As a guy who got limb lengthening surgery (twice!) there’s a lot of misinformation here. I played 2 sports in high school, got limb lengthening surgery during a gap year before college, and now I’m stronger/more athletic than I was in HS and it’s not even close. I don’t have any lasting physical issues or ailments. As for proportionality, I actually have always had an incredibly short torso (I was 5’7 pre-surgery) and am 6’1 now. My proportion doesn’t look any worse than it ever was lol.
If you think three inches is going to be visually obvious irl just speaking to a person and you’re going to have an opportunity to visually measure the ratios you are just overestimating reality. Also the athletic thing isn’t true there’s literally a dude who runs marathons and did it twice lmao
Bones also get cracked during facial reconstruction surgery? And you aren’t refusing to date someone over these negative outcomes though; you’re refusing to bc you think that someone who does it is insecure and mentally unwell. It’s the exact argument used against anyone that gets any form of gender affirmation/body mod.
Facial reconstruction surgery is usually done to fix birth defects or correct issues caused by trauma💀 the “bone cracking” done in aesthetic surgeries like rhinoplasty is actually very small precise cuts. This is completely different to limb lengthening surgery where the bone is completely cut into two separate pieces, hence why it takes multiple MONTHS to heal from it. I haven’t had a rhinoplasty but I have had a septoplasty which is similar and the healing time is two weeks. Not comparable.
We’re talking about your willingness to date someone who’s gotten a procedure, not the procedure itself. It sounds like you’re saying u wouldn’t date ppl who get the surgery, bc it’s so dangerous, that getting it is a sign of some mental/emotional/personal shortcoming. Aka: baggage. True?
And that’s fine with me. Bc if they can be allowed to not want ppl with plastic surgery so can women. It’s not being a hypocrite. What’s being a hypocrite is recognizing that they are allowed to do that but throw a fit when we do the same. It shows lack of confidence and very self hating insecurity. It gets to a point
Sorry thought I was replying to the others. So I wasn’t misunderstanding you; The unfair judgement is still there, and so too is the hypocrisy. Just because you have more statistical ammo doesn’t make your assessment of others any less premature than those of the conclusions drawn from the people who have made the exact same arguments that you have.
Again, the degree of danger is the only alteration of the argument, which doesn’t change the fact that you’re still using it to draw unfair conclusions about a person’s personality/mental health as others have done before you. You need not reiterate the same point for the 6th time lol. I understand it; doesn’t make it less premature.
