This is a bit of a... Vent I suppose?
To preface -- I'm not against cosmetic surgery. Sometimes I wish it didn't exist simply bc it gives young girls unrealistic body expectations and low self-esteem, but in general, I understand why some people would like to change small things about themselves, especially as we age. I, myself, have plans to get some cosmetic work done soon. So please don't take this post the wrong way. I'm a girl's girl✨
I just hate when people overdo it. It disappoints me so much when I see a picture of a celebrity for the first time in a year and they're unrecognizable. Megan Fox for example... Was perhaps considered the most beautiful celebrity of the late 2000's? Maybe? And now she looks like a completely different person, and in my opinion, not for the better. Miley Cyrus was so cute and now she can't even close her mouth. Ugh. I just don't understand why people can't just get subtle or little work done.
Emma Stone recently changed her lips in a major way, but I think it enhanced her face. I think she may have overdid it a little, but in general it wasn't a horrible decision. Why can't more people be like that? Lol.
Oh well. It'll never change.

They are simply a product.
That is how I look at famous people who are generally extreme with their changes (excluding the other talented individuals who get small changes or none at all.)
They were taught to do this, they don't care if the masses follow because they already are, they are just a product, their thin bodies they so try to make disappear and seem smaller is a product, the other use of Botox, filler and amongst many things is a product. In my opinion it isn't about feeling pretty (outside of regular people) its about selling something that seems so unattainable.
In general I don't judge if someone (like you) is getting changes, its only a matter of time till someone on social media who goes further with all these operations and food issues which like you said can influence innocent young people to do the same or aspire to do the same in the future.
I also feel like people feel the need to do more because of touch ups after operations!

I wonder how much of it is genuine and how much of it is the person intentionally ragebaiting an audience to get people to engage more on social media. Remember, algos dont care if you are positive or negative, any sentiment is good enough to boost. I dont think these influences are particularly dumb, I do think a small subset knows what they are doing and want to stay in an attention cycle for as long as possible.
