To think that botox, fillers, and other facial procedures are becoming too common?

Demi Moore is looking amazing. She's looking better than she has in decades.

I agree that Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt have had really good work done.

These threads are filled with of people who can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that there is no way in gods creation they can know if they can tell when people have had work. It's such ludicrous claim. It's obvious that the only time you can tell is when....you can tell. The times you can't tell are the times you can't tell.
Christ it's like trying to explain to a toddler

I'm here to tell no one can... have a medical professional administer it to you. No one wants a frozen face, similarly no one wants hard fake breasts, it's not attractive, no one wants duck lips either, I've had hair extensions that have looked ridiculous, I've also had amazing ones,, it's subjective & again like I said maybe it is cost prohibative, which isn't cool

I’ve warned him about girls who are too vain and obsessed with their looks. I think it’s a huge character flaw tbh”

why did you warn him?!

We need to stop blaming women for doing what society demands of them, and start blaming society for expecting the impossible from women. In a society where being young and beautiful wins you approval, opens more doors and reduces the criticism, direct and implicit, aimed at you as a woman, it's the rational thing to try to look younger and more beautiful. That is the sad fact. Women are obsessed with their looks because the world around them is obsessed with their looks - not because they have the moral flaw of vanity.

Also a lot of procedures look great in photos or when a face is still but in motion/animated things can look off.

These threads always attract people who say they have botox but it's ok as "no one can tell".

I'm here to tell you - they can.

It makes people look strange. There’s definitely a weird Botox look. The only problem is that they think they look really good. I have a teenage son. I’ve warned him about girls who are too vain and obsessed with their looks. I think it’s a huge character flaw tbh.

No, it won’t reduce your age in years, but it will reduce what age has done to your face, caused by bone ,fat, collagen and muscle loss, which affects every face in ageing. Some fare better than others due to lots of factors, care of face, rapid weight loss, smoking etc, Look at the before and after photos of a really good face lift. Sagging jowls and a turkey neck greeting you when you look in the mirror does nothing for your morale. No creams or tweakments will make any significant difference but a good facelift will take 10-15 years off you

You're right, Botox doesn't take years off you but what it does is "freshen " you up, like you've had a decent sleep or a break away at a spa or similar.. no one looks younger having had Botox but make up sits easier & you use less plus you don't have to shove your face in a bowl of ice water to reduce eye puffiness

Not really. She's always been an attractive woman but she's not a Hollywood siren. She's attractive in any every day kind of way. For any Hollywood actress to say no to any kind of work must take some determination. All around you everyone is having something done.

Jolie Foster looked good in Nyad. Slim, fit and a bit wrinkly. But she may have had work done, who knows?
I recently saw Indira Verma on stage in Macbeth and she looked phenomenal, yet natural.

But that's probably the point isn't it? She looks very good for her age so it's not a concern for her.

Jodie Foster. She's kept it all natural. She looked very well on it too in her latest film.

A little bit of Botox done properly isn’t obvious, but those who know what to look for might spot it.

The fully frozen, dish face look practised by backsteet unqualified twits from their garden room, is.

I’m glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s and wasn’t constantly being bombarded with fake images of impossibly perfect looking stars.

I would say these procedures are in line with all the fakeness, fake smiles, people faking happy families and happy couples in social media, now fake face and lips and cheekbones and Botox seem the norm with all the younger generations, obviously social media has generated some sort of body dismorphia, much worse than we had by looking at impossibly thin models on magazine covers.

I had orthodontics when young to correct buck teeth caused by thumb sucking. It worked, but I had to have the teeth next to my front teeth removed to make room. Now that I’m older and my gums have shrunk I still look a bit rabbity because my two front teeth are big compared to the ones next to them. I make a conscious effort when smiling to make sure they don’t overlap my lower lip. But they’re my teeth, I’d look like someone else if I had Hollywood teeth.

Frankly, I think the "poor" women are doing better in this scenario!

Met Gala photos still show weird shit going on with her undercheek, nasolabial folds, and adjoining areas around the mouth.

She's only 61, with excellent bone structure and the sort of skin that ages well. None of that was necessary, in my view.

I have a completely crooked front tooth (my parents were too interested in other things when I was growing up to shell out for orthodontics for me) and I never got it corrected even when I absolutely could have myself (had orthodontics done to other parts of my mouth for non-cosmetic reasons). It's just part of me! It hasn't impeded my career, love life or anything else.

She did have a weird situation with her mouth. But she emerged a few months ago looking jaw-droppingly good. No doubt after having spent $250K on a full face refresh.

So much judgement and belittling of other women on this thread.

Personally I have Botox and it’s a miracle worker for me. I have it done very subtle every 4 months. I find that I hardly have to wear any make up and I don’t spend any money on skincare anymore.
I am actually not more than average vain and I feel valued by society with a without botox so don’t need anyone to feel sorry for me.
