You look old, tired and run down (people actually used tell me that out loud to my face) if you don't use Botox, and fake if you do (but it is less polite to say that out loud). I prefer the latter.
Like most things, excessive usage is the problem. A little Botox can be a win but some people overdo it. Faces are supposed to have SOME lines in them!
I'm a little bit happier since I trained myself not to give a shit what others do with their bodies. Especially aesthetic choices, regardless of how 'subtle' or 'excessive'. Takes a bit of mental practice to get there though.
There isn't anything really wrong with Botox in my opinion, it's not permanent and it works more as a preventative measure for wrinkles and visual aging than anything.q
Ikr? It is just weird that there is so much pressure on people to not do it but also remain youthful/age gracefully. In a complete rebellion to society, I've pumped my face with enough Botox to tranquilize a horse, but I don't have wrinkles (I'm smiling about it but you can't see that either). 😉
Just eat bad pickles and get botulism the fun way
I know a couple people who get cosmetic Botox regularly, and it genuinely looks good on all of them. They got good doctors.
One person is a close friend who struggles a lot with their body and is anorexic. They do a lot of stuff to look good for their partner, including Botox. They are open with me about their horrible mental health issues. I know plastic surgeons try to screen and reject people with body dysmorphia, but they do a shit job of it.
Using Botox is a sign that someone isn't accepting of their body, and refusing that aging is natural/alright. It's someone giving into the idea that you shouldn't look wrinkly which just feeds a weird unnecessary culture for everyone to want cosmetic surgery.
It's not as bad as the cultural normalization of steroids or ozempic, but I wish everybody would push past the need to please others and be happy with their bodies
reject people with body dysmorphia
I thought that was the entire point of plastic surgery, if not for helping mild dysmorphia then what's the situation where someone would get plastic surgery?
Oh it totally is a sign someone wants to change their looks. I think it has to change at a societal level for you to get individuals to be less interested in it. And it is pervasive. For example, research shows that attractive people are more likely to get promoted into positions of leadership. But that's just one (albeit weird) place it happens.
Hi, me, I'm dad.
I read this as an Alzheimer's/dementia joke. And those are never funny.
Everyone copes differently.
BoTox
Body Toxification?
where is the joke? is it just that people who use Botox to look different... look different?
I might be reading into it, but I thought the joke was that parents can react childishly when you change your appearance in a way they don't approve of. My mum keeps saying 'ooops I thought there was snot hanging from your nose but it's just you piercing', for example.
They need to make a piercing that looks like a blob of snot for people to wear around their parents.
ah that makes sense actually
What if she legit keeps thinking it's snot?
She's also lacking the same purple skin tone as her mom, so I'm not sure what's up there either.
That's supposed to be lighting, the right is darker and the left is well lit.
The Grey Eminence always reigns from the shadows
Her mom probably drink his colloidal silver.
That's just the makeup
Yep, different is the right word for the results of a lot of plastic surgery.
Getting some botox is not "a lot of plastic surgery" tho :P
She (the mom) have alzheimer.
Botox give people an uncanny valley effect.
