To ask what age you started cosmetic procedures?

Well as I said earlier my friend had a tweak and I couldn't tell. She looked glowing and well like she'd had a facial and a holiday.

Most do not go ott.

Some do look like clones, though-top lip like a shelf, killer eyebrows, Miss Piggy eyelashes and shiny skin.

One of the only reasons i’d do it is because ‘friends’ keep taking awful photos of me and sharing them on social media- hate it!
Also i look permenently tired and would like to look less so.

Ask them to remove them? I have one friend who constantly posts on socials. I dislike having my pic online so I ask her to remove anything she posts with me in it. It’s funny how the ones she posts are always those where she looks perfect and the rest of us perhaps not so much.

People get tweaks whether 'strong characters' or not. Nothing wrong with caring about one's appearance just unfortunately some go too far but we see that in other areas such as tats and fat jabs.

I’m 41 and really think i need it this last year. It’s the cost and slight fear stopping me.

And not ugly as such but women who are not obsessed with looking like everyone else. Individuals if you like. Strong characters who don’t feel the need to follow the herd.

The women who don’t post selfies of themselves posing on Facebook and instagram are less likely to get enhancements imo.

In a way yes.

Lots of people suggest low self esteem for using Botox but I’ve found that those who use it are just incredibly vain. No lack of confidence evident at all. It tends to be good looking women who get it because they want to hold onto their looks.

Putin and Cowell, two raging narcissists

I've never met a man who feels insecure about their looks, quite the opposite many think they're gorgeous despite such things as having bad teeth and being overweight. Skincare is a good thing though and if I was bald I'd want a hair transplant too.

Don't think men get ott fillers do they? I've never seen balloon faces on men.

I was around 36. I started with crystal clear facials, went to microneedling, then radiotherapy. I had 11s, got botox a few times and they went for good. I got my lips done once, it was to replace volume I'd lost. I'm now 59 and can't get under eye filler. I only do skin care and home needling. You can give your skin help at 60, but it's lifestyle and genetics. Spend until post menopause, when you become more accepting and your view on everything changes. So you might decide to spend on experiences instead.
For those suggesting otherwise, men are doing tweaks, using skin care and popping off to Istanbul for hair transplants.

Edited

There's nothing more unattractive in a man than fillers, and botox.

Yes his tattoos are excessive but aesthetic procedure wise he doesn't look filled imo. Quite the opposite his laughter lines are totally visible.

Hes clearly had work , rumoured Bleph plus cheek filler , its given him a " Ken" effect

Tattoos are a risk but laser removal of tattoos is even riskier , raises Lymphoma risk

I had ipl for a scar and bonus found it gave a big collagen boost! People should go down the ipl route. It's cheap too.

Yes, I had BBL and laser genesis, very effective for pigment, finely lines and plumping.

If you have botox, fillers, have had surgical procedures, threads etc.
I'm 35 and have been having crows' feet Botox once or twice a year for a few years, and I've had nasolabial fold filler twice. This seems to be ok for now, I'm trying to hold off on anything else for as long as possible due to cost and not wanting too much maintenance and upkeep with it all.
Eventually I'm sure I'll start to need more though, I know I'm still young and I'm using spf 50 and retinol currently.

So just wondered what sort of age you noticed the biggest changes and started anti ageing treatments? Please no judgement, I know it isn't for everyone.

At 46, went to a GP/dermatologist about rosacea that was flaring in perimenopause.
Had several laser treatments and now my skin is in good condition I get Botox twice a year. No plans for filler, am 50 now and happy with how I look (good for my age but not younger).

I like a natural look on humans so personally I grieve for the god-like body DB once had, unsullied by tattoos.

I know we're not talking about tattoos here and in moderation I'm sure they're not harmful. But recently tattoo ink has been found present in the lymph nodes of heavily tattooed people. This is worrying and if you've got your whole body covered, that's not great.

David Beckham
Ruined his looks

Interesting discussion about status

I read an article about this where the tide is turning and untouched older faces are the ones that infer status and control
" so rich/ happy/ confident I dont need to bother"
Similar to the 90s boob jobs, its being seen as mainstream and therefore less desirable and so reversal/ dissolving gaining popularity -of course this costs £££
You couldnt make it up!

I’m not sure what you’re referring to actually. Maybe a facelift you can always tell. Botox and filler and skin boosters you really can’t
