Say, do you have resting bitch face and also love surgery? Then we have some great and disgusting news for you.
Sure, the very idea – THE VERY IDEA – that the condition known as Resting Bitch Face is a problem that requires scalpel-assisted solutions is garbage-flavoured nonsense.
And here’s a non-surprise: that’s what’s supposedly happening in the US.
Yes, you can get your resting bitch face “corrected”, it would appear, if you’re disappointed with not looking adequately excited during casual photographs on social media.
Yes, resting bitch face surgery is a thing. It shouldn’t be a thing, but a thing it is.
According to the New York Post, “The procedure takes about 10 to 20 minutes, costs between $500-5,000, with top docs, depending on the number of shots, and it typically lasts up to two years.”
And obviously we are not down with this idea because obviously this is pure madness.
Bizarrely the article also seeks to place this in a larger fashion context. ” It’s because of a public shift in focus from the upper to lower face – “popularized by the Kardashians,” [NYC cosmetic surgeon Dr David Shafer] says, and their affinity for lip injections.”
Did you realise that your upper face was SO last season? Now you do!
In any case, resting bitch face should be directed AT surgeons who see fit to complain about women looking unapproachable, not handed to them with money. After all, looking unapproachable and unfriendly when you don’t feel like being approached or befriended is perfectly reasonable and IT’S YOUR FACE YOU DO YOU.
After all, if you’re failing to respond with an expression of childlike wonder and delight at whatever’s going on when you’re being photographed then frankly it sounds like the people around you could stand to lift their game.
It’s certainly a better idea than having surgeons medicalise resting bitch face at great personal profit.
Then again, if you hate money and are worried that the world might know the contempt in which you hold it, here’s your perfect cover!
