[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People should do what they want but I don't actually think Botox (and especially fillers) will help you in the workplace unless your workplace is Hollywood or an adjacent industry, and even then they only help so much and in some cases hurt.

Most of the women who are most successful in my field (law and consulting) are either not doing this stuff or doing little enough that it's non-obvious. A lot of people do other interventions and are pretty open about it (and we all talk about skin care products) and I know some people who like Botox. But I know a bunch who don't bother. It's obviously not an affordability issue. I think many of us have discovered that hitting our 40s helped us in terms of gaining respect and power in our careers. I can't imagine wanting to look younger. I feel like I finally get the level of instant respect that some of my male peers got when we were in our early 30s. I'm not giving it up.[/quote]

I’m a lawyer in biglaw and agree with the above, but I’m still doing Botox.  It’s definitely not needed for my career. I have authority in the room because I’m the expert, not because of Botox. Totally agree. That said, for my personal life it does make me feel good. [/quote]
