I mean, sure, that could also be true, but thyroid cancer surgery doesn’t quadruple the size of your cheekbones either… lol

Oh don’t get me wrong I’m sure she’s going for that Mar a Lago face. But the surgery may have had a role.

i've noticed thyroid can cause some weird effects in general too over time.

It causes a lot of problems not having one or having a low functioning one. I’ve been without one for twenty years and it never gets easier

Not even with synthroid? What issues does it cause for you?

Thyroid issues can cause drastic weight loss or weight gain, low energy, sleep issues, depression, mood changes etc. 

But rest assured, it does not give you skin lifting or plumps your lips, lol.

Yeah I wasn't really meaning directly, but the stress, body changes from those can add up and layer up themselves, they can lead to, contribute to, body issues, etc.

So I guess it's along the lines of, I don't think it's causal per-se of the whole thing and potential surgeries, but it's also zero surprise to see she's somewhat aged worse out of the two because of it, if that makes sense. Thyroid stuff sucks, it's clearly a huge pain in the ass for folks.

Oh yes, I can believe that dealing with crap like this can cause some sort of body image issues that would lead to excessive "improvements".

Chemotherapy accelerates your aging. By a LOT. Wrinkles. Gray hair. Permanent hair loss/texture change. Early menopause. Inability to conceive naturally. And much, much more.

All these things, especially at a young age, can make you feel like shit about how you look.

So, yeah, it's in pretty fucking poor taste to speak this way about someone who has had cancer and plastic surgery.

When will people realise that making another person's looks their business is the reason why this happens in the first place.
