BBLs have a super high mortality rate, especially in medical tourism hot spots. I wouldn't follow steps before travelling to get one, I just wouldn't get one at all. It doesn't matter if you have a long back, you're alive at least

Vanity is disgusting.
Societal beauty standards and the pressure they put on people is what is really disgusting.
Its been proven that society puts more worth on attractive people. Blaming vanity is to an extent victim blaming. But, that's not to dismiss vanity completely, because to an extent, I do agree that a fair amount is done by already attractive people out of vanity.
Overall, as someone who has had cosmetic surgery, the boost it gave to my confidence was irreplaceable.
Speaking as someone who has none - getting by without any vanity is super tough. All the myriad decisions you make that are purely for the benefit of others sensing you require vanity as motivation - otherwise, you have to spend willpower on every little thing, and that's doable, it's just exhausting.
As an American, I look forward to the coming lack of regulations surrounding medical procedures.
