Are Cosmetic Procedures Really About Looking Younger?

Michael Jackson is the one that comes to mind. He looks so radically different before and after, and it certainly didn’t make him look younger. I always had the impression that he just wanted to look different.

Interesting thread convergence when I was looking at a cite related to this concurrent thread:

Michael Jackson…was called ‘big nose’ and ‘liver lips’ by his father and siblings.

Yeah, I’m guessing that Jackson’s cosmetic-surgery aims were not exactly rooted in a “healthily developed body image” mental framework.
