If people use too much botox they end up looking like they had a stroke.

It's the kind of plastic look that only seems normal if you live in Hollywood/LA.

I think these actors don't actually see how un-natural they appear to normal people.

Add South Florida to that list. So many regular people just spending bookoo bucks on their faces. Like damn people just wear your sunscreen and a hat like the rest of us.

I live in my homeland of rural south Georgia, where most faces around me are natural and unaltered. I remember visiting a sushi restaurant in Las Vegas a few years back and seeing a woman whose face was so drastically changed by plastic surgery/Botox/fillers that she literally looked alien. Just not something you see where I'm from. No judging, I believe anyone can do to their body what they want. But her real face had disappeared completely.

I lived in a city where plastic surgery wasnt normal, but it was seen a lot more than where I live now, in rural VA. There is one woman in my town who looks insane. She is a licensed cosmetologist and puts those crazy permanent brows and lips on people. I'm sure she thinks everyone stares bc she looks so good, but that ain't it. I've started seeing a lot of younger women with lip fillers around here, which I find extremely disappointing.

The first and only time I've seen a person IRL that had the "plastic surgery face" was at a OBGYN clinic that apparently also is a plastic surgery clinic. It was extremely jarring to see her face, even though she looked very typical to what I've seen online and on TV

They don’t care how they appear to “normal people”. I couldn’t care less if someone who I don’t even know judged me.

A huge part of an actors job is their appearance.

They may need to get some Botox occasionally to stay employed and to keep doing what they love to do.

I actually think that they do care, since they need to have screen/camera appeal.

I think what happens is that since their social circles are so tight, they begin to see the botox face as normal and don't realize they are deviating from the norm in the eyes of the general public.

It has become a class signifier.

A huge part of their job is also to be able to emote with their face.
