BIL (breast implant illness). Were not supposed to have foreign things in our bodies... eventually the body will attack it and make u very ill.
@@meganrichardson6471 You're right, but there's a difference between a sickness reaction and you have to have them removed, and permanent nerve damage.
Silicone poisoning can 1:kill you, or 2: be a life long issue. Both are equally stupid. The only people who would say otherwise just want to look at big boobs no matter the cost to the woman who has them.
As someone who doesn’t wear makeup because it would make me insecure (example: if someone said I looked pretty, I would think that I was ugly and the only reason they said that was because of the makeup), I cannot FATHOM getting plastic surgery. There are things I don’t like about my body, but I just learn to, if not love them, just live with them.
I’m 53 years old and married to a dermatologist. EVERYBODY compliments me on my skin and wants to know what my husband does for me. The answer is quite simple. SUNSCREEN!!!! I don’t use fancy lotions or potions or serums. I try to eat well, drink enough water, and I wear sunscreen every day. That’s the least expensive and best solution to preserving your skin. Not to mention, avoiding skin cancer. Hope this helps.
Brett thank you for talking about this issue! I also hated my nose & body from a young age and I was CONVINCED I needed plastic surgery. Now as a 20 year old, I have grown into my features and I have learned to love my body and my uniqueness! I am SO GLAD I never got any procedures! Please young girls, JUST WAIT for your body to fully develop before making any of these major decisions, some of your “imperfections” might just be your favorite features later in life ❤️
Nah dude i have a big nose and it doesn't look good
To be very frank, if women even just exist, she will have get a partner but as a guy height is like eligibility criteria if you are about or shorter then avg women, an overwhelming majority (which is 90% and ya there are actual research papers on it) would pass on you. So, it makes sense why a guy would go through something as bizarre as limb lengthening.
People who are natural rarely go on social media to post a ton of stuff. My take is prom personal experience. When a person is insecure they want change something about themselves AND seek constant validation from the outside, from other people. When I gained my confidence I found myself simply deleting instagram, not realizing that these 2 occurrences were connected until much later
I'm a 13 year old girl and it's so sad when I look at my automtic fyp vs a boy's. When I open yt shorts it's just constant, how to be prettier, how to have a glow up, girls getting plastic surgery. I am now so insecure about things that I would never have even noticed without social media.
Any elective surgery carries the same risks as necessary surgery. Infections, clots, nerve damage, etc. can be serious.
My take on plastic surgery: get it only if it’s needed. If you’re just insecure about something, save your money. But there are a couple where PS is a good idea.
First one is after a serious injury. A couple years ago, Wendy from the K-pop girl group Red Velvet tripped and fell off a stage. As a result of the fall, she had a lot of facial injuries. She had PS to restore her face to what it was before the accident.
The other scenario is chest size for women. I don’t support enlarging your breasts to appeal to the male gaze-studies have actually found that men who prefer larger breasts tend to be less successful than men who prefer smaller breasts or men who don’t care about breast size in a partner. But I do support breast reduction. I have a friend who got a breast reduction in her sophomore year of HS. She was never outwardly insecure about her chest size, but after she had them reduced, I noticed that she was standing up straighter. A lot of women have back problems because their breasts are so large, so for those women, I would say that a breast reduction would be a good idea for them.
Then there’s the things that are very preventable, and this is targeting specifically Botox. If you take care of your skin, you won’t have to worry about wrinkles. Skin care is less expensive and far less dangerous than BOTULINUM TOXIN.
At the end of the day, people are free to do what they want with their bodies. Just make sure that if you do get cosmetic surgery done that it’s for the right reasons.
Yeah I got breast reduction and it saved my back 😂 I think breast augmentation can be good for women who had to get their breasts removed because of cancer though, or if they really have a flat breasts that's a big insecurity and would like something bigger while looking reasonable.
You can be insecure about something but not let it take over your life. If a minor surgery will make you feel better about your body or face, and you can afford it, there's nothing wrong with that.
The right reasons? The right reasons for who, exactly? You? Do you personally get to decide what’s right for someone else?
@@TattyDarling did you not read the entire comment?
@@TattyDarling I'd say the right reason for the person in question. If surgery becomes an addiction, if they keep getting it and getting new insecurities, surgery isn't the answer
As a woman over 6' I've always wanted to be shorter. I wasn't confident in myself because i didn't feel feminine, and I would slouch a lot. To this day, I have neck and back pain from it. I try to feel confident and dressing how I like and feel good even if I end up a foot taller than my fiancé who actually loves walking with me no matter how much taller I am. A man who isn't insecure can do a lot for the confidence ngl
The only thing I want to get is my double chin taken care of because i forget about it and I'll be feeling so confident and then I'll see a picture of myself and I cry a lot... it makes me feel terrible for weeks until I forget it's there again. Plus people point it out and it's just shitty.
girly your so gorgeous
What many people dont realize is how plastic surgery changes a face more than they think so. So once a part is “fixed” there will be something else that needs “fixing” cuz the face has been altered so much that it does not look right and requires surgery to look good. This causes ppl to undergo many surgeries in hopes of “fixing” their face even though theyre prolly already beautiful
i hated my chubby nose and small chest so so much but now i love those about me it makes me look and feel unique. it seems like everyone just wants the easy way out now rather than putting the work to love themselves
The limb lengthening thing just made me realise as a guy how tough it is for American girls to grow up in a society full of altered womens. It is so painful and frustrating.
I hate how this has taught younger people that this is the only way to change your appearance.. Do people not know that changing your diet and working out can give you any body you want if you're willing to work on yourself without plastic surgery?? I don't understand why the extremes of plastic surgery is so admirable. People have been changing themselves physically and mentally by working out and eating better and getting better results that allow you to live healthily and not have all these side effects. Is a 10 dollar gym membership and some hard work really that difficult to comprehend...?
Confidence aint gonna do 💩 for you if you r ugly and everyone treats you like garbage. Where do you think confidence comes from?
- from being rejected, made fun of and treated as if you are garbage
- from receiving compliments and people being kind to you even before you did anything to deserve it
Lemme tell you, its not the first one for sure
i feel like im alone in this but i dont find botox, bbm or other body altering stuff attractive, like at all. All my friends at least once a week in class will find another girl on insta or whatever, and they will show her to me telling me like "yo this girl is fire", I look, and its just a girl with obvious bottox, face lift, and massive boobs that look like soccer balls. And when i tell them that i dont find her attractive like they do they are shoked, like bro she is 75% recyclable.
Look at those MACROplastics
I feel your pain about the nose, Brett. I was called "bellpepper nose" starting in elementary and continuing through high school.
I was insecure about it up until 7th grade or so. I just stopped caring about it. I told myself that metal heads aren't supposed to concern themselves with the opinions of others.
Putting your health on risk just to look good is insane , every plastic procedures have serious side effects and there are so many ppl who undo their boob job.
1:30 why did I think of the White Girls movie!? “I got my knees done” 😂😂😂😂
I've had a breast reduction and it changed my life positively, saved my back but also gave me more self-confidence. I have other insecurities but I don't see myself going under the knife for these. Some can be changed, through exercise for example, if I want to lose weight or have a bigger butt, some just have to be accepted, like facial features. Your face is how people recognize you, change it, and it's like you're not you anymore
I had a breast reduction too & I am very happy with it
@@jacquiemarykay2494 It felt so liberating!
I was born with a deformed nose (I mean I literally couldn't breathe from my nose) the doctors wanted to do a surgical procedure but my parents declined.
I do need to do a nose job but... right now (17) I believe it's better to finish my growing phase which I think is until 22, maybe then I'll feel comfortable enough to spend my money on a nose job that may harm me more than I am now...
I was told and explained what surgical procedures are since I was 14 years old by my good parents ❤
Also if anybody cares: I'm starting to workout so I'll look a little better and after the military I'm planning to find a good-paying job, then find a wife and raise my kids the correct way (no internet until 13 or at least 11 depending if the 100 genders and body fatness bulshit will be out of the media...)
I’m 6’2 and my bf is 5’4…and I’m telling y’all short kings are literally the best. Especially when they are confident in themselves and not worried about height.
Being uncomfortable and unhappy is part of being a human. You can't pill it away and you can't cut it away
Here’s a message to anyone who needs to hear it: Your nose is perfect and it fits your face just right. It’s not too big or too small or the wrong shape, it’s the nose that fits your face the best. God gave you that nose and He doesn’t make mistakes! You’re beautiful!
Nice sentiment, but it isn’t changing the way I feel about it. Had my nose done at 27 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I’m not addicted, no one can tell I had surgery, and I finally don’t hate my face. 🤷♀️
@@Joannefibracs9994 Aww, that makes me so sad to hear!
“I’m happy with my decision!”
“Awww, that’s sad to hear!”
Wut
Sick.
Edit: An important part of growing up means learning to be okay with yourself. Not compensating for everything you deem unwanted or flawed.
if youve never had a knee injury this sounds like a great idea, if you know the pain of knee issues this is crazy
I asked to get this surgery when I was 12 years old in the 90s my father giggled and said you don’t want to do that to your body. Fast forward years later I have a beautiful career as a pro performer. If he let me do what I felt back then my life would be horribly different.
The idea of leg lengthening surgery makes me shudder inside. My husband is the same height as me, 5’7”, and he joked about getting that surgery but I’d never want him to do it. Messing with heathy bone and muscle, putting in metal rods and screws near major nerves and arteries, months of pain and physical therapy, for what? People need to stop being weird about shorter guys and they need to stop being weird about themselves.
Edit: you’re reading about the risks now. I need to watch further before I comment 😂
As someone who has broken my left femur once, my right femur twice, and my right tibia, and now have rods in all three I cannot fathom doing this purposefully. It honestly seems like this guy is having a mental health crisis because no one in their right mind could do this to themselves.
If you are meant to be beautiful, you'd be born that way. No amount of make up or plastic surgery can do that for you.
No offense
I think I have saw some documentary before about japanese kid in kindergarten going through plastic surgery for double eyelid... the crazy thing is,
it is legal as long as there is parent's consent
I’m 33 and I have disliked my nose since forever, I wouldn’t mind fixing it but I’m also ok with living with it. I think it’s important to wait a few years before making a lifelong decision, because as you mature you also realize some things are more important than others and you also accept yourself and your body more. Even at 22 my brain was still not developed I didn’t start liking myself until I was 25/26.
As a 40 year old (old millennial) who hasnt had procedures. I exercise and watch my diet. People think im in my late 20s and early 30s. Im glad i didnt mess with my face and body. My goal is to be a hot and healthy 90 year old who looks natural, not a plastic filled elderly person who maybe have horific side effects. Why dont people want to age naturally. Focus on exercise, skincare routine, sunscreen and eating healthier.
That stuff was super common in South Korea from a long time and still is if not more. It's new in America. It's saddening to see this becoming more common
As a 6'0 woman whose ex bf is 4'10. Dont worry guys, just be a good person and youll find your woman ❤
😂 stop chatting shite😂😂😂😂😂😂
Based woman right here
I literally have a young friend who believes he’s worthless bc he’s 5’2 and is desperate to end his life due to body dysmorphia. He refuses to get psychiatric help bc then his parents will know he’s struggling and doesn’t want to be seen as the “mentally unwell kid” and feels everyone else looks normal. He says he’s skinny and and looks like a freak. It breaks my heart. TW: He’s tried to h@ng himself multiple times. So, since he refuses to get help, lives in a 3rd world country and can only afford hair removal which is literally $5. He can’t afford creatine, he doesn’t wanna ask his parent for money bc they’d know. He turns 20 today. He doesn’t wanna get older, he doesn’t even enjoy his bday. He gets comments about his appearance and literally sees comments on Reddit that say 5’2 men should “k!ll themselves” bc life can’t be good as a 5’2 guy. This is what our young people are being told and it is FALSE! I used to be in love with a 5’2 guy! And what’s crazy is that bc of his confidence and presence, I literally thought he was taller than me. 🤦♀️🤣 But that confidence is HOT. Embrace yourselves, people. I’m not here to judge bc I’ve wanted to change things too. But I definitely believe men feel they can’t talk about this stuff and it breaks my friggin heart. Go easy on folks. Go easier on yourself. People can be stupid, please ignore them. I know it’s easier said than done but just please realize they’re vain and ignorant. Love you!
I had a breast reduction at 16yrs old fully covered by insurance because the shear weight of my breasts were causing discs in my back and neck to be pulled out of place. Even though it was deemed medically necessary i wish i had NEVER done it. My body was still growing and I never should have done it. Now as a mother I am unable to breast feed my babies and have to depend on milk donations and buying it and formula. I have ghastly looking scars that made me feel like i had to had sex with a shirt on because my partner would see them and be disgusted. Its taken me YEARS to finally be ok (still not fully comfortable) with the scars.
My body was perfect the way it was and with time i would have grown into myself both mentally and physically.
PLEASE think real hard before you alter your body in anyway.
YOU ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
Love you so much Brett! You’ve helped pull me from the craziness of the left. Thank you

A Canadian fitness RUclipsr, Keltie O’Connor is worth checking out. She got a boob job in her early 20s and has documented her journey getting them removed and her self-confidence journey. Really encouraging.
Yea. I visited my mom a few months ago (she has cable and I haven't had it in like 10 years). I was shocked how many plastic surgery commercials there were. All for women. There was one that was advertising how they had a discounts? And now when I watch youtube videos I see these ads. It's so disturbing.
My manager in my last job was addicted to having botox, lip fillers etc etc. When she started at the firm she looked okay, despite the work she'd had done. She had a bit of a Sandra Bullock look about her. However, I saw her recently and after two years, and far too much work done. She looks like she's been on a roller coaster with huge drops that pinned her face back and it stayed that way!! Her lips are now so big that she can't articulate words properly. She's totally ruined herself.
I can't believe a Dr actually does this! I have had 5 back surgeries and my body is just never pain free!
I think video and internet are altering people's view of reality, "literally" Brett. Kids want to be an anime character rather then a "regular" human being. It´s a whole new beauty model.
Don't forget the beauty filters in all those makeup tutorials. lol
I underwent a limb lengthening operation in 4th grade to help correct a limb length discrepancy. Having orthopedic issues, it's difficult to attribute long lasting effects, but can confirm that I can't feel much around my knee cap area
As a guy who’s 5’7” and gets overlooked just because of my height, I don’t blame that dude for wanting to be taller. I’d never do it myself, but girls who are over 5’2”ish will often pass just due to height. I get having a preference, but these same girls will chastise a guy for not dating someone overweight. The double standards of Gen Z and millennials is astounding.
