Curious, why are you too scared to tell your DH that you do Botox? Not healthy.

I’m fat so I don’t need fillers or Botox.

I do it on my forehead. FWIW, my husband is a doctor and is totally fine with Botox but doesn’t want me to do fillers. He is concerned about the long term effects from those.

I'm a just-turned-37 yo academic and I can't freaking wait to get Botox. If DH and I weren't trying to aggressively save I'd go tomorrow.

I do the 11 between my eyebrows because it made me look angry all the time. The funny thing is I'm much happier now that I do not have a permanent angry face. I'm 49.

They just aren't telling you. I am 51 and while it may not be the "norm" among my younger friends (mid 30's-mid 40's), there is certainly a percentage, say 30%ish, that do it. And then there's another 25% or so that are either considering it or would do it if not for the expense.....

Your big problem is that you have to do "secret" trips to the derm.

Who are you people who hide stuff from your DHs? That is so weird.

Good point. Not fat, but a few extra pounds. I don't diet because I fear a gaunt face.

She is obviously embarrassed to tell her husband or else he is controlling.

I didn't have any wrinkles until age 39 and then it was a very faint 11. There is no way I would have started in my 20s and been injecting that poison in my head for 50+ years.
