Beauty has become a type of “asset” for many young women and influencers, leading them to seek enhancements to perfect their external appearance. However, whenever there is a public figure showcasing their cosmetic surgeries, it often triggers a wave of public debate and mixed opinions. One such figure is popular TikToker ChangMie, who has nearly 3 million followers on TikTok. She frequently shares her journey of spending millions to “upgrade” her looks, riding the wave of controversy that follows.
While she possesses a charming appearance and an active lifestyle that captivates her fans, ChangMie has openly expressed her insecurities regarding her own looks. After appearing with flawless makeup and perfect angles, she acknowledges that there are still many aspects of her face that she is not satisfied with, such as her chin or the shape of her eyes. In the midst of a beautiful appearance, she feels the pressure of public scrutiny and realizes many angles are not as ideal as they seem. Thus, she has decided to make changes.
ChangMie revealed that her expenses for cosmetic procedures range in the hundreds of millions of Vietnamese Dong. Specifically, she mentioned that the 420 million Dong spent was part of a program offering a 30% discount. The transformation included a sharper jawline, a higher and slimmer nose, a V-line face structure, and larger, more defined eyes, all of which were results of her aesthetic journey. This popular TikToker has undergone a significant makeover. To comment on this, a follower wrote:
“I’ve been following her for a long time. Honestly, she looks great. I used to follow her because she was a regular person. I went back and forth, and now I can’t recognize her… She looks better after her cosmetic surgery. But unfortunately, she is still generally beautiful, nothing particularly outstanding. I hope she can succeed in her career as well as in her beauty journey…” – a comment from a user expressing mixed feelings.
In her videos, ChangMie does not shy away from sharing details about her own enhancement journey. She mentions that her decision came after careful consideration, as she wanted to improve certain features that she was not content with. She doesn’t follow anyone else’s standards but strives to present the most confident version of herself. By openly sharing her experiences with cosmetic procedures, ChangMie shows respect for her audience, encouraging them to feel empowered in their own beauty journeys: Everyone deserves the right to be beautiful, as long as it makes them happy.
Despite facing criticism for her choices, she has been able to build a strong online presence. ChangMie acknowledges that everyone desires authenticity, but authenticity does not mean one has to remain stagnant with their own shortcomings. She has demonstrated a courageous spirit to change, take responsibility, and proudly embrace what some may call “unconventional beauty standards.”
