[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]think many of us have discovered that hitting our 40s [/b]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]

How far into your 40's are you? [/quote]

48. But I definitely saw shift in my career early in my 40s. When I was younger, people evaluated me first by my relationships status and then my parental status. But around 40, and I think linked to me just looking more middle-aged generally, I feel that I began to be seen primarily as a professional. That's only increased with time. I think one of the best things that can happen in your career as a woman is hitting an age where no one expects you to get pregnant. Make of that what you will, but I think it matters. So looking menopausal is actually a plus, whether you are or not.[/quote]
