12 Times Beauty Treatments Didn’t Go as Smoothly as Expected

Demand for beauty treatments has surged, driven by a desire to appear refreshed in daily life and more polished in photos. As a result, people have increasingly turned to beauticians and plastic surgeons in search of self-enhancement. Still, accepting the outcomes isn’t always as easy as expected.

“The rollercoaster of emotions called rhinoplasty”

“A little over 3 months post op.”

“My nose and lips changed a lot, which I didn’t expect”

“15 days post op.”

“Rhinoplasty 10 days post op — hate how my nose looks. Right now, I feel like the space between my nose and lips is too large and my nostrils are too upturned”

“I actually cried a few times during recovery. It really just takes time! My swelling is a lot better, but it can take up to 3 months or more!”

“I am incredibly happy with the results. One thing I’ve noticed is that it made my bottom lip (appear) smaller.”

“Got first-time-ever lip fillers. Will that bumpy/wavy look under my upper lip finally disappear or should I consider dissolving it already? I’m so frustrated... I don’t wanna have such top lip when I smile..”

• “I have those bumps almost every time. Sometimes I just wait and massage my lips, and it goes away. Sometimes I ask for another bit to even it out.” © ljalja_ / Reddit

“I recently got cheek fillers, and I’m upset about the results. I feel as though I still need in the apple of my cheeks.”

“Has anyone else’s nose changed after double jaw surgery? Or is my new nose temporary because my face is still swollen?”

• “Your nose will permanently be different after a major surgery like this. Especially given how much your maxilla has been shifted. It may not look exactly like this a year from now, but it won’t revert back to your original nose shape either.” © WelleWelleWelle / Reddit

“Got Botox in crow’s feet, jaw, as well as some lip filler. Now I can barely lift my right side to smile. It makes that side of my face look fatter, chipmunk like”

“I knew before I got the surgery that swelling takes a long time to go away, which is why I’m not too worried about it.”

Beauty injections and plastic surgery attract not only everyday people but also celebrities looking for a refreshed appearance. Recently, fans of Selena Gomez noticed that her face looked significantly more youthful, sculpted, and refined during one of her public appearances.
