[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 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]
My guess is you’re very early 40s and you aren’t aware of lots of people who are doing it because it’s not overdone. [/quote]
Nope. I definitely know people who do it but not many who do it regularly as beauty maintenance. I don't think it's considered the norm the way, say, dying your hair or certain topical skincare choices are. I think it's super personal and kind of depends on whether the stuff Botox can address bother you (as this thread makes clear, not everyone is bothered by some of these lines) and also whether you want to dedicate time and energy to maintenance.

I know a few people who do it regularly and love it, another group who does it sometimes for a special event or a "refresh" and I still know plenty of women who don't do it at all. I'm in the last group, though I have zero judgment for anyone who does it (I do lots of other things that require quite a bit of maintenance and energy, it's not like I'm taking some principled stance against Botox).[/quote]
