What cosmetic procedures have you had done?

[finchyyy]

Just out of curiosity!
I'll go first. I'm 30.

Botox
Lip filler
Tear trough (this has to be one of my faves)
Nose filler
Composite bonded veneers (no shaving of teeth!)
Labiaplasty
Chin lipo
Gel nails
Individual lashes (no crazy spider lashes)
Tanning moisturiser every 2 weeks
Pedicure every 4.
Hair cut and highlighted every 3 months

Looking at that list I realise it's quite high maintenance. I'm curious as to what other posters have had done. And what has changed your life and can't live without?

Also, no need for the usual lot to come on and fall over themselves to tell us that they've had nothing done. I know it's not for everyone! :)

Always helps to cut down on the carbs!

Immigrant from.a very poor country. Lived in several countries. Seen a lot of horrific things.
I stand by my comment.

Round of applause for this!

You put it much better than I ever could have. Thank you :)

@Lentilweaver
What's terrifying about a thread on cosmetic procedures?

Very tempted to look into invisiline or similar after a few comments on this thread, got quite a bit uneven gap that makes my face look even more uneven than it already is but didn’t realise you could get them as adults.

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm wishing you well too and sending so much love and speedy recovery vibes!

Yes cancer and chemo change our bodies in ways we can't imagine. I still find little bits of me and think 'oh, well there goes that then!'
Excellent that you've managed to take such a good from a bad with the chic clothing and backless tops and dresses too. Your hair may grow back twice the thickness, mine certainly did. Every cloud and all that!

I really hope you're on the up now, cancer and chemo is a brutal game isn't it!

That's been the one thing for me (on my face) that has been my absolute favourite. They're painless and so easy. Invisalign is amazing!

@Santahoney I had a very lopsided face and fixed braces realigned it. Invisalign would not have been able to but this was 15 years ago so technique may have changed.

Ooooo fun!! I'm 36.

Boob job is next on the list!

I’m 55. I used to have my hair dyed but not anymore. I have my hair cut every eight weeks or so. I sometimes had a pedicure (no more than once a year). I paint my own nails. I have a good skincare regime but do it all myself. I’ve never been interested in having anything “done”.

None.

Age 55. Brows are microbladed. Had classic lashes a couple of times and loved them but found upkeep too much. Gel nails once every 2 weeks and toes once a month in the summer. Apart from that, nothing. A fringe hides the frown lines and I have reasonable skin. Hair cut once every 10 weeks or so but no colour as I'm a natural blonde.

Oops, I see you have included hair in the list.

I have it cut 2 or 3 times a year at the local college for £4. I've never dyed it, partly because it is black and I presume you would have to bleach it before dying it and even typing that is boring me!

I'm 49 and have just this year developed a line across my forehead and I have a few white hairs. I think that is probably normal for my age.

I also pluck out my single chin hair when I remember.

Thank you! Am actually adding a further three scars on Monday, just praying they're as neat as my mastectomy and lumpectomy scars! Seriously though, am fortunate on the scale of things, so that's been enough to carry me through an otherwise traumatic experience. I found my premature menopause far harder to deal with in terms of the emotional and physical effect on my body. As for my hair, ha. Pre-cancer, it was already super thick, it's grown back even thicker. Regrettably, it's super curly (which I expected) and too short to blow dry straight. Am living for the day I can properly abandon my headscarf, reach for the hair dryer and round brush and straighten the hell out of it 😂

Cancer and its treatment is brutal, on every single level - emotionally, mentally and physically. I have the upmost respect for anyone whom has been through it too.

Lastly, another post reminded me that I did try a lip flip a few years ago. It didn't work. I do sometimes think about getting a tiny bit of filler in my top lip to smooth out the lines above my upper lip, but yeah, post-chemo has made me not want to inject anything into my body unless there's a medical reason to do so.

Breast augmentation at 25 (considering implant removal next year).
Botox every 6 months
Hair cut and coloured every 10-12 weeks
Pedicure every 4 weeks
Composite bonding/regular whitening
Hydrafacials maybe 4 times a year

Things i have tried once but haven't repeated:
Lip filler (didn't suit me)
Nose filler (did make a difference but not enough to justify regular treatments)

Hair cut and colored every 6-8 weeks
Occasional Gel nails
Botox 3 times a year
Pedicure twice a year
Eyebrow wax and thread every month

Fairly low maintenance IMO

Why did you stop weightlifting. The benefits will be all gone by now

Haircut every 6-7 weeks. I’ve never dyed it but wouldn’t be averse once I start going grey.
Gel nails every 3 weeks.
Pedicure probably twice a year.
Eyebrows threaded every couple of months.
Specialist facial once a month.

I’ve also had LVL done once before a holiday.

No judgment from me on others doing it but personally I can’t bear the thought of injecting stuff in my face. I’m nearly 40 and don’t see this changing.

I had Invisalign last year and definitely do not regret it. It is definitely a faff, having to take them out anytime you want to eat etc. and you have to wear a retainer at night forever. But for me it was worth it. I'm not bothered about other aspects of my appearance like wrinkles but really really hated my teeth.

That isn't me criticising people who care about other aspects, I think a lot of people have a "thing" that bothers them. Someone else with my exact face may not have minded the teeth, but maybe wouldn't like the nose/skin/eyes or whatever.

I'm 60, very low maintenance.

I had braces as a teen, then as an adult composite bonding to close a gap. I get highlights done three or four times a year, and a trim every six weeks. I tidy up my own brows, and I epilate wherever necessary. I do my own nails.

I got asked if I use botox recently because I'm relatively unlined for my age, but I never have. I've vaguely considered filler because I have marionette lines starting to appear and I hate them, but I'm far too scared of something going wrong to risk it.

Thanks so much for your reply, OP! I hugely appreciate it. It's incredibly encouraging to hear from a "real person" who isn't trying to sell anything (or alternatively, scare me off). Really good of you to take the time to type out such a detailed response to my question, and I want you to know I'm grateful! Sorry to see you've had some nasty responses from a few posters. I think it's great that you can look and feel your best

One of my colleagues is having treatment just now and even now the difference is amazing-definitely worth looking into

I forgot I had braces in my teens. Should I have counted them?😂

Nothing! I trimmed my hair this year but that’s it.

I’m 44 and absolutely none.

I have had reconstructive surgery for cancer though and will probably need at least another 1 or 2. Definitely not an improvement though, Iooks shit not better. But I’m grateful to be not dead.

Botox
0.75ml lip filler once a year just in my top lip
Box dye at home every 2 months

Pretty low maintenance here but I wouldn't rule out future surgeries if I can ever afford them (tummy tuck post-extreme weight loss and a breast augmentation).
