Can we to-ahlk?
With all the face morphs that we get here, I find it interesting that we get a set specificly catered to plastic sergery. And here I was thinking that all face morph was us doing just that the figures. XD

It’s a quick way to beautify characters in a realistic plastic surgery way if you don’t have the time to go through a zillion morphs (I have so many, I often get lost in them!) I often use Thorne/Hanspand merchant resource morphs to fill out thin lips and make noses cuter but Surgical Beauty is good for quick enhancements when you are short on time and don’t have the time to dial spin if you own a ton of morphs. I’m a morph addict and love mixing them up, so for me, the more morphs and additions to the gene pool, the better!
Here is Pearl with Surgical Beauty. I think the morphs are fun new additions to my huge morph library!
Depends on the definition of "Beauty" I guess... I see that pack more as a way to make characters look like all those terrible mishaps we all have seen on TV, when some x-grade celebrity tries to re-youth itself and gets punished for the attempt...
I guess it still comes down to where you live and who you interact with, Alicia and I live in big cities, so where I am plastic surgery, augmentation and botox are very common procedures. More than half the women I know have implants (my GF included). This looks like a product I can use often since the women in my renders are all about their looks and status
, so I plan on getting it..
Not a fan of plastic surgery, but great to have more tools to capture life like models.
Well, since I live in LA, I’m very used to that too! I see plastic surgery everywhere! There is so much Botox than no one can frown so everyone looks happy all the time LOL. Fortunately my mother warned me at age 3, “Don’t frown, you’ll get wrinkles,” So I never developed forehead muscles to frown and hopefully will never need Botox...
You can max out the morphs and make it look like overdone plastic surgery, or just use them more subtly to make minor enhancements. I often buy characters for the skin although I really don’t like the morphs so I spend a lot of time dial spinning. This adds some extra dials with different effects you can use in large or small increments.
That's kind of the feeling I had. I don't really care for plastic surgery, but it's a neat product if that's the effect you're trying to create.
I really do like this morph set. It is just another tool to make Daz charcters your own. Here is Eva 7 I converted to G8 and used some enhancements on the lips and nose
And here I am always looking for DAZ figures with smaller lips because most of them already look artificially boosted, even several of the men ... Like a more natural look, so I'll pass on this product.

Ha! I will confess there is a group of actresses that I'm very fond of including Helen Mirren and Cate Blanchett who have had small bits of taste "editing" done but people don't comment because it has been done with restraint and didn't distort their features.... When i was much younger, over 40 years ago, I saw Jane Fonda at a campus event at UC Berkeley and I was struck by how startlingly beautiful she was and I saw her on tv last night and enjoyed that she remained lovely with a little surgical intervention....

Yepp, gods bless I'm living in the german hinterlands where fake boobs are rare and wrinkles from facial movements aren't considered "bad". But even when going to the big city of Berlin I haven't seen that much obvious plastic surgery on the streets. Probably again a cultural thingy...
The product itself is probably great for some people, alas, I guess I'm okay for my projects with the morph packs I've already got, even though I'm not sure I could achieve this "obviously bad plastic surgery" look that is shown on one of the example pics and several celebrities in real life,
Just south of you the OC. Yes, you are so right! Ever go to the gym? Its scary watching all of that fakem artificiality bouce around, women whose faces are so tight they can't make simple expressions, and yes, boobs so unnatural that people stare at them in morbid fascination, not the other way. I truly can't understand why people do that to themselves. On ther other hand, I can also see this as being a nice, very useful. relatively low cost addition to my morph library so its in the cart!
I'm with you there in the german hinterland and I kind of stare in fascination and irritation at the comments stating its a common thing around where they live. So the question I have is, do those people all kind of look the same, becaus they all got the same procedures done?
There are plenty of procedures that just enhance what you already have. granted many go for a specific look with them, but they are not usually complete makeovers to make everyone look the same.
My GF had her breasts re-done 8 months ago and as a guy, going to 6 different doctors to discuss options was an eye opening experience.
Oh! Who is she wearing? ;)

Please drop the discussion of actual plastic surgery - some of the comments are getting rather personal.
I was actually wanting a product like this for a while, mostly for the lips. Since I have characters in mind who have had procedures done and this look would be accurate for them.
Messing around, I decided to see how my avatar would look with some of these "enhancements". Should've done a render where I went overboard, but I wanted a more "natural" look.
Regardless of what you think of plastical surgery. This prodoct offers a lot more variety then the "bimbofication" does on the other side.
If you where to make a red carpet scene this product can really help to get that look your scene needs.
I'm enjoying the more extreme morphs. Gets the thumbs up from me.
Shivers... Yeeash, whelp, halloween IS just around the corner after all!
Ugh, that reminds me of older women I used to see at LA parties when I was in my early twenties, but they showed MORE cleavage! I think surgery has gotten more subtle now. My friend had some done and I couldn't even tell until she pointed it out. Anyway, I like the product for making quick subtle changes along with other morphs.
Yeah, don't get me started with those sausage lips and rock-hard basketball boobs! Moderation is key, though I prefer uses for mastectomies/reconstruction rather than gratuitous vanity such as lycanart's render...
Not my taste in surgery either but it was just to show the more extreme Hollywood Overdone variations of the morphs. I had in mind the hospital in Escape From L.A.
This is a neat product if you’re looking to replicate certain techniques (like the Korean V-line surgery), but wake me up when we get facial feminization surgery morphs for G8M and/or gender affirming surgery morphs for G8M/G8F (for transgender characters) or botched plastic surgery morphs for both genders.
Just need to accept that many of the people commenting are basing their perspectives from the social circles that they move around in. They are often socializing with or going places where people who tend to share similar viewpoints are congregating. I also live in SoCal and the prevalence of this is much less over the whole population than some posters would try and present. And yes, as people get older, many of the procedures done particularly around the face, start to take on familiar patterns in looks.
I grabbed this product right away too, it looks great, I really did think the exaggerated lips and such celebrities had were added to the actors in make up room to add to the character they were playing or to give them a look, the big lips and and cheek bones?were definitely one of the reasons I bought it, and after playing with it I like the subtle changes too
Anyone know if this works with Genesis 8.1?
I hear you...
But to those of us that don't travel in social circles that include folks with a ton of sugery for vanity's sake... it looks quite "alarming" and screams of trading "looking normally old" for, "looking freakishly old".
And while I understand my limitiations on deciding what is beautiful (except for my own tastes), I can't help but wonder... "What does a SoCal Socialite see when they see someone that looks like the render above by lycanart?
Do they really think that it looks natural/normal/good? Or is it more of a, "keeping up with the Jones' Surgery?"
On the plus side, it must keep not only Plastic Surgeons employed, but, closer to home for us, keeps all the CGI folks employed who then have to make the actors/actresses look normal again in the films.
As a product though, I think its great... more toys and tools in the Daz art box, the better!
