How do guys feel about a woman who had plastic surgery?

[Anonymous]

As a man I dislike plastic surgery on the face if it shows

It’s not very attractive at all and most of it shows

Funnily enough I’m dating a 35yr old who has had quite a bit of work done and it shows

But I love her!

Its kinda like the woman who says she will never date anyone under 6’ but ends up with a 5’8 guy because he is great and ticks each and every other box she had

You know "the man" also gets to choose whether to be in the relationship, right?

? He is welcome to leave.

You’re truly not fooling anyone but yourself. I cannot even eat lunch with my ds without laughing. She looks like Tim Allan in that Christmas movie. I am always being told it takes a little for it to settle and for the life of me I cannot understand why she does this. She’s beautiful and highly accomplished, Botox is not necessary. She’s venturing into injectibles and the chubby cheeks is more than I can take. I would sue her one for if I weee her. There’s just something so wrong with turning someone into a space alien. All of her friends do this and they think they are the best looking in the room. It’s painful and laughable at the same time.

+1 and once your hubby knows, he sees it everywhere too!

Botox is medically proven safe but does have risks. Just like so many other things. It's a personal choice that, when done well without excess, makes women look more like the conventional beauty standard. Obviously not without risk but not dissimilar to the concept of eyeliner or lipstick, or hair dye, or tattoos. If a woman wants that and can afford it, why would you care what she does? Why do you need to come on a message board and repeatedly whine about fRoZeN FoReHeaDs and ToXins!!!!?

Being rabidly anti-botox and posting #tRiGgErEd on every post trying to defend a beauty treatment is a strange look.

What's your actual deal? Is it that you can't afford it (that's not fun, I get it)? Is it that you are afraid your daughter will develop unrealistic beauty standards (that's fair)? Did your husband cheat on you with an agressively over-botoxed woman (yikes, sorry)? Is your main frenemy in your Thursday night ladies' bible group hitting the xeomin just a touch too hard and every over-botoxed face you see reminds you of her (again, sorry)?

I mean, process those feelings I guess. But lay off the average woman who has 30 units and just goes about her life as consultant or teacher or lawyer or mom without looking like a weirdo or dying of botulism.

And I am not the wine poster, but I highly recommend you have a glass or two. Who knows, you might relax enough to not be such a miserable sanctimonious shrew for an hour or two!

Holy moly the overly defensive freaks are out on this thread.

Way to post it here and not Health topics.

It’s been eye opening.

Someone pls put photos so we Dcum men can tell a Botox forehead from a non Botox forehead. No im curious!

How much this cost?

Oh wow. I started looking into this and you're right. So scary.

Another thing I found out is that when you have surgery they cut your skin open and you bleed!

Wow!

Maybe it’s just me, but injecting neurotoxins into your face seems like bad idea.

But I’m sure you have no issues drinking alcohol.

I’m not sure why you’re comparing Botox to alcohol. Are you saying Botox is an addiction? Or helps cover up for other insecurities?

I think pp's point is that we consume all kinds of "toxins" on a regular basis

WhoTF compares a glass of wine your body naturally digests in 6 hours to Botox shots into your forehead muscles?!?

Talk about idiotic. Thanks for yet another data point of these types.

Someone here must sell or administer Botox and have a temper. Agree having a drink versus getting botox is not the same thing. I don’t think either is bad but I’m not going to be a lunatic trying to defend it.

Maybe because they recognize that the men they are dating have no idea they had a nose job in the last, use Botox, had a boob job and yet seem very happy with their looks?

Maybe it’s about more than appearance. To me, it’s a red flag regarding values, confidence, and self esteem.

The point is that a lot of men don’t even know. See the posts from men who didn’t learn until later that the women they were dating had had a nose job.

The WHOLE point. Walk around smug and judgmental, with no idea. Of course your wife doesn't wear makeup, is naturally hair-free in all the right places, and has hair the never goes grey.

Sounds like the midlife crisis Ozempic crowd.

Flappy skin surgery is on the rise too, and that’s a painful long recovery.

Would you be fine to date but pause to marry and have kids?

I grew up in America but in my home country, many women get plastic surgery. My child has a friend who is below average with two beautiful parents. They could be the poster child for plastic surgery while their child has no features of her parents.

Wondering how people feel when the person they are dating had plastic surgery. How do you feel when you see an old photo and they look very different?

It just depends what circles you run in.

Wash DC is not Brazil, Miami, LA or Dallas. And white collar senior exec women don’t have a month to take off for body enhancement surgery. Life has enough hiccups.

I dont think most men notice. But there is a point of (too much) plastic surgery where like attracts like.
Similar to how drama attracts drama.

I’m doing Botox and injectables once a year and have small breast implants. Let me tell you - men notice shit! I only get complements how naturally beautiful I am.

I don’t over inject and just correct mimic folds around the mouth and raise eye brows. I’m also naturally young looking - usually Botox in unnoticeable on pretty women, and very noticeable on those who try to change their appearance to “become “ beautiful.

I don’t have wrinkles or lines, I live a stress free life!

FYI, Botox might be linked to ALS. The type of ALS that starts in the mouth disproportionately strikes older women, who also happen to be the target market of Botox.

Of the nearly 70,000 users who reported side effects using Botox, 16 have reported having ALS. That’s your link? Do people even read and think about the links they post?

That's more than double the occurence in the general population.

Actually, ALS might be 4x as common among Botox users than the general population.

16 ALS cases out of 70,000 Botox users = 0.02%
Current prevalence of ALS in the US estimated at 5 people out of 100,000 = 0.005%

I don’t have plastic surgery but I’ve heard from women who got their boobs done that, even though their husbands weren’t thrilled about the idea, they couldn’t keep their eyes and hands off of them once they did.

While I think few people love the balloon bolt on type, a skilled surgeon can do amazing things.
