      I wouldn't get fillers. Don't jump on trends. I thought about it for a good time in my life, but I always waited to see what the repercussions are and there it is......botched, makes you look WAY older than you are and there are so many reasons not to. Its a good thing for older people, possibly, but young? You all getting these procedures are falling for media standards and getting used for easy money. This is what they wanted.

      Perfected faces tend to look "uncanny valley" bc no human face is perfect. They look beautiful but they don't make you feel comfortable and humanly connected, especially when the facial gestures are affected and non verbal communication is compromised. Imperfect faces are human faces that make vulnerable human conections (obviously is not that extreme there are levels but yk what I mean)

    You know Gabbie, this video will help a lot of people. It sure helped me a lot. Recently, I was at my first consultation for a nose correction and I caught myself trying to justify the risks of going blind or losing my nose to necrosis, to a point where I realized that the usually rational human being in me just vanished so quickly because I wanted to look a certain way to everybody else. Your video made me cancel my next appointment, and I will honor my nose because it shows my heritage and family history. Thank you, G.

    • @TheSwauzz

      To be fair, medical doctors are not supposed to do that per their code of ethics. Cosmetic surgery places get around this by have techs give suggestions or just simply break their code. Be wary of pop up cosmetic procedure places too, where faked medical licenses run rampant. To add--ANY doctor/surgeon suggesting something you are even remotely "uhhh I don't know" about, get a new doctor/surgeon. Even if you are someone overly anxious, there is a doctor out there who is actually going to make you feel comfortable with any decision.

    God truly has you around his finger ❤ it’s never about where you’ve been, it’s about where you are going. you can reinvent yourself as often as you’d like. You are living proof of this. Thank you for this gab, i love you.

    I just sent this video to my mom who has body dysmorphia. She is always talking about how old she is looking, how ugly she is and how she was the ugly duckling in the family of 5 sisters and currently gets Botox and fillers for things. She always points out features she hates about herself. Funny enough, people always say I am her TWIN. You said something in here that sparked my brain to say “she is always talking down about her looks, but if I look like her, am I ugly? Why does she think I’m pretty but not herself?” That’s why I sent her this. Thank you for this. Thank you for sharing your experience and your truth because we definitely can all relate.
    P.S. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY YOU GOT THE NECK TATTOO. Let me tell you, I never noticed any “tendrils” until you pointed them out. You were beautiful at every point in between each one of those procedures, but you’re a diamond shining now in confidence and beauty and I can see you believe it, too. As a fellow 30-something woman, you have given me a lot to think about. Thank you ❤

    You have never looked more beautiful. Happiness and confidence really does radiate physically through people's faces, but also causes them to make fashion or aesthetic choices that look so much better. You can tell when people have something unresolved within themselves because they want to hide from themselves and don't want to recognize themselves in the mirror.

    I have no idea who you are. Your video popped up on my feed and I was like interesting…. And watched. I had double jaw surgery for breathing issues. I initially had a weak jaw bone on the left side of my face. Resulting in asymmetrical face. My chin was recessed and more on one side. I have my top lip which is very small compared to my bottom lip. All these things I thought would be fixed with jaw surgery.
    The surgery was for medical reasons. It was free (as I live in canada) and was told “you will have a strong jawline, you’ll look like Margot Robbie, your lips will be more plump from advancing the jaws.”
    Im 3 weeks post operation and have cried throughout the whole thing because I still have a recessed chin, my jaw is weak, (less but not as strong like Margot), my top lip is still small.
    I put myself through this surgery to breathe better and all I can think of is my physical appearance. But in reality, I should be grateful I can breathe better. Post operation has been hard, Im not aloud to chew, I have to stay non active for 2 months, I cant do this, cant do that. Have to sleep upwards blablabla.
    And when I look at all these women who have a strong jaw, a chin that aligns with their bottom lip, I just think ok , im getting chin implants, and botox in my lips, and I am even considering going through surgery AGAIN to be “perfect”.
    Your video was the smack in the face I needed to just stop worrying about all that. I should be happy my face is now symmetrical, I can breathe better and thats that!
    So thank you. For randomly popping up in my feed. And for telling us all your experience cause honestly, we dont need it. We need to self love as we are. And thats it.

    @SarahsSpareCorner 9 місяців тому +13

    I’m so glad you’re speaking about this. Not only is it really interesting but it says a lot about what influencing was like when the job started getting more attention about 10 years ago. Obviously this was recent, but I am referring to the appearance obsession that was hidden for many years and thus leads to the cultures now.
    I remember around 2019 when things started getting harder for you, and the increase you did talking about your face not being symmetrical. Attention to your nose, lips and the right side of your face. As a view I honestly could not tell at all but I noticed how much it was effecting you. Then I remember the video you did posted (since deleted) about maybe getting surgery on your neck. I remember how cruel everyone was about that video, but my heart went out to you. We are similar in age, and I could imagine how it must have felt being in the influencer world as long as you had and the struggles you had previously mentioned with your self image. I am glad you are speaking about this with good boundaries set in place. Thank you for being so honest

Ended at 365 with Fraxel Dual Laser treatment for tighter skin (!!?) that would essentially peel my face off in the process, cheek fillers despite always being complimented in the past about how lucky I was to have naturally high cheekbones, lip filler despite always being complimented in the past by men and women on how “beautiful and full” my lips were, Botox even though I didn’t have forehead wrinkles at all nor wrinkles around my eyes, filler for the smile lines on the side of my mouth, Botox for the top lip so I could essentially have that stupid pout everyone has….it was too much…I started getting eyelash extensions weekly, hair extensions regularly….I WAS NATURALLY PRETTY AND COMPLETELY CHANGED MYSELF…for WHAT!? Been almost a year without anything and I’m much happier! It was a mental health thing not a financial thing.

    Gabbie,
    Thank you for this video. I was one of those followers you spoke of in this video.
    I'm part lebanese also, and my nose is different compared to others in my life and it's crooked. I have hated it for so long...
    I remember your video of you getting your nose done and I wanted mine done so badly but could not afford to have it done.
    I'm now 41 and let me tell you, it's been rough. I have always been known as the hair and makeup girl and I hid my insecurities behind it all.
    Well, at this point my hair is flat and won't do a thing I want it to do and my skin is dry and has lines that make me look haggard. feel gross and I have gained about 20lb since December.... I have never expressed my feelings to anyone until now.
    It nice to hear the truth about the truth beauty industry and most of all it nice to hear that it is possible to learn that not being "prefect" is okay and that it is okay to love ourselves anyways.
    I'm so glad you are doing better and that you are back . I truly missed you. ❤

    Anyone I see who doubts Gabbie's growth and just all round maturity and evolution.. this is the video I'll show.
    This is absolutely the climax of acknowledgement, understanding, empathy, apology and actual comprehension of how damaging false ideals can be. How easy it is to be lured into those traps and lose yourself, and more importantly... come back.
    Her attention to detail, noticing these things after the fact and rather then leaving them as noticed, to understand what they mean, the positives and negatives and more importantly acknowledging the damage done is not only uplifting to a viewer on a platform but a true informer to the growth of the creator posting this.
    I commend you Gabbie. I've been here a LONGG time and throughout the years it's felt like I've travelled some of these highs and lows with you, but never have I believed more that you are where you need to be. Its beautiful.

    Listen Gabby, I am 1 month away from my mommy make over surgery.. something I’ve wanted for 9 years. Now you come out with this video, I’m over here paranoid 😅. Not only because I hate going under, but because the amount of lack of self love I have for this body right now, is huge. I mean, so huge that I’m literally get chopped and stuffed because of it.
    When I was 20 I wanted fake boobs, because I hated my body then too. Later I came to a point of acceptance and love and 20 years later, I can’t seem to come to that point again.
    I pray that my surgery helps me and not harms me. I pray that anyone watching or reading this loves themselves soooo much, they can figure a way to just adore themselves as they are.

    I'm so happy your happy with this current version of your face, because you're genuinely SO BEAUTIFUL! It's crazy how we only tend to learn to appreciate what we have *after being subjected to cosmetic traumas like these. This video is so enlightening to highlight how the cosmetic industry is so similar and mainpulative to brainwashing and cult-like mentality. They convince you there's a problem amd then get you hooked on "fixing" problems that aren't even a legitimate. EVERYONES face is asymmetrical. It's what makes us look human and not like dolls. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry the basically bullied you into changing yourself when you were already happy with the way you looked. It's so unethical the way they convince people to have their face altered who don't even need it 😢
