What about my neck!?!? But then I look around at the women in the waiting room in their 50s and I wonder - what's the end game? It doesn't look natural. And frankly if I'm honest with myself, the botox doesn't look natural, either. I should have wrinkles on my forehead at this point! One of my most beautiful friends has just passed the tipping point from "how is she 40?!?!" to "she's starting to look weird" and I want to shake her. But it's her choice and I guess if she feels good that's what matters.
We're watching Bad Sisters and I'm struck by the natural teeth, natural aging, etc. and how we just don't allow that of our American celebrities. I find it easier to become absorbed in the characters and story when I'm not distracted by a glass forehead and veneered teeth in a period drama.
I do the same as you PP and am the same age but have never really considered venturing beyond Botox.
I am also watching Bad Sisters and I think Eva and Ursula are both so pretty. I didn't connect how healthy and realistic that is to feel about women in their 40s/50s, but I am reassured to feel that way and not feel a pull to strive for a plastic ideal. I mean we'll see about a mini lift in 15 years, but right now, I'm happy with my face.
