It's such a tricky rabbit hole to go down because it feels like there's no end to it. I was reading up on the actual business behind Qoves (up until today I had only watched their videos on youtube) and apparently they offer online consultations. The consultation is just people paying $250 to send some pics to the company and an AI bot will point out all the flaws it finds. From what I've read, it's not even a video or anything, just still photos sent to a robot. Another thing I found was "Face plus plus," which is used primarily for facial recognition, but also offers a "beauty score." It's exactly what it sounds like. It compares photos of other people from its database to the ones the user uploads and gives them a score from 1-100 (pic below for reference) I can't imagine sending photos of myself to a sketchy business over the internet, but it's easy for people (especially people with preexisting insecurities) to fall victim to it. Then there's always a plastic surgeon that's willing to correct any "wrongs" for a couple thousand dollars. One would hope that with advancements in tech we'd be more open to different looks but it seems like things just keep getting worse. Hopefully in the future we get Baymaxs instead of these bots telling us we're ugly. I'm glad I don't work in an industry that's fixated on looks/physical appearance because I'm too weak for that.

Does anyone else watch the anatomy/facial aesthetics videos from qoves studio? Sometimes when he describes things he can be very.... upfront, but I can't stop watching the videos now. I'm discovering so many new insecurities

I didn't catch Lorry Hill's video before it got taken down, but I always thought Doja was natural besides some kind of fat minimizing procedure. I know she lost a lot of weight around 2020-2021, but her stomach in particular has been looking very flat recently. Speaking of fat reducing, I posted here a while ago about Linda Evangelista's CoolSculpting situation and I came across this video from that tiktok doctor so I thought I would share it in case anyones interested.

Does anyone else ever get shocked at how used to filters you've become?? Hongjoong recently shared some pics, the one on the left first (I think he sent it mistakenly) and then the one on the right. I'm so used to seeing their hyper-filtered pictures that I don't think I have an eye for how real skin looks anymore Edit: adding the original pics since the quality got butchered

Siyeon’s lips are still puffy but what I don’t understand is why their muas overline them so much. It covers her cupid’s bow and makes her lips look so pillowy. They used to at least follow the actual shape of her lip but lately it seems like they just smear it all over Edit: Maybe they overline them so much because the filler made her philtrum longer? I can see how the overlining might help in that case but i still wish they would follow the shape of her lip border instead of making it all blurry

There's this youtuber I watch every now and then and she just had a mini facelift. She said that she got a thread lift in the past but wasn't satisfied with the results. I didn't notice too much of a difference between her face shape before and after, but she's still swollen so I guess I'll just wait for another video I wonder if it's uncomfortable to have so much lip filler that you can barely move your lips. When I google that I just get results about filler migration, but it's probably because the filler doesn't move fluidly/naturally with normal lip movement(?) I see that kinda thing with Siyeon and Yeonjun sometimes and it's so odd to watch it in motion

I don't want to speak too soon, but it seems seonghwa's chin filler isn't as pronounced anymore Edit: Also, is it possible that Jaehyun has some filler in his chin? I hadn't thought about it before but from some angles the middle of his chin is reminescent of seonghwa's when his filler migrates

Anyways, more on her eyelids I think that to an extent, some of the changes can be explained by the current early 2000s revival. Her eye makeup a couple years ago was much darker and used more nude tones. Now it's much lighter and a little more colorful. And if she is intentionally trying to look asian, I doubt she'll ever admit it. I guess the only way we'll know for sure is if she gets another tattoo like the Tiny BBQ Grill one

I think he gained a bit of weight recently as well as getting more fillers. I'm starting to think he'll never let go of the chin filler unfortunately And about their eyebrows... like half of the members showed up a couple months ago with super thin eyebrows and it seems like they don't plan on changing them

Sorry for double posting but I wanted to mention Ariana Grande too. I've seen her on The Voice a couple times and her face looks very stiff. I think social media made me get used to the really taut look because when I saw her in the same frame with Kelly Clarkson I was a little shocked. Sometimes the editing on her pics makes it look like her eyes are stamped on instead of them being imbedded in her skull lol. I don't really know how to explain it The brow lift(s) she got made her eye area a bit hollow so maybe she's trying to hide that? I've heard that her first brow lift was botched so one eyebrow was higher than the other until she got a revision. I never put 2 and 2 together but it makes sense because for years she had the look going on

Are you talking about Kumail Nanjiani?

This is so scary... It's really concerning how so many women are pushed to get implants. I know there's the confidence aspect, like women that have just had their first child and want the "mommy makeover," but I can't help but feel kinda sad about it. This article says that the average patient age for breast implants in the U.S. was 34. I know plastic surgeons need to make money somehow, but it just feels really shady how they target so many young and middle aged women to correct things that are totally normal (like small or slightly sagging breasts). It's also very telling that most plastic surgeons are male and most patients are female. I don't know where I was going with this but I wanted to get it off my chest lol Anyways, I see a little bit of Stray Kids Hyunjin and Blackpink Jisoo in Karina's New York pictures and now I can't unsee it

If I'm not mistaken, gender has something to do with the forehead stuff? I don't remember exactly where I saw it but it was something about males usually having more slanted foreheads with more prominent brow ridges. Some people have the protruding, rounded forehead naturally (I think it's usually women but sometimes men have it too). Huening Kai's forehead is like that but I can't find a good picture

Her head looked normal sized to me in the videos I've seen. I think she's thinner than before so maybe that's what's making her proportions look off

The bugAboo members look better in motion than they did in those promo pictures. I really hope Choyeon cools it with the lip fillers

There's definitely something to be said about inorganic success and how these obscure achievements that fans brag about on twitter don't always translate to irl popularity but I don't think aespa's the right group to use as an example lol

There's been so much going on in this thread lately I can't even tell if this is like a joke or not

I don't have anything to add regarding a potential forehead implant but these pics made me realize how much of a difference the hairline makes

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the models from the 90s but Linda Evangelista posted on instagram saying that she had CoolSculpting done in 2016 and is now "permanently disfigured." I don't think she's specified in what area she had the procedure done but some are speculating it was her jaw and stomach Apparently there's like a 1% chance that CoolSculpting could result in the opposite of what it's supposed to do (an increase in fat in the area instead of fat loss) but she wasn't warned of this risk? She doesn't give a lot of detail but I'm assuming the results must have been rough because she had two surgeries after. The other big supermodels from the 90s have been working but Linda hasn't really been out much since 2016. I feel pretty bad for her. I guess the moral of the story is to practice caution?? Tbh I'm not really sure what to make of this situation

Just curious, what do you think she's gotten done? In her recent instagram posts I thought her lips looked more plump than usual

Kara Gyuri or fromis9 Gyuri?

I knew I would regret googling this. One website I checked said some people can resume their regular activities after only 2 weeks? After reading about the techniques, 2 weeks seems a bit... short? I suppose such a short recovery time is possible because the cheekbones don't move, whereas with a jaw shave the patient would have to suspend harsh movement for some time. Anyways I think you're right about the results being more subtle than the results of jaw shaves.

I'm still mourning the loss of the bump on Seonghwa's nose bridge but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some improvements. My biggest gripe before was the front profile. Personally I think it still looks "done" like in a plasticky way but overall it's better than before. I'm not sure if these improvements could've been made with just filler or if he indeed went back under the knife but whatever he did worked. Considering the results of his previous nose job, this revision was pretty nice imo unedited pictures under the spoiler

A lip lift decreases the distance between the lip and the nose. To my understanding, it's usually done when the upper lip is too long

Yeonjun's upper lip is really weighed down by the amount of filler he has. It seems like his philtrum has gotten longer rather than shorter, but isn't the point of the lip lift to shorten the philtrum? I'm new to TXT and I just can't figure out what he's going for with his lips. Maybe he's wants a really specific lip shape?
