I'd be a lot more critical of looksmaxxing if I didn't notice how drastically bimax surgeries improved the lives of the young adults who were previously dejected and broken bc of their appearance.
First year of practicing as a physician and I rotated through multiple different surgical specialties, including neurosurgery, plastics, maxfax etc.
Patients were infinitely more grateful after having cosmetic surgery for their perceived born aesthetic 'defect' than having their life saved.
Completely changed their self esteem, which has unfathomable downstream improvements on their life outcomes.
