I thought it was relatively well known that you’re mostly only noticing people that either have went too far or didn’t respond well to whatever treatment.
The thing is that the majority mostly fall under two categories; ones that look natural to the person and you don’t notice them or things that the viewer might not find attractive but the person wanted.
Ie a rhinoplasty to change the side profile of your face via straightening your nose, while maintaining a similar frontal profile.
Vs
A rhinoplasty to create a pinched in upturned nose similar to a bratz doll
Both are rhinoplasty, but achieve quite different goals. Im just saying it’s complex.
also, depending on personal preference, "too far" is usually any change. it's hard to top thousands of years of human evolution. even a cute face with a medium size scar often looks good to most ppl; better even, than the outcome of reconstructive surgery.
if you have seen the person before, you will always notice and it will be uncanny. you can even notice just botox as soon as a person speaks and it's weird.
but it's also a matter of taste, like a piercing, for example. some ppl will be like "nooo, what did you do to your perfect face" and others will be like "i'm into that". the question is what ones priorities are. do they want to look well for others and if so, whom? or do they do it for themselves and it doesn't matter if others are weirded out.
