NIP AND TUCK

Vi har altid gerne villet se bedre ud, end vi gør. Lidt smukkere, lidt slankere, lidt pænere hår, lidt fyldigere læber, lidt smallere næse, lidt færre rynker. Lidt mere Hollywood. Faktisk viser en undersøgelse, at kun 2% af verdens kvinder beskriver sig selv som smukke, og det giver kronede dage for plastikkirurger, dermatologer og alle andre, der beskæftiger sig med kosmetisk forskønnelse. Der er ikke noget nyt i det. Kvinder – og mænd – har til alle tider taget remedier i brug for at forskønne sig, så de matchede de gældende skønhedsidealer. I jagten på det perfekte udseende er især kvinder blevet snøret, strakt, badet, bleget, injiceret, indsmurt og skåret i under mottoet, at man må lide for skønheden.

I USA, som sætter trenden, blev der i 2009 foretaget 10 millioner kosmetiske operationer og injektioner ifølge en statistik fra The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Størstedelen, lige omkring 85 procent, var ikke-kirurgiske indgreb, det vil sige uden kniv, og de hyppigste indgreb talte Botox-injektioner og brystforstørrelser. Men også læbefyldninger, skulpturering og laserbehandlinger er populære.

På et tidspunkt lavede plastikkirurgerne i Beverly Hills en liste over de kendis-kropsdele, der var mest efterspurgte af deres klienter. Det viste sig, at de ville have Angelina Jolies svulmende læber, Katie Holmes’ dådyrøjne, Keira Knightleys høje kindben og Katherine Heigls fine næse.

Om det er dette sammensatte Hollywood-monstrum, stjernerne stræber efter at ligne, når de træder ud på den røde løber til The Oscars eller Golden Globes er uvist, men faktum er, at teknologiske landvindinger, high definition tv og tidens gevaldige fokus på stjernernes udseende presser dem til forberedelser, der går længere end til den omgang pancake-makeup, som tidligere tiders filmstjerner kunne slippe af sted med. Fænomenet har fået tilnavnet ‘red carpet dermatology’ og inkluderer en række skalpel-fri procedurer som fillers til rynker og læber, laserbehandlinger mod uensartetheder og synlige blodkar, last-minute facials, så huden gløder og selvfølgelig Botox. Det er almindeligt kendt, at sidstnævnte også bruges flittigt i armhulerne, når stjernerne skal ned ad den røde løber for at undgå sved på de dyre rober, hvilket stoffet også virker imod, eller til en såkaldt ‘Botox Neck Lift’, der er et must, hvis du har valgt en stropløs kjole. For mændene handler det om et skud i håndfladen for at undgå svedige håndtryk.

“Der er langt mere pres på filmstjerner i dag, hvor selv den mindste plet på deres udseende bliver blæst op, vendt og drejet i alle ugeblade,” kommenterede en amerikansk dermatolog under seneste Oscar-uddeling. Af samme årsag har de dygtigste plastikkirurger opnået stjernestatus i USA.

Men det er ikke kun Hollywood-stjerner og rige Miami-fruer forundt at få rettet lidt på udseendet. I takt med, at stadig flere behandlinger kan foretages ambulant, og sågar i frokostpausen, har kosmetisk forskønnelse vundet stort indpas blandt almindelige dødelige. Også herhjemme. “Jeg tager min iPod i ørene, slapper af og går tilbage på arbejde bagefter,” fortalte en kvinde for nylig. I venteværelset på N’Age, der er en af de førende klinikker herhjemme, er det hverken Botox-paralyserede eller filler-pumpede ansigter, du møder, men adskillige fra både gaden, bybilledet og de glittede blade, som du sandsynligvis altid har tænkt blot så sådan ud fra naturens hånd. Og mens der i Hollywood er en vis status i at være ‘lavet’, har vi herhjemme stadig et ideal om at have vores nordiske naturlighed i behold. “Jeg har altid haft nedadgående mundvige, men da jeg fik Restylane langs mund og kæber, fik jeg pludselig masser af komplimenter for, at jeg så meget gladere ud,” lød det fra en skønhedsjournalist i sluthalvtredserne under et pressemøde for nylig.
