    Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It’s like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn’t a product of breeding.

      Brian Posehn called it “Hot Girl Down Syndrome” several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it’s so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.
