I love Edvasian. He's very funny and focuses a lot on east Asian beauty standards.
A crossover I never thought I'd see lol. I had to do a double take at the thumbnail
😂😂😂
Same. A scroll up and down from autostart. 😂
Same 😂
Same here
Same!
Edvasian and Gary together are so chill . Love me boys
Same. Love these two 🔥
"Frail with snatched face" is going to be the next tiktok trend like doughnut glaze face or the strawberry face 😆
Imagine walking around thinking that you look like the enhanced imagery that you put on social media and then wondering why people don't react to you in the same way. How sad.
idk imagine if ppl react to u like the opposite sex or different race or as if you had a heavily deformed face. its all pretty crappy people arent all treated the same
That's why I've never done it. I m too honest.
Literally i think this is why so many people feel cognitive dissonance looking into the real mirror. Our phone cameras already have a filter like preinstalled, and you dont even need snapchat or insta for the filter. So they take a selfie from their FILTERED phone, then filter it again(!!!) AND then post it. They almost only see themselves from their phone screen, so when they see the actual cheeks, jaw, chin, lips, eyes, they freak out because it isnt the same.
@@breannathompson9094 The day that someone invents a bathroom mirror with a filter people will be truly screwed !
@@breannathompson9094 just idk fyi this would be more in realm of being somewhere on the body dysmorphic spectrum. it can happen to more relativey stable individuals with more solid sense of identity under a lot of circumstances like when we age, gain weight, lose weight, obtain a scar, deformity, disfigurement, vitiligo, or when our appearances change in general, espeically in a culture where if these things change how you are treated also drastically shifts, and it also can be further impacted by culture where less representation of 'ugly' and photo edits and filters can all play a factor. its not really an issue in smaller cultures where even mirrors and cameras are uncommon and seen as generally useless and people kind of already know who you are as a person and all your ancestors and you usually arent treated like crap for your appearance, but this kind of changes outside of indigenous cultures, and even they can get freaked out when a baby is born with albinism, etc., and especially in imperialist cultures where roles like sex, race, class, are more strictly defined. even people with food restrictive EDs will say one of the worst factors that played into their disorder was how much nicer and how many compliments they received while losing weight until it finally at some point turns into actual concern and at that point its like where was this concern the whole time i was starving myself to this point and if i start eating you will all stop caring about me. some of the first things we say when we see someone again that we havent for a long time is remark on how their appearance changed, like 'look like you've been losing weight', 'youre so much taller since i last saw you', which can play a role in triggering feelings of dysmorphia and most of the compliments we receive are going to be appearance based and can play into the idea that since our appearances have changed that can lead to the question of whether our value as a person has changed because of that. like i myself am kind of forever screwed up by 2000s heroin chic era to the point it still looks more 'normal' when a woman is underweight to that degree with prominent hip bones, wrist bones, and rib bones than a man and being born afab it caused a lot of issues because my body didnt look like a 'normal womans' body and used to check my weight when i was like 8 multiple times a day, like my parents were weird ppl who already restrict my food so i didnt look like a 'chubby girl' depending on my weight and i remember there was like this whole mental breakdown i had when the scale went above 40 lbs even though that wouldve been a normal weight at that age and at my height and didnt realize until docs pointed it out to my mom that i was underweight throughout my early childhood. and it all kinda led me to feeling quite manly in comparison when all that food restriction backfired into a metabolic disorder and could never feel 'petite' again like i had as a child which plays a major role into my gender dysphoria because im not treated with the delicacy of a petite woman but neither treated with the amount of respect or accolades a man would receive. so even i use a male filter for my social media because ive noticed a huge difference to how my opinions are received by others and they're way less likely to be torn down or illicit condesending sexist reactions, espeically when i do speak with more authority, engage in 'mansplaining' and can use way less qualifiers suggesting what im saying might not be true or that i dont actually have the knowledge to speak on the subject with authority the way women have been socialized to. so it definitely is pretty frustrating when in real life people treat me like i dont know what im talking about even regarding subjects where i have a depth of knowledge. cognitive dissonance is more in the realm of being conflicted by evidence that contradicts your world view, usually an ideology or belief system, and usually people will just go ahead and engage in confirmation bias because the other evidence made them feel uncomfortable or like they might be wrong.
At times it seems that everyone is willing to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead. The false advertising/shameless misrepresentation and straight up lies these types of people are getting away with on social media is why I follow people like Dr.Gary. Thank you for going against the grain Dr. Lenkov. 👏❤️
We are living in an *anti-reality* era, and things are only going to become more surreal.
Glad I'm old.
This is just the awkward stage - I'm looking forward to sailing on to gene editing for body modifications. I'm excited tk have gills and bioluminescent freckles and iridescent skin lol
@@sarahm5936sorry but I've got news for you ! You have no future in *our* world 🥰🥰🥰
Anti-reality. So true.😢
I've used that face app that turns you younger or older, and the young version they show me does NOT look like i did when i was a teenager/young adult - I'm 59, my bone structure has changed due to age and - in my case - gingivitis and tooth loss. So the young me may look great, but it's based on my current bone structure - and it's the same when they de-age 70 year old actors in tv and movies - they look younger, but different than they actually did at that age.
I am Hispanic and the young app makes me asian , like really extremely asian like douyin type of deal , is hilarious
I did it too. I also did the old lady version of me and a man . They are fun
I’ve used the filter that makes you look older and it was strangely therapeutic and emotional 🙂 I looked jarringly like my mom, but I still had that twinkle in my eye 🤍
It was kind of exciting to think I might grow into that lady, she seemed like a nice old lady to be!!
The young filter gives me unnaturally big eyes, tiiiny chin and tiny mouth. I look like an alien 😂
Ok, I need to find this app ya’ll speak of and see my experience. What is the name of it?
This love for the "plastic surgery look" and fake faces is a 1st world thing and if you go to places where people don't normally do this, everyone will be looking at your face, and not in a good way. I am Argentinian and I don't think I've ever come across a person in my country, who thinks people with Botox, face lifts or fillers look good. Everybody can tell because people are used to natural faces and in-person socializing (no filters), so almost nobody seems to like this inflated, balloon-like look people are obsessed with here.
I live in the US & stopped watching tv 15 years ago. Three months of no tv, & I walk into a waiting room with a Hollywood gossip show playing, the host didn’t even look real. I asked the people watching if anyone on there looked real to them, & an older gentleman said, “It’s high definition tv, they have to use an extraordinary amount of makeup so that they don’t look washed out.”. There was much more than makeup going on there.
Though PS was really big in South America!! Like Brazil and Argentina, loads of them! Latinas really like it.
There's a Bruce Willis movie called surrogates. Where it is a world where people will live life through an ai robot to live a safer life instead going out in real bodies. Scary how it's heading that way. People being comfy behind videos and photos of filters and ai face tuning. Yikes.
My daughter is like Elizabeth Taylor ... born beautiful.
Beauty has a dark side I never knew about until my daughter came along.
Elementary school kids would tell her, "You should be a model!" and the next day, they gang up as a group and bully her. Her supposed best friend slapped her out of nowhere, and she forgave her. Then they became teenagers and suddenly, all the boys paid all the attention to my daughter, but her friends became jealous and wanted to "curb stomp" my child. You wind up a very lonely girl. So, she aimed to please these "friends", and they used her (money, car, etc.). But then, yet another queen of jealousy got on the internet and bullied her some more, saying such hurtful things, I wanted to call the FBI and report her for internet bullying. And, all these supposed "friends" joined in the bullying again! Finally, high school is over! Ya think it's over? Nah! 50 year old women at work began doing the same thing!
Men? Nearly all of them want to bed her. Even a teacher stalked her. We'd go to a restaurant and the waitress hands her a note with a phone number from a man sitting somewhere in the restaurant inviting her to call him. Other times, we'd find notes on our car. She'd get harassed at work by some dude who couldn't take no for an answer.
As her mother, I'm appalled and fearful for her.
Beauty is definitely a a double edged sword.... u should check out Malena played by Monica Bellucci it's an Italian movie about beauty and how its a blessing and a curse
My mother-in-law was beautiful very early in life and stayed that way into middle age. It limited her life in so many ways, and she never felt comfortable in the world. I wish your daughter the best, hope she has true friends and loved ones, and so much more. Beauty can be a curse.
It's not a flex either. My niece has the same problem and she's very nice with a huge heart
MY MOM ME AND ALL MY SISTER'S MY AUNTS 2 WOMEN JUMPED MY MOM ONCE BECAUSE THAT B*TCH THOUGHT SHE WAS BETTER SHE WAS PREGNANT AND MISCARRIED TWINS MY DAD WAS CRAZED WITH HER I WON'T GET INTO BUT ALWAYS AFRAID SOME GUY WAS LOOKING
For some reason I don't feel MUCH sympathy for y'all and your "hot people problems". I mean, as a human I have SOME human empathy... but as an ugly middle-aged man, I really don't feel much of it in this context. Despite the inconvenience and minor harassment, Hot People have OPTIONS that regular people do not.
Thanks for making this Dr Gary. I feel sorry for new generations. I am a millennial, 39. I thought we had it tough! Initially with reality TV, magazines touting the body ideal. Then the dawn of the internet happened Re: social media etc and unattainable beauty standards just snowballed from there. It certainly affected me as a teen in the early 000's, never felt good enough in my own skin. I look back now and just wish I could have appreciated the younger me, perfectly imperfect, we all are. Alas it is blessing to age so I won't complain.
With AI setting new beauty standards it really concerns me how this will affect Gen z going onward pertaining to said on unattainable beauty standards and of course the knock on effect to mental health. Sad times we live in. Appreciate your content. ✌🏻
I just want to say that whenever I look back at all of my friends & myself, our mid 30s to mid 40s were the times that our appearance was the most attractive. I was also the happiest with my appearance at age 45 & stopped wearing any eye makeup & stopped screwing with my hair so much.
You know Gen X’ers and Boomers went through this too right? Every generation thinks they are special and the elders just cannot understand. That’s why that “ok, Boomer” condescension pisses us off.
Gen Z is old by now. It's gen Alpha who will suffer most
As a teen I would constantly pinch my hips and never wear a bikini cause of what people would critique. At 30 years old I was telling myself how fat I am now and how I would wear baggy clothes. At 50 years, I realise that I was perfectly right and healthy at every age except for the bad habits I developed due my fears of being fat/ugly/old and it was exhausting to spend so much time being concerned and hiding. While it might be nice to look slimmer, healthy, strong, I do not want any more angst of youth.
So true. I saw a lady in her 70's with a face-lift for sure. I thought "oh what a well kept woman". I scanned her body and was shocked to see wrinkled bony hands, poor posture, wrinkled, dried out chest, sun spots all over her thin arms. It was scarey for sure. Yet she had this pretty, youthful face. Really hard to see.
😂 This is what I always say. How could you possibly make it all match up? No face lifts in my future. Not to mention the risks you’re taking and the money you gotta part with. 😛
It’s actually pretty easy to see why people go to such lengths to look youthful when you read what you’ve written here. Your description of her body sounds like some kind of evil crone. And then you say it’s “sad” to see that her face looks youthful. Women cannot win. We either look “old, wrinkled, bony and dried out” or we have work done and then people say “what a well kept woman…wait! She’s old, wrinkled, bony and dried out! Sad”.
She’s not sad. She’s a woman who has lived her life as time has passed. That’s it. Gawd I hate it here.
Reminds of an episode off of Night gallery.. I think it was off that lol
@@InspiredGrateful I remember Wendy williams advising older woman not to go under anesthesia even though she was not against surgery
Would you be happy if some random stranger scrutinized the way you look while you're just walking around? That's just creepy and sad. Mind your own business. You'll get wrinkles too and you won't be happy about it. Maybe you'll wish you could have a face lift. Stop shaming people for getting old
I blame the Kardashians for this heavy reliance on changing into plastic doll ratios. Aging or not it has caused some body dysmorphia with many young women who follow them or their influence on society.
I had a doctor with the face of a 20 year old and the body of a senior. She looked good but it was uncanny.
Yeah I never understand that, people are obsessed with their face but their bodies give it all away 😂
You forgot to tell about people like me, who got in a car accident and my face changed after that. I really hoped and prayed for my face to be back to normal after what happened. I couldn't even smile for 6 months. But after antibiotics , long therapy and a little scar removals it's all good now. I'm happy 👾. But back into that time it was really scary how I looked. It really has affected me mentally.
Being a 57 year black women who has enjoyed excellent health all my life and is managing to age like fine wine,take it from me a good exercise regime works, wonders.🍷
Thank you ❤❤❤
Black people generally age well, especially if they're taking care of themselves. Thank you melanin 🤸🏿
Many black folk age better in general cause their skin
That and genetics. If you’re genetically destined to age more slowly diet and exercise is super helpful. If you’re not so gifted all of the potions and work and everything else won’t do all that much.
@@codename495so true. Any back person who takes care of themselves will age slowly, and graciously because of their blessed melanin.
However environmental and sociopolitical factors sometimes wipe out the advantages of melanin. Poverty, the psychological effects of systemic and structural prejudice and discrimination, lead many black people to an early grave, sadly.
Dr Gary, I think this is important, in 2020 I wanted the bbl or even just a tummy tuck. I was on ig looking at the models all the time. Anyway, I was going in towards the end of 2021 to have this done when things calmed down from Covid. But I never got to go because I went on vacation to st Augustine and layed on the beach for a week and ended up in the hospital from lupus I didn’t know I had. If that didn’t happen, the surgery may have killed me. Because I didn’t know I had lupus. I just think it’s best to get a full work up for these girls who want to have plastic surgery and do a soul search on why they want it in the first place. It wasn’t worth an Instagram photo. ❤
My hairstylist told me that two of her friends had a facelift. One in Canada ,paid $50 000 and another in Turkey paid $20 000. And results are like day and night. Canadian facelift looks so natural no scars. Turkey,they butchered her face
I wonder if years from now people’s memories of themselves and what they used to look will be memories of AI generated images of themselves, not really who they actually were and looked like. Scary
i think whats scarier is huge tech companies own that data and can do what they want with it and are using our images to teach ai right now and people already having albums full of baby pics where they're using a filter on their baby even. but idk 😶
@@Jack-px8lfthe last one is crazy why indulge in such a lie 😢
🥰🥰I caca🥰🥰😊😊
I remember over 40 years ago in school our class watching a video on robots. It showed the synthetic skin and how they talked and moved. I remember the last statement of that movie. The statement was pretty soon you won't know who's real and who's a robot. That really stuck in my head and now to hear these same words over 40 years later and seeing the reality of it is amazing!😊
I used to have a flat nose that went across half my face and everybody would ask me if I was albino... Used to have a really fat wide face and wide jaw... Aging has caused my face to sag a little bit which has given me more of a oval face with v-jaw... My nose is no longer flat and half of my face... Age has absolutely changed my face and honestly I like it better
Girl you’re so pretty don’t pay no mind. I was same way, esp being Asian w flat nose and wide face… I use to cry in the mirror and vowed to myself as a 15 yr old girl I’d get everythint to my face done… from my nose to my jaw line to my eyes etc.. as I got older, well… you can see my pfp here. Idk perhaps I just grew into my face and more confidence , or maybe as we age our face does change? Have you ever heard of
Mewing? Apparently you can naturally change the shape of your jawline/profile if you were to practice this certain exercise that includes your tongue placement in mouth. Crazy right???
Somehow I still feel very uneasy looking at "enhanced faces" and even the photos taken by phones coz they're so much distorted. 😂
I've come to find faces repulsive.
The choice of thumbnail is killing me 😝
why ?
Same 😂
That's why I clicked!!!!
Love you Doc. Gary. I am 45 and I have no intention on getting work done. (If anything maybe just a nice facelift at 60) but I love your style. I love how you remind us all that aging can be beautiful and your emphasis on people keeping the things in their face that make us beautiful and unique is a wonderful message I think more youngsters need to hear this message.
Just a facelift at 60? It's still quite a lot!
So, im wondering what would seem like a lot to you?
A lot would be, in addition to the facelift: fat grafting, upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, cheek/chin implants, lip lift, and necklift. . People who get this whole package (like Dr Karam's patients) look not only 20 years younger, but beautified as well in relation to their younger selves. Whereas someone who only got a lower facelift will just look refreshed, but not different or spectacularly younger. Yes, a facelift is major surgery on its own, but you can definitely speak of getting "just a facelift."
@@dammar117 ok
That remind me the movie The Irish , where they d-aged the whole cast to make them look 30 years younger and the effect was good but they continue to move like older men, so it cause that uncanny valley anyway, is like in the old days when women used to do moisturise and care for their faces and forgetting the neck, so the face end up much younger than the neck lol
"The Irishman". Fantastic movie. I watched it TWICE in one year.
I thought I was crazy that it's harder to use an eyelash curler easily now- the eyes really do sink back!!
Imagine how depressing it would be if you could see the disappointment in peoples faces when they saw you in real life because of all the changes you made on line. These so called influencers are seriously delusional. Very sad😢
Please remove this comment . I don't like your judgmental attitude, educate yourself
@@franka2743 ...why??? They didn't lie or post anything hateful
*online
@franka2743 🙄
I LOVE Edvasian and Dr. Linkov. This is the best creation since ice and cream.
The Floptropica and Jiafei mention at 19.31 😂
I think at a certain point using the filters and even some extreme plastic surgeries people are lying to themselves as well as others...
I'm a 50-year-old man and I have some crow's feet and a few wrinkles but in my opinion I've earned every wrinkle and deserved every scar, the only thing I've started doing was a skin care treatment nothing extreme just facial and moisturizers type stuff I have noticed a slight Improvement but overall I'm happy with the way I am...
What's the point of using a filter if you actually meet somebody in person and they see that you're not who you are in your picture never makes sense to me
That's what I don't understand. Who are people trying to fool with the filters? And why? Is the validation of strangers who think they're attractive that important to them? And if it is, how sad.
I'm 61, have always taken care of my skin, and always use sunscreen. I'm perfectly happy with the way I look. I think I look good, without looking like I'm trying to look younger. Again, what would be the point? Everyone who knows me knows how old I am.
Surprised the thumbnail wasn't a pic of a heavily filtered Dr Gary 😆
I really appreciate Dr. Linkov's series regarding the risks and expectations of surgery. I'm apprehensive about the future of appearance.
I had a VERY negative opinion about plastic surgery growing up in the 90s, as people like Jocelyn Wildenstein, Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Mickey Rourke were constantly talked about on TV. I had never seen, plastic surgery look.... Good. It was all either 'Melted-Face' or 'No-Expression-Eyebrows' or people with abnormally sharp and pointy breasts or just, features blown out of proportion. (Or the ever classic BOTCHED shows) You've single-handedly, opened my eyes to a whole new world that I never saw before. The world where it's done right and you often never know because it looks natural. I was taught as a young kid to love myself and my appearance, whether I was a pimple-faced teenager or an adult with crooked teeth. I was taught to love my insecurities so I never saw the other side of people who were perhaps not taught that - or, who were taught that but understood what you're trying to teach so many people. You've opened my eyes to what you do and why people want plastic surgery or even need it in some cases, squashing my ignorance on the topic and with it any judgemental thoughts I used to have. I've been fortunate so far to not have any deforming accidents, or a feature that stands out so much that people treat me differently. But when aging hits me and I look in the mirror and feel like the person looking back isn't me anymore, I will likely look into plastic options without the guilt and judgement and ignorance of feeling like, wanting to do something good for me is somehow wrong.
I think balance in all things is very important. I don't think AI and filters are better than plastic surgery, because it's teaching you to hide your insecurities - rather than be comfortable in your own skin. I think that plastic surgery, can help you be comfortable but if someone is going in for a permanent alteration - I would hope they're told everything that you teach people here. They don't need a procedure to be valuable or worthy, but that it's okay, to do things to make yourself feel good - just make sure you're doing stuff for you, for the right reasons.
❤❤ 💯
You used to be right… it is a bad thing. Nobody needs plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. Nobody debates it for birth defects or deforming accidents… but building a world where everyone wants to look the same and everyone is afraid to age is not positive. I don’t understand why people can’t find a happy medium. Yes it should be ok for people WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT. Not people who simply don’t wanna age or wanna look like celebrities. You should allow yourself to age gracefully btw. Please don’t alter your face. Everyone should love themselves for who they are. For their differences. That’s what we should be striving for. You were raised properly, don’t change that.
Agree. I saw a video of a young woman who had a lot of work done, and a comment under one video that got a ton of likes said that she never needed surgery and simply needed to learn how to do contour. This was strange to me. Why is painting the face with camouflage to fool people preferable? Contour only looks good in selfies. I see the stripes on noses and jawlines in sunlight. If some people don't want to do it then that is fine for them. It won't fix underlying emotional problems or be a substitute for therapy. But the right surgery performed by the right surgeon is life-changing.
@@SocialExperiment232 I appreciate your perspective and your kind words! My mom was able to age gracefully, so I have high hopes. Whenever I look back on my past I'm able to understand things now I wasn't able to understand then and I guess I always want to leave room going forward that I may not be able to understand now how I'll feel in the future, especially if society and technology is nothing like it is now. I agree that the ultimate goal, is to always be comfortable in your own skin.
This hit me right in the feel 🥺❤️
I sometimes experience fear when I see certain people's faces. My guess is that something within me is registering something's not right/natural. (In a couple of instances of this I later found out they had been using botox for years).
It's cuz you're experiencing a real-life version of "uncanny valley"
16:00 it's actually nice hearing this. Our flaws are what make us human so for someone to prefer a fake entity over something that's real imo is odd
I don't use heavy filters, if at all. Especially on a dating site. They're gonna know the real you eventually!!🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Your facial expressions are everything 😂😂
I had to get a new ID when I cut my hair and dyed it. I couldn't get into bars because no one believed it was me!
I definitely was relatively the same in my 30s & 40s. People thought I was 20-odd something for a long time. I am 1.70m, so quite tall and I dress pretty young (jeans/shirt) and that makes a difference as well. Late 40s, early 50s (going to be 52 next month/very recent profile picture) is when I started to look "older". My smile lines became somewhat more defined as well; before that, my face was quite youthful looking. Anyway, IMO it is amazing what HA, Vit.C and Retinol can do as well as moisturizing your face really well. It helps!
It's weird. Ever since my back pain got markedly worse (and because of that I move like I'm in pain), people often now think I'm a senior citizen. I'm only 56.... Until I was in my 40s I regularly looked ten years younger than my age. In my 40s I started to look my age. Now I look older than my age.
Me too. It's stress and depression that help our faces "catch up" to our chronological ages
55 is when you qualify for senior citizen housing, discounts.
@@ChineduOpara Yes, that makes sense. I never really thought of it that way. I've been stressed and depressed all my life. It just didn't show as age when I was younger.
@Someone-kg8qf Well, I was thinking about the places that counted over age 64 as being "senior". That's why it suprised me.
@@donnaknudson7296It is usually considered at age 62, more so than 55 or 64.
Doctor Linkov is amazing. He tells the truth. If I wanted surgery I would only go to him.
How much of this is a fear of dying, an attempt to stop the inevitable? At some point your body starts breaking down and you're still trying to look twenty years younger.. What does that say about how you feel about your ethnicity when you no longer look like anyone in your family? I have my father's bump on my nose showing my Italian heritage and I would never change that.
Eyyy! Ohhh! You gon' talk 'bout yer fadda like dat? FuhGETaboutiiii...!
😂
I just know that when I watch movies, I can’t tell many of the young pretty people apart, so I definitely find character faces more interesting.
Steve Buscemi 👍🏽
@@ChineduOpara who is the female hollywood version of him?
@en2336 Not sure. But there are many actresses who are not conventionally attractive (anymore) but who look interesting and really do a good job in their roles. How about that woman who played Eric Foreman's mom in "That 70s Show", and who was also a house guest in Disney-Marvel's "WandaVision"? I forgot her name. And frankly she's still kind of pretty (to me) for an older lady...
Late 30s mom here. I don't really use social media. I have FB account I buy and sell with. The picture is our cow. I learned years ago that it was absolutely shocking and basically unheard of to recognize the person that came to my house to pick something up from their Facebook photo. I cannot count, literally cannot count the number of times I assumed a teenage girl or young woman was coming to pick something up. And it was a very overweight 30s 40s women. I don't care either way, but for security I do check out who is coming to my house. 😂😅 The short answer, a women way older and way fatter than the half filter images in their pictures.
I don't buy the "if it makes you feel more confident, then do it." No, go to the gym. Go to therapy. Go meditate. Go cultivate some self-awareness. Go do something with your life that doesn't revolve around your looks. Learn to just accept your lot in life. Work with what you have. Everything I said takes work, I know, but nothing genuine and lasting comes from a quick fix.
Well said. It’s clearly evident that one “enhancement” leads to another, as we’ve seen with the so called celebrities.
It’s not even about money, as the British royal family, and aristocracy don’t appear to have cosmetic surgery. They’re clearly happy with the way they look.
Yes I always say we all gonna look like crap when we get old so workout while your young so when it’s time to start aging u wanna give the reaper of beauty a fight for it’s money when u start hitting 50
The line is: do what makes you happy. The world is cruel; you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I’m so here for your take on Edvasian 😆
I'm actually very happy with what my 30s are doing to my face. I've finally outgrown my teens/early-20s awkward duckling phase and it's nice to see myself settling into my full adult look. It's kinda sad that so many people don't allow themselves to feel this way because of how much media has made people fear aging.
Sure, applying liquid eyeliner has gotten trickier now that my eyelids aren't so smooth anymore, and I can no longer sleep like a pretzel without my back complaining for a week straight, but getting older has still been a net positive so far.
Wow. Ugly duckling phase for me was early adolescence, 12-13. Young adulthood (18-22) was my best time. Still looked nice in my 30s, even 40s, but young adulthood was peak beauty. I can't imagine ever considering my 18-20 year old self as an ugly duckling!
@@dammar117 Not an ugly duckling, an awkward duckling. Maybe it's because I had pimples and braces at the age of 18-20, but I would not consider that age to be my personal peak. I guess I'm a late bloomer
We seriously need to normalise being an ugly duckling and drop the myth that you reach your life's peak in your late teens. Puberty hits hard on the body and it often takes years to level out, and all the "hot teenagers" in Hollywood movies are played by actors in their 20s for a reason.
@@blondbraid7986 Late teens is not puberty. Puberty (the early stage of adolescence) is long over by then. Not sure what "hot teenagers" means, since "teenage" only means an age ending with the suffix "teen." You can be an adolescent teenager (most of the time), hence an awkward duckling, but you can also be a young adult teenager if you're a female of 18-19. And if a 19-year-old character is played by a 20-year-old actress, well, that's perfectly normal.
A fun experiment with light wavelengths, three low power lasers, one red, one green, and one blue, all in a dark room onto a phosphorescent surface. The blue and green activate it, while the red takes away the glowing. I suspect the red light takes away the excess energy from the cellular proteins too.
Ironically I don’t see many male plastic surgeons online going for perfection!
I used to find those that had lots of work looking pretty good but strangely now my appreciation of beauty is towards more of a unique look. I don’t know why.
That being said I’m currently glad to be healing from a breast reduction/balancing surgery one year post lumpectomy. It really put pep in my step!
Remember how Ross said to Rachel about their daughter, what if she gets your real nose😊
That's funny, but one thing they can't surgically enhance, filter out or AI generate is their intelligence....
Hahah so true!
Most refreshing display of ethical medical professionnalism. Kudos!
You remind me of Lex Luthor. 😂
Yessss 😂
I see it. Lol
I really enjoy your show, and the clinically thoroughness you achieve in delivery thank you
Your face when he says some really *ahem* problematic things. lolol
This is very sad.... People will do anything to get views, likes and approval. All thanks to crappy social media. I guess you can't stop it's but there's going to be a lot of mentally tortured people in the future. Thank God He keeps me sane ❤
Yeah, I definitively blame social media, because people feeling ugly has always existed, but they weren't pushed to compare themselves to thousands of perfectly edited faces daily before.
I have a dumb question : is it safe to travel by plane after this amount of surgery (I'm around minute 13). I feel like if you're very swollen, the pressure... I don't know 😅
Never a dumb question. Cabins are pressurized so that wouldn't be a problem.
Maybe a risk of blood clots like dvt...Just google travelling after surgery maybe. Keeping hydrated, getting up to move and compression socks help that sort of thing if it's long haul. It's weird though, the pressurised cabin seems to affect me. Everytime I go on a flight I get a massive toothache, like one of my back teeth are about to pop out. I even had a back molar break just after I got off a flight. Might be something to do with the inner ear, altitude and pressure? Who's knows? I've never looked into it 😅
@@tinekejoldersmaWell, I still feel the difference in pressure in my eardrums, I can imagine even small changes to be painful if you are swollen and has all kinds of post-surgery complications.
@@blondbraid7986 Read into the Eustachian tube; it's a slow-working organ that gives different feelings of discomfort in the ear. The post-operation discomfort is not tied to her question. Nobody should fly after an operation but closely be monitored. The reason why these people wanted to fly after the operation was tied to their visa.
I don’t think I would allow them to get onto my plane if I was a pilot…I just don’t think it’s healthy just after an operation.🤨
18:50. I said the same thing, Dr Linkov, but also including the dating apps and dating environment there is now. So glad I found my husband in 2011 before dating apps! I cant inagine trying to navigate it all and dealing with the environment that dating has become...no thank you!!
It's a dumpster fire nightmare these days. You got lucky.
I think people should just assume anyone online is using all available tools to look their best including not really existing lol. Also the line for me is looking unnatural/ like I'm not myself. But the line for everyone else should be what makes them happy/surgeon agrees is safe etc.
That girl at 19:49 doesn't look human. Thanks for linking to the original video.
Doctor Gary, you need your own Netflex content on plastic surgery on the do's and don'ts,etc.
Doctor Gary Linkov! Don't you read the comments! We've already told you the younger man didn't have a plastic surgery with the doctor, never met. He is suing the doctor for using his photo. Before and After aren't related. They're 2 different people. Older man is a photo from the USA, younger man a photo from Turkiye. Both never met the doctor or have been to the clinic.
No, the USA is more lenient. In Turkiye, they're not allowed even show such photoes as proof of a good surgeon. Turkish doctors can't sel products or sponser a company, product unlike the USA. However, those photoes were directed outside of Turkiye. Turkish people wouldn't have seen it in Turkiye. Infact, the USA is very lenient even with skin creams etc.
I hear you. But I have seen before and after of Korean plastic surgery, and they can pretty much make a face look like anything. Whereas here in the USA, the surgery is always so conservative and when the surgeons try to get dramatic results it looks like, Madonna, Michael/Janet Jackson.... of Phyllis Diller. So honestly, I just think that plastic surgery in the USA is less evolved or behind the curve, and that Korea has shown us that you can almost have any face you want if you have the money.
Whaaaat! Edvasian crossover! Love it.
My daughter is 8. Starting around age 7 I starting soeaking to her, in very simple terms, about people changing thier face/body and how she doesn't need to do any of that. She's beautiful how she is. I think everyone should be having that conversation with their child.
Make her listen to "everybody's fool" by Evanescence, that song hit me hard as a kid and still does, the lyrics really predicted the social media climate.
@@blondbraid7986 thank you
People are saying that the younger generations are done for because they are shallow and scared of aging. Yeah, I'm scared of turning 20 and 25, but what about older people?
My mother spent her life working under the sun for my generation and now, partly because she has poor media literacy, she sees pictures of gorgeous rich 50-year-old celebrities then doesn't like taking pictures with me because she feels she looks old.
The widening accessibility of procedures and editing I believe is not good for anyone.
Sad for your mother. I'm older and haven't liked my photo's for about a decade.
I thought I looked better than I do... until I saw pics of me, mostly taken by other people.
Is there something about digital photo's that I don't understand!
Tretinoin and moisturizing. Drinking lots of water is the hardest. Adding more salad to the food is easier. But definitely help them and yourself take care. Slugging w vaseline is also good. And ofc sunscreen. And yeah ofc cherish your face at any age. It's love to have pics of our moms n ourselves. We need to love and cherish ourselves!
humans love to roleplay.
behind the bot is a real person
Ok, so if Brazilian butt lifts can kill you with the fat seepage for a not doctor term. Will adding fat to your face to fill it out be horrendously dangerous considering the blood supply to the face is so close to the brain??
YES. YES it can.
I draw the line for myself at any procedure, but if it was for a medical reason of any kind I would jump at the chance to have my old face back. I feel that our 'fantasy' idea of ourselves should stay in games and that reality is reality and we need to work on our emotions, not our faces.
This film is awesome, Doctor Gary❤
Brilliant video - Great insights! ✌🏽
who is that asian guy ?
The airport guy looked so cute in the passport photo. why would he want to alter this beautiful face 😮
I agree but think it's about getting the masses visually prepared for when the aliens land...😂 but really!!
Hey! I have an idea. Can you do a video on Susan Lucci? She swears she hasn't had surgery, but she looks so damn good for her age. But, she also looks natural to me. Please?!
She looks natural to me. My mum is 67 and looks about 40 and she has had no surgery she just eats incredibly well and exercises well and had a healthy lifestyle always.
Oh and always wears good quality natural skincare and sun protection. She took good care of her skin and hair always.
Sometimes genetics plays a role too. I’m 30 but people often tell me I look 19-21. I know this must be due to my mum’s slow aging genes.
But yes I’d be very interested to see Dr Linkov’s analysis of her face too!
I’m 75 and I don’t have the money to have plastic surgery so the only thing I can do is eat healthy, do intermittent fasting half the month, exercise every day and meditate! So far it has helped me to stay in shape and look and act a lot younger than I am even though my skin is getting wrinkly but it’s the way you present yourself that’s counteracting age!
Hey Dr, just wanted to see that I love your content and I think that you are a fantastic person with such a humble attitude and I really appreciate it.
I entered 40 recently and I realized i was blind when I was younger thinking that I’m ugly! Bc I didn’t love myself until Jesus saved me and started to heal my soul ❤️🩹 and delivered from lies. And now I just want to be like me again when I was younger and look nice ❤
By the way dr. Your skin is beautiful 🤍 and thank you for the discussion
God bless you
Aint gonna lie, thumbnail is working
Dr Gary (lol like my uncle Dr Gary Skaletsky Neurosurgeon) is probably the only doctor id let touch my face via surgery
Your videos always fasinate me, thanks for the knowledge!
11:16 That's true. Do you have to get passport photos and stuff redone if you get surgery that changes your face?
Tell em doc! I hate people that think they know what they are talking about!
Thanks Doc Gary Linkov. I came for your voice 😊 it somehow calm my soul ❤.
AI and all these filter just make them look uncanny.
...and dumb
the first thing I thought when I first heard about GPT3 was we'll have to use someone's digital footprint to know if a person is real ~
After my facial plastic surgery I was locked out of my phone since it no longer recognized my face and I was in a foreign country with Stolen Device Protection on. I didn’t have any issues with immigration though 😮💨
Pre-covid when fish lips and shiny foreheads were just beginning to trend, I would serve many women of all ages who obviously had the procedure done and it would activate my inner cringe as they looked like monsters - especially the older women. 😬
Can we take hydrophilic tablets like dutasteride or oral minoxidil also sublingually or sublingualroute is only for lipophilic tablets? Will the effects differ?
If we end up looking at each other exclusively though apple vision pros, That is a very depressing future 😂
I look funny with the filters. The only one that I’ll use rarely is the one for the skin blurring because I have some allergy rash on my face about once a month. But even then, I just say,”oh well, it is what it is.” I don’t like it when people put filters on me because I look like a weirdo alien with a pointy chin, giant eyes, and just look like somebody else.
Simply watch your weight, eat healthy, sleep well and take regular walks in the sun and you will naturally be at your best! :)
lost my buckle fat check fat thru crazy cardio _boxing 3 hrs a day 1300 cals diet for 8 weeks _16 kilos/ 32 pounds this was an unexpected outcome and unfortunately fat has not returned even thou gained 12 kilos back.
I own every sag and wrinkle I've earned. I spend my money on food.
Doctor Linkov... have you done any videos on anti-wrinkle creams that actually work?
Your videos are just too addictive
Dr.gary u are so kind, handsome,and genuine . giving your opinion without bashing ❤❤
Dr. Linkov, can you please do a video on plastic surgery stigma? I think it's such an important and interesting topic, and none of the plastic surgery UA-camrs has a really good video on it yet.
Interesting. Please elaborate.
@@drgarylinkov Sure. A lot of people are still very reluctant to admit to having plastic surgery. Many people can still be breathtakingly judgmental about it. There are so many presumptions that come with having had plastic surgery. That you're vain and superficial. That you must have been unattractive before the surgery. That you're less for having needed some help with your appearance. That, if you've had multiple surgeries, it means you have a psychological problem. Think about how much grief celebrities are given when it's apparent they've had plastic surgery (Zac Efron and Renee Zellwegger come to mind). Does that clarify at all?
@@drgarylinkov +1... I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
@@stuartwaterman-fc9pt respectfully I think we need to remove the stigma of aging naturally
"Still" implies you think of course using finite medical resources to carve up your face and body for appearances should be normalized. Have you considered that normalizing that puts everyone who can't afford it in ghe "automatically uglier and visibly less fortunate " category? Of course not. But they ofc shouldn't judge you? Lol
