Having all of the money in the world won’t buy you happiness or psychological health. But it will buy you this:
Granted, I’m not a man, so I’ll never understand why anybody would want to swap the beautiful woman in the “before” picture for the creepy monster in the “after”.
….or perversion.

wow, I had no idea what she looked like before. She was very beautiful! How sad.

Those two pictures have 30 years between them I think, it’s not a very fair comparison 🙂
For what it’s worth, the main problem with the second picture is the very botched filler jobs (lip filler mostly, you can even see it getting out of the lip line on the bottom right, but the puffy small eyes also look to me like someone getting trigger happy with fixing eye wrinkles). Thankfully for her, this sort of stuff is temporary, since hyaluronic acid (the substance used) is absorbed back into the body within months anyway. She doesn’t look disfigured in recent pictures anymore https://people.com/thmb/GXgSQd8BPRrr-_Wx-fRcbyIDcCs=/4000×0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(718×159:720×161):format(webp)/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-062525-2-fd2ebd6178fa4b5cac82a853f3214373.jpg

Maybe once you start whatever cosmetic procedure this was, you have to keep amplifying it, or it looks even worse?

Someone I know said that the logic behind this is that they’d rather look grotesque than look old. This is how much they’re afraid of ageing. Which makes sense to me. These people get called all sorts of names (grotesque, freaks, creeps, disfigured, monsters) but nobody calls them old. This theory is exemplified by this post and comments, haha.

Yes because she’s so freakish looking that “old” would be the last of her problems. But it’s true, these people are terrified of aging.

Probably. Imagine 20 more years of these treatments. It’s sad.

It does look as though she might’ve had some light work done even in the before pic. I have heard that it doesn’t age well. It would go a long way toward explaining some of the hollyweirdness around that: If, like Pam Anderson, you got into entertainment because you were *already hot*, you’ve got a shot at aging gracefully (provided you stay out of the drugs, bulimia, etc). But if you tweaked your face and figure *just to get in*, that stuff starts sagging, stretching, straining, and needing a re-up every couple years starting in your 30s, doesn’t it?

“not a man, so I’ll never understand”
I cannot imagine any man finding the creature on the right being attractive in any way shape or form… but an underdiscussed idea is that men often kind of…. imprint (for lack of a better word) on a woman at a certain stage in her life and still perceive her that way despite physical changes.
I used to think that one reason for bad plastic surgery was people looking at one feature in isolation and not thinking about how it would change everything else about their looks (and I’m not letting that go I think it definitely happens).
But stringer’s idea that a certain kind of woman would rather look grotesque than ‘old’ makes a lot of sense and is something I’d never come up with on my own.
So now I’m fighting the temptation to simply react ‘makes her look old’ to any plastic surgery…
Aging gracefully in the public eye is a challenge for women, but this is not how to do that… whoever thought that Pamela Anderson would become an icon for just that?

Oh, wow. I never thought Ms. Anderson looked relatable when in her prime: too much makeup. But she looks genuinely lovely, and probably even nice, into the bargain, in that pic.

Pamela Anderson has had a face lift at least. She just doesn’t use noticeable filler.

I was thinking… she might’ve had her neck done. Nothing drastic, and no fillers. No idea why people think fillers are attractive, rather than weird.
