What Elon Musk Has to Say About the Botox Shame

Although there has been some improvement in society’s attitude toward cosmetic or plastic surgery, it is still embarrassing to admit that one has had such work done.

A month ago, a concern plagued the minds of TikTok and Instagram users, as well as Kardashian devotees. 

Has supermodel Kendall Jenner undergone plastic surgery? The teaser for the upcoming season of The Kardashians, which featured 38-year-old Khloé Kardashian and 27-year-old Kendall Jenner, sparked this question.

The fans were drawn to Jenner’s face. 

Someone on Instagram posed the question, “What is wrong with Kendall’s face?”

Even though the reality star flat-out denied undergoing any sort of plastic surgery, that did not stop the online uproar. The overwhelming popularity of a plastic surgeon’s video in which he claimed to reveal the specifics of Jenner’s body transformation should have been enough to tip you off to the topic’s widespread interest on the Internet.

Stigma

The plastic surgeon believes that Jenner has undergone a number of secret procedures, and he uses photos from throughout her life—including her teenage years, her early modeling career, and more recent photos—to prove his point. 

According to the plastic surgeon with over 978,000 TikTok followers, “I can tell she has had a brow lift and maybe even lower lid corner work done.”

He then remarked that Jenner’s brow lift alone or additional eyelid surgery may have contributed to the slight increase in platform show above her upper eyelids.

The clip has received widespread attention.

This video’s popularity highlights the ambivalence that many people feel about cosmetic surgery. A number of people are turning to it. However, there appears to be a barrier of secrecy and embarrassment.

Elon Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur and current Forbes 400 list member, recently weighed in on the issue. When plastic surgery is done well, it is fantastic for the CEO of Tesla (TSLA) and the owner of Twitter. 

In light of this, he advocates for eliminating the stigma that frequently surrounds people who undergo cosmetic surgery. He said this in response to a Twitter user with whom he frequently interacts and who was upset about the persistent rumors that she had lip fillers.

“So that at least some of the things people say about me are true, I am considering getting Botox and lip injections. Moreover, I do not get why men are so obsessed with this stuff anyway,” the user wrote in a tweet. 

“I feel it is important to explain why people’s remarks can sometimes hurt my feelings. When I am nervous, I tend to prefer talking out of only one side of my mouth. This is done unconsciously. Obviously, hearing jokes about it makes me feel even worse about myself. Bad lip fillers are the likely culprit, they think. But in reality, it is just me,” she clarified in a subsequent tweet.

Musk said, “Plastic surgery is awesome if it is done right,” and followed it up with “technology ftw [for the win].”  

“It Should Not Be Looked Down Upon,” the “techno king,” as he is known at Tesla, continued.

It is not that Musk thinks you or anyone else has had plastic surgery; he just thinks it should not be stigmatized if it helps.

This was accepted by the user “All right, then. Personally, I believe that each person should make their own choice. Yet, it carries some dangers that less-than-effective potions and lotions don’t.”

The goal of plastic surgery is to restore or improve the appearance of a bodily component that was born deformed, injured in an accident, or lost function due to sickness. Similar to reconstructive surgery, the goal of cosmetic surgery is to improve the appearance of a part of the body (such as the face, breasts, shape, lips, etc.) that the patient finds unattractive or that gives them self-esteem issues.

Experts advise caution when considering cosmetic surgery, as it is a deeply personal decision. For this reason, one should have reached a certain level of emotional and mental development before beginning it.

Yet, many people choose less intrusive procedures like Botox because of the risks associated with plastic surgery. Also, if the medical personnel delivering the Botox injections are competent, the results will be more subtle and natural looking than if the individuals had been subjected to artificial enhancement.
