The new fashion ... Ironing on your knees!

• April 30, 2024

The United States has the first place in aesthetic operations, with approximately 4,000 operations per year, according to the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS). To this high number of operations now is added ironing knees, a new fashion promoted by Hollywood actresses.

Celebrities have always gone through the operating room to delay aging and / or look prettier. Some succeed, others (and examples are not) no. But one thing is to get injections of hyaluronic acid in the face, and quite another is to pay 7 thousand euros (about 126 thousand devalued pesos) for straightening the knees.

Well, several actresses, including Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone or Catherine Zeta Jones, have undergone surgery that corrects wrinkles in the knees and leaves them smooth and perfect.

It is one of the star operations of the summer and for which, if you are interested, you have to pay this exorbitant sum. They say that with it, the passage of time is less noticeable and you can continue to show off beautiful legs without wrinkles, although you do not have to show them on the red carpets of film festivals.

For the famous ones, who have made fashionable to teach leg during the cinematographic galas, this operation is all a discovery.

In addition, it allows them to work in movies or series where they have to look younger, or simply in day to day, in which they can be photographed anywhere and with any look, in shorts or mini-dresses.

Apparently, this costly operation has to do with the latest techniques to also eliminate stretch marks. These include chemical peels (which remove the superficial layer of the skin and stimulate its regeneration), dermabrasion (in which aluminum microcrystals stimulate fibroblasts in their regeneration), or the laser fráxel (a very novel technique). that treats microscopic spots of the skin with great power and depth favoring the production of collagen).

In short, how far will we be willing to go with such to continue fulfilling an imposition of beauty? How long will it be accepted that the passage of time is a natural and beautiful process in its own way? How much money is needed to continue feeding female dissatisfaction?

Unfortunately, as long as these celebrities remain willing to undergo unnecessary surgeries without questioning or due to the obligation to continue working, things will not change favorably for all women. You, would you kneel like that?
