Just something to send to any friends or family considering injectable facial fillers or skin treatments. Injections can cause blindness if the injector hits blood vessels supplying your retinas.

(this person describes Juvelook as a "skin booster" and not a filler, but it's an injectable and so can cause the same type of damage to blood vessels and nerves if injected in the wrong spot.)

I can't get over how insanely cruel the world is to girls and women about our appearance. To the point that we risk so much just to look a little more "beautiful". Doctors can't be fucked to fully learn about the female reproductive system or how different drugs and treatments affect females over males, but they have all the time and resources in the world to dedicate to making sure we can change our appearance to suit what society claims were supposed to look like and go further and further away from our natural appearance. And even then they can't be fucked to give girls and women the proper warnings or put research into how to make these things safer for us. Women shouldn't be going blind to have "nicer" cheekbones or not have completely normal, natural forehead lines. Women shouldn't be literally dying so they have the fake ass "hourglass" shape media told us we were supposed to all have and theres something deeply wrong with us if we don't. I despised this male planet.

Its sad how normalized these procedures have become. I remember keeping a list of cosmetic procedures I "needed" when I was a kid. The idea that there is something inherently wrong with women's bodies is deeply ingrained in media and I think in an increasingly digital age, those social pressures have become harder to ignore

You've reminded me that I did, too. I like my features now (even kind of like some of my more, uh, not-conventionally-attractive ones) and am happy enough in my skin, but if surgery were available to me when I was a teenager I would have changed nearly everything about myself.
