Ha! Matt Gaetz is the only guy on the list. Trying to look all pretty for Boss Hog.
“Commentators and surgeons have characterized the look as engineered, overdone, sometimes tacky, and have linked it to the aesthetics and performative aspects of Trump-era politics.”
Oh god. Say “Trump-era” again, like in past-tense.
California surgeon Matthew Nykiel estimated the 2025 cost in U.S. dollars to be approximately $90,000 along with upkeep costs of $2,500 per year.
Wait. This shit has an upkeep cost too??
Makes sense, the matrix to which the artifice is applied continues to deteriorate.
Once you get plastic surgery, you have to keep getting plastic surgery. It’s a forever and ever thing. Parts of it stay in your body/skin forever and permanently alter the way you look. You only become more and more grotesque.
Sometimes, not others. Getting loose skin from weight loss removed will often go fine as will other stuff like bone shaving. It’s when you get to implanting or fighting aging that you enter a permanent battle.
And while that’s true it’s an ongoing battle, it’s not simply because of cosmetic procedures, it’s also because of the steady march of the aging process people are fighting against.
Yeah that’s a battle you really need to be careful about how you fight because it turns ugly fast if you use certain weapons in it. You won’t look young forever, but you can choose to age gracefully. Grow some laugh lines. Exercise in moderation (mostly cardio). Use sunscreen. And when your face starts to sag from age, embrace your crone era and start baking cookies for your loved ones
Well put. It’s a delicate balance between “aging gracefully,” and “yikes!”
you have to because botox wears off, and your facial muscles atrophy from lack of use, so you have to take more, or if you age too much the cosmetics looks wierd and you have do something again. theres also blepharoplasty, (eyelids lifting), or stretching your skin somehow. the ISAIP Mac actor went all in on this, plus his wife, totally unrecognizable now from pre-season 12.
Yea it makes me sad to look at them. I had a trigeminal nerve irritation for a year and my face bothered me so much. It messed me up so bad over some invisible tingling…They must always have their face feel off. Every time they look in the mirror its a reminder that they’ve lost their sense of identity.
If that happened to me, I would need therapy to get over the loss of my face.
i had temporary trigeminal neuralgia from a broken/infected tooth, that was the most painful thing felt like 2 weeks straight til i got my root canal. sometimes if get ulcers in teh back of my mouth that are bad enough it causes similar but less severe pain.
While I think it’s an awful style choice, I am 100% in favor of MAGAts being visibly identifiable from a distance.
