Men: how do you feel about women who get regular botox, fillers, etc?

[Anonymous]

I got a lumpectomy and my boyfriend didn't notice. Never underestimate a man's stupidity.

I promise you that a lot of the people you think haven’t had work done, have.

Nope/ Like I said it's noticeable. Go in peace and enjoy your Botox!

And yet multiple people here have told you that they're complimented for not getting it when they have. Stop gaslighting women.

Women also do this to each other. I run in a hippie natural crowd and I can't tell you how many times I get compliments on my natural aging and asked for skincare (green only!) recommendations. They're fairly sanctimonious and WOULD NEVER! look at an injectable. I Botoxed my 11's and frankly, nothing short of that will fix your RBF scowl. It is not noticeable except I look less mean. I've taken to cutting the, "these fake looking bimbos!" crap short by just being open about it. The mental gymnastics that then ensues is crazy. "Well, we weren't talking about YOU! Clearly, I couldn't see and it makes you seem more empathetic, so it is more therapeutic than cosmetic, no? You did it out of something other than vanity, clearly."

Just laugh and move on. But these people who are like, "WE CAN ALL SEE IT!" are delusional.

They definitely know. It’s so easy to tell the shine.

Botox doesn't cause shine. Retin-A, peels, and lasers can cause increased oil production and shine.

Oh I know. My young colleagues are always asking me for my skin care secrets. I tell them I get botox and filler. I tell them where I get it and how much it costs. I tell them which clinic I go to. They still refuse to believe me. It's offensive, frankly. Nothing pisses me off more than people who insist that I'm a liar when I'm not.

Don’t listen to what men say on this, watch who they are looking at.

Don't get filler for 11s, get botox for sure.

Yes, PP actually this is high, high risk (filler between brows) and most good doctors and plastic surgeons won't do this outside of really outstanding circumstances. A few units of Botox would likely do the trick and DH probably wouldn't even notice. I know this was not why the thread started but please take this advice if you do anything at all.

Maybe this will settle the noticeable debate….

Went on a date with a man who administers Botox (albeit for headaches). He told me I didn’t need Botox. I said surprise mofo, I’ve been getting it every 3 months for the last 5 years and THATS why I look like I don’t need it.

Then I tried to get him to hook me up with some units at cost and he wouldn’t. Oh well.

When I get over-botoxed, my forehead is definitely shiny.

You should get it once and try it to see if you like it. It will lessen the intensity of the 11s but your 11s won’t go away at this point. And the Botox fades after 3-4 months so should your DH hate the look or it’s too expensive, then you don’t ever have to get it again.

You can wear makeup if your forehead gets shiny.

It’s no use. They NEED to believe they can tell and it’s obvious to everyone. I don’t know why but it’s very important to them so you’ll never convince them otherwise.

How old are they?

I started Botox in my mid-30s. Preventative Botox to prevent the frown lines is great. No one but a few friends and my DH knows.

You would notice she looked better you just wouldn’t know why.

you wish

We had a boss when I worked abroad who would always come back from home leave looking about twenty hears younger. Think she was getting fillers. When people told her she looked great she would always say "Thanks. I relaxed and rested a lot."
