2, 3 & 4 are examples of what’s called “Mar-a-lago face” - really blatant plastic surgery to emphasize your ability to afford plastic surgery.
Elites frequently engage in body-modification intense enough to look grotesque to others as a way of marking their status. Mayan and Hunnic cranial deformation and Chinese foot-binding are prominent other examples.
But mar-a-lago face is a real thing and while the first instinct is to recoil in horror at what these people have done to themselves, elites have a long history of this kind of extreme identity signalling. And I do think this phenomenon is best understood as part of that tradition.
God the orokin from warframe are getting more and more plausible as an outcome for humanity. (They can transfer their souls into new bodies, and eventually became masters of genetic engineering, making theselves fancy ugly af bodies for fashion purposes. Notably, blue skin, very tall and large, with a freakishly long right arm)

Skip to 1:30 if you’re in a rush.
Holy crap - that was brilliant, and Amber’s over-the-top reactions were just the cream on top! 👌🏼
People, please watch. It’s hilarious.
I have no idea if you’re being serious.
Tbh I struggle with that myself sometimes.

My understanding is that it is a goal. It’s not just a botched face job or over use of botox. People walk in and ask for a face like that.
I used to call it real-housewife-face, because that seemed to be where the desire to do this to themselves started.
But is does seem to overlap a lot with visitors or wanna be visitors to that Nazi bar down in Florida.

First thing I thought of
Always fun to see Warframe referenced in the wild. Thought about this too.
I’m pretty sure Marge was just born with that face, but I get what you mean
You’re right. Samsquanches need powerful masculine jaws in order to crack bones and suck marrow.
I was thinking 18th century over the top make-up, corsets and absurd wigs.
