AIBU to think it's ridiculous to spend money on facial fillers?

There are a couple of mums at my school who have clearly had facial fillers. One of them is quite open about it and recommends the doctor to other mums, but a couple don't say anything but i can tell they've had work done. Obviously it's a choice, and they can spend money how they want, but am I being naive to be shocked that they'd be that insecure that they'd make semi-permanent alternations to their face?

It’s no different, OP. You just don’t know enough about cosmetic procedures.

Who says they are insecure? Why is it your business how they spend money?

It crosses a line for YOU fair enough but it’s not your body so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Women like you really are the worst kind

Pretty rude to use words like “ridiculous” and “insecure” about other women.

Who's line? That's right, yours. You need a hobby.

why is it different to teeth or hair - it is only a newer way to change part of your appearance and people have been doing this for 1000s of years

It crosses a line for you but that doesn’t make it wrong.

They're not permanent. Most types only last a few months.

I think it's different from teeth or hair, it definitely crosses a line. It's paying for fairly expensive injections of a substance to change the look of your face.

Do you have the same judgy pants attitude to semi permanent teeth whitening/non-essential dental treatment / hair colouring?

Obviously it's a choice, and they can spend money how they want,

I think that’s the important bit.

I choose to get my hair dyed. It’s my money and that’s how I choose to use it. I wouldn’t consider fillers but as long as it’s their choice then it doesn’t make it wrong
