Nikki looked pretty here! Why didn’t she stop! I’m guessing by these photos they were taken in the 90s.

    Even if she had stopped here, she’d still be several decades older and wouldn’t look like anything like this now.

    Not that I don’t think her plastic surgery has gone off the deep end, but who among us looks like we did in the 90s?!

    I feel like when she looked in the mirror all she could see was masculine features, no matter how miniscule. We all see the worst in ourselves. She’s absolutely got body dysmorphia and it sucks because she seems really genuine and loving and just wants to be accepted.

    She needs to stop saying ‘I feel like…’ and just go with THOSE feelings! Her intuition is right, she just won’t accept it

    Back in the day, people had to be evaluated by a psychologist before being approved for plastic surgery. Apparently, Australia is set to start requiring this screening to check for body dysmorphic disorder and other red flags. Now…I think people should still be free to do whatever they want with their body, but I think offering additional mental health support for those that might benefit from it would be a great thing to offer.

    I can say, growing up HATING my nose, there were times when I thought getting a nose job would change my entire life. I’m glad I waited until I was 30 and had researched others’ experiences, so my expectations were more realistic. One person said no one noticed that their nose had changed, but people did notice a slight difference in their appearance and asked things like “did you cut your hair?” When I got my nose done, my mom didn’t even notice. 😂 I’m glad I was prepped for this reaction—otherwise I might have thought I should have gone further. Overall, my surgery showed me that most people don’t notice the little nuances of your face that you obsess over. HOWEVER, it did make me SO much more confident and comfortable taking photos.

    I can see how people can get addicted to plastic surgery, especially if you’re trans and “passing” isn’t just an aesthetic choice, but also a means of survival. I can’t imagine feeling like if someone notices my Adam’s apple, I might get harassed or attacked. Or worrying that my straight hips or jaw or brow bone or…whatever the fuck might “give me away”. It must be awful.

    i always just figured she mangled her face like that to hide her manly features, but she looks more lady-like in these old photos than she does now. She hardly looks human now.
