I'm a firm believer that a person should have the freedom to do what they wish to their body, and we shouldn't throw shade at folks.
There's no shame in opting for procedures for more serious issues or to help improve self-esteem: I've known a few women that have had huge increases to their self-esteem by getting modest implants, breast reductions have helped with back problems, dental surgery to correct terrible teeth, and more.
I don't think it's good to be superficial but at the same time you need to be realistic about society. As someone that has lost a tremendous amount of weight, it's really quite shocking (or I guess, not really all that shocking if you're a cynic) how much better people respond to me on most interactions now, and my self-esteem has skyrocketed. I understand why a person might want to get a procedure and experience similar benefits.
With that said, I do find it disappointing when women get more extreme cosmetic surgeries, especially when they are (imo, obviously) unnecessary: excessive boob size increases, the terrible Brazilian butt lift, lip implants, chin/jaw/etc shaving and sculpting sometimes they just end up looking like aliens or completely different.
I'm not proud to admit this, but back in the day there was a very attractive adult film star named Lela Star and she was about as close to perfect as a human could be, and 100% natural. Then she got signed to a major label and went full Kim Kardashian with a boob job, lips, butt sculpting: the works, and it was just such a waste of a natural beauty.

I hate eyelash extensions. I don't find it attractive at all.
It's a really weird thing to do, I agree. Not sure who makes these trends or decides these are attractive.
The weird one is where they put hooks or tapes in their eye sockets and stretch them back so they look, I don't know...Asian?
