Did Ayumi get work done in 1999?

To be honest I find discussions like that somehow disrespectful. Everytime a successful woman who is also beautiful appears on the scene, people constantly try to discredit her by comparing photos to show that "she got work done". Just because they want to proof that the woman actually isn't beautiful and that the credits for everything she achieved don't belong to her.
But if a successful woman doesn't match the beauty ideal, people also bash her, just because she "isn't beautiful".
It doesn't matter if Ayu got something done or not, all that matters is who she is and what she achieved. If people like her or not is something they can decide for themselves, but if Ayu is beautiful or not or is now beautiful but wasn't before or what the fuck they think about her outer appearances shouldn't matter at all.
